Additional business information
Its website and online advertising include the following claims:
"The northeast's largest volume powersports dealer since 1985."
"We have more lenders on file than anyone in New England and can finance local residents as well as customers from out of town."
"New England Cycle Center is the northeast's largest dealer of Suzuki, Yamaha and Victory motorcycles."
According to the BBB Code of Advertising, the primary responsibility for truthful and non-deceptive advertising rests with the advertiser. Advertisers should be prepared to substantiate any objective claims or offers made before publication or broadcast. Upon request, they should present such substantiation promptly to the advertising medium or BBB. The business did not provide the requested substantiation for these claims.
Its advertising also includes claims related to pricing and service, including:
"At New England Cycle Center we are known as having the best price and service on new and used motorcycles, ATV and PWC/jet ski's in New England..."
"We simply sell Kawasaki Motorcycles and Powersports, Yamaha Motorcycles and Powersports as well as Sea-Doo & Kawasaki Watercraft at the best possible prices and give you the best deal."
"At New England Cycle Center we are known as having the best deals and service on new and used motorcycles..."
Despite an advertiser's best efforts to ascertain competitive prices, the rapidity with which prices fluctuate and the difficulty of determining prices of all sellers at all times preclude an absolute knowledge of the truth of unqualified underselling/lowest price claims. The business did not provide substantiation for these pricing and service claims.
Its website states "There's a reason we have been and continue to be number one!" Because statements such as this can be proved or disproved, they require substantiation. The business did not provide substantiation or modify the claim.
