"The owner and staff are very knowledgeable.  They helped my wife and I pick out snowmobiles that fit our needs.  In addition, he made himself available to me on several occasions as I shopped for a trailer.  I would've bought one from them but, they didn't have one in and couldn't get one in my very short time.  He also provided me information on the trailer I ended up buying which helped me negotiate $500 off of the price I was quoted.  I should also mention we drove 3 hours from down State and past several other dealers just to deal with them.  Very happy with the knowledge, availability of products and deals."

Snowmobile Purchase
"I am very late in writing this - but I am hoping the saying "better late than never" applies here.
September 2019 I was on a motorcycle trip with a dear friend of mine heading north on I-75 when a link on the chain of my motorcycle locked up and jumped the sprockets - basically putting me in desperate need of help. I was towed to Indian River Sports Center. They quickly diagnosed the situation and were able to locate and source the parts needed fast. They had the parts overnighted, put my repairs as a priority, and me back on the road in less than 48 hours! In addition to this - they helped me find WONDERFUL accommodations close to town within walking distance to good food.
They took care of this tired traveler --- and with my travel companion needing to move on to meetup we were joining, they made me as a solo female feel safe and well taken care of. I respect that and have passed this on to MANY of the women rider sites. Respect to Indian River Sports Center!  PROFESSIONAL! KIND! QUALITY!

I cannot tell you how many times I have referred  Indian River Sports Center and the place I stayed - and how beautiful Indian River is to stay if in the area."

"Just rented a couple snowmobiles yesterday. Everyone was absolutely awesome! Very nice staff, got us in and out quick, and competitive prices. Nice facility too, if you need anything at all. We will be renting every year from now on here."

"Jeff in sales was great to deal with.  I highly recommend them.  They went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with my purchase.  I purchased a used watercraft and was treated the same as if I was buying a new one. Their customer service is top notch.  Buy with confidence!"

Used Boat Purchase
"Have had several new and used boats my entire life...  Absolutely unmatched service.

Jeff at IRSC called me after he was able to find me a last minute winter storage location.  Short turn around time, so he helped get me completely setup all the way down to coming to my house and picked up the boat for me.  THIS should be the standard in service... not the exception."

Boat Storage Service
"I was excited to buy a used touring snowmobile and Jeff O from Indian River Power Sports suggested to be patient and he would call when they had the right trade in. A few weeks later he found a “unicorn”! A good as new Pantera LTD. Their service department gave it a nice once over and I picked it up the following week. Great buying experience. I referred my riding buddy and Jeff found him a nice Ski Doo!  The retail store is really nice too!"
