Winches Again
winchman:
I am biased as when I set up Winches International ( no longer trading)and was the North West agent for Come Up, I never had one warrenty claim from the Come Ups I sold
I spoke and visited and researched most manufacturers.
I got very little support from Superwinch, Warn took months to respond, Come Up arranged a meeting the same week, followed the following week by a visit to the UK importer and agent to see stock levels, recieve training for applications and repairs.
I did raise several issues re warrenty claims and faults and was shown how any potential problems are redesigned and addressed.
I was very impressed.
The best place to buy any brand of winch is PG winches in Cornwall, Phil & Nick have been in the bussines for a long time and provide very good service at a competative price. www.winchrepairs.co.uk
Look at the trading history of who you buy from, do they take credit cards (this is handy should you have a problem and they have shut up shop) whats the warrenty?
I stoped selling winches as it was becoming more and more difficult, no one wanted to pay for repairs, and a glut of cheap Kews,GEWs etc just started to come in to the UK, so a similar looking winch could be bought for half the price, but what people didnt see is the quality is not as good.
I was making more money with my engineering work so I went 100% to this.
