When it comes to buying your next off-road vehicle, whether it's a quad, ATV, snowmobile, or any other powersport machine, choosing where you buy from can make all the difference. While big-box dealers or international brands may seem appealing with their low prices and flashy marketing, there's something special about supporting Canadian-born dealerships like Yes Drive.
At Yes Drive, we pride ourselves on being a homegrown Canadian dealership that cares deeply about our customers and the communities we serve. But what exactly makes choosing a local, Canadian dealership so important? Let’s explore the benefits and why shopping with Yes Drive is the smart, supportive choice.

1. Supporting Local Communities
When you buy from a Canadian dealership like Yes Drive, you're doing more than just purchasing a machine — you're supporting local economies. Unlike larger multinational corporations where profits may go overseas, your purchase helps create jobs right here in Canada. Whether it's through sales, marketing, customer service, or local mechanics, every transaction helps keep Canadian families employed and fuels the economy in your community.
Additionally, Canadian dealerships like us, are more likely to reinvest in local projects, sponsor local events, or support grassroots initiatives. For example; we pride ourselves in being very active up in High Level and immediate surrounding area! By choosing Yes Drive, you're helping foster a sense of connection and pride in our Canadian culture.
2. Access to Personal, Tailored Customer Service
At Yes Drive, we treat our customers like family. With our roots firmly planted in Canada, we understand the unique challenges our fellow Canadians face, whether you're in a bustling city or living on a remote reserve. If you're rebuilding your credit or trying to find a financing option that suits your needs, we're here to listen, help, and guide you every step of the way.
In larger, more impersonal dealerships, it can be easy to feel like just another number. At Yes Drive, we make it our mission to provide a friendly, empathetic, and personal experience. No one gets lost in the shuffle here — we take the time to understand your situation, answer your questions, and find solutions tailored to your needs.
3. Supporting Canadian Jobs and Craftsmanship
One of the benefits of choosing a Canadian dealership is the opportunity to buy products that are built with local expertise and quality in mind. Many of the machines and brands we carry are created and designed with Canadian terrain and weather conditions in mind. Whether it's for tackling snow-covered trails in the winter or conquering rough, off-grid terrains, Canadian-built vehicles are built to last and perform in our unique climate.
By getting pre-approved through a local dealership like Yes Drive, you're also supporting the local guys - and that says something!
4. Reliable, Convenient, and Familiar
When you choose Yes Drive, you can rest easy knowing that you’re working with a dealership that understands your needs and is dedicated to providing the best service. With our focus on providing second-chance financing and supporting those with credit challenges, we aim to make the purchasing process easier for everyone, regardless of their financial background.
Unlike larger dealerships that may not provide specialized services or consider personal circumstances, Yes Drive is built to cater to Canadians looking for help. We understand the barriers many Canadians face, and we're committed to offering flexible solutions that can make a real difference.
5. Environmental Impact and Sustainability
Canadians care about the environment, and we do too! Local dealerships are often more involved in sustainable practices, whether it's in their business operations or through advocating for eco-friendly powersport machines. Many of the products we offer have been designed to minimize their environmental impact, and we encourage responsible riding practices.
Buying from a local dealership like Yes Drive also means supporting environmentally conscious initiatives within Canada, ensuring that we work together to protect the land we all love.
6. Building Long-Term Relationships
When you buy from Yes Drive, you're not just making a one-time purchase. You're building a long-term relationship with a brand that has your back. Whether you're looking for help maintaining your vehicle, need advice on your next purchase, or want to learn about upgrades and financing options, we’ll be here for you every step of the way.
Our goal is to build trust with our customers, ensuring that you feel supported not just at the point of sale, but for years to come. As a Canadian-owned business, we understand the importance of standing by our customers, and that's a promise we take seriously.
