Ordered parts at the parts counter, I read the part number to the young lady at the counter, and yet she still managed to order the incorrect parts. Thats 2 weeks of riding time lost waiting for the wrong part, plus several more waiting for someone else to ship them up here, I wont bother coming back to try again.

I own a 1997 HD Heritage Springer. I just called the Outpost service department to make an appointment to have new tires put on my bike. The service guy was not only rude to me on the phone, but he also informed me Outpost does not work on HD motorcycles! What kind of HD motorcycle dealership does not work on HD motorcycles??Prior to the rude service person hanging up on me, he suggested I take my HD to Thunder Road, located at 910 College Road, Fairbanks. Looks like Thunder Road will be doing my tire replacement on my HD!Outpost, feel free to reach out to me and I will confirm my story in person!

Great selection, fair pricing for a dealership, and friendly helpful staff all around. I also really recommend going for riding gear at the end of the season, they heavily mark down gear. All around great experience buying my first Honda side by side, parts, and gear. A great one stop shop for Honda, Harley, BMW motorcycles, Polaris, and Stihl products.

Sad this place is closed on Saturday for people needing parts riding into Fairbanks from out of town! Whole group of us road in from Seward and needed some things, and it shows they are open today on Google.

What a really cool place. Yes it is a dealership for Harley and most of them are interesting. But as it is in Alaska this one combines the independent feel of Harley AND Alaska. Just a great place to look around and buy gear.

I have done business with The Outpost for about 10 years now. From the first time I walked in the door I have felt like part of the family. This is a great dealership that has a focus on service in every aspect.

I would highly recommend you look at Delta Power Sports prior to buying a Snow Machine here. They tend to run 1k higher then dealers located two hours away. Great service and style, just not the team of the better deal.

The service dept. was very polite and professional, even fixed a loose exhaust clamp and missing exhaust bolt at no charge as a courtesy gesture. The clothing dept. Is well stocked with very helpful employees. I enjoyed my time here and would not hesitate to return. The manager was quick to get rude with customers who asked him questions.

Hard entrance to find. Large selection of clothing to select from. Spent half an hour inside and not once did anyone come up to me and just say hi, good morning, can I help you with anything. I had to introduce myself to the two young women who were on their cell phones for assistance. Purchased some survivor overpriced t shirts and left. I worked for Harley Davidson for many years and trust me when I say this, This is not the policy nor guide lines of Harley Davidson but unfortunately each dealership is independently owned. Decided not to take any pictures.

It is a BMW motorcycle dealer also. Harleys and tattoos equal attitude, in this case a poor one. 6 hours to mount a front tire and change oil. Incompetent staff, rude people, useless service. Rip off of the nth degree. BMW should look to find another dealership. It will be losing customers here. Stay away and find some where else to go.

I needed coolant for my Polaris ATV and some Stihl equipment. I went to purchase a $720 backpack fogger (SR 450), $650 backpack blower (BR 800 C-E) and a $650 FS240 trimmer for my business. I spent about 5 minutes waiting for somebody in sales to come help, which they didnt. The Stihl desk was unoccupied, but there were numerous sales folks walking around waxing motorcycles or playing on their phones. I then went and pulled down the FS 240, put the harness on, adjusted it, made more adjustments, attached the trimmer, and walked around to see how the weight was distributed and how comfortable it was. In hindsight, I probably should have swung it around the motorcycles that may have got their attention. At this point, I started to really notice how little they cared about the Stihl brand within their store as 2 other sets of people had come and gone by the time I had danced around with the trimmer and accessories. I had spent almost 20 minutes in the store, looking at the equipment that I wanted to purchase (They didnt have a backpack fogger). I then grabbed the coolant and went to the parts counter and paid.  During the transaction, I was asked Did you find everything you needed? I replied that I had spent far too much time waiting for somebody to assist me, so I was going to go else ware. The counter guy offered to see if he could find somebody, to which I declined. I have been disappointed by the Outpost, and have used the dealership in Delta as the only place I will purchase Polaris vehicles from in Interior Alaska. I only went to the Outpost because I needed coolant AND Stihl equipment. They had both.  I was told by the parts guy that the Stihl salesman actually works at Fort Knox Gold mine, this was a part time job for him when he wanted to come in, and that he didnt know much about the equipment anyway.The Outpost touts themselves as the farthest north blankity-blank dealership in America. But, that is the only thing they have going for them. I have never been impressed with their customer service or their service department. (I spent almost $350 for them to tell me my fuel pump was bad, diagnosis only, no repair). I have purchased Stihl and Honda small engine equipment (Chainsaw and Generator), but that was because I was new in town and was willing to accept sub-par customer service as the norm. But, after being here in Fairbanks for 10 years, Ive learned that sometimes the little shops are the ones that shine, the glitzy dealership on the highway is based solely on their exclusivity of some brands. The equipment I need to pay the bill is available elsewhere, and most all manufactures offer Nationwide pricing so, going someplace with big windows and shiny motorcycles isnt going to save you any money. Go to the little guys. As far as weekend toys, I have NEVER been disappointed by going to Delta (I live in North Pole, so it doesnt seem THAT far to save a thousand or so dollars vs. these guys).I know this was long, but after 10 years of not having anything positive to say about the Outpost, I feel I have the clout to post a long winded and factual track record experience with the Outpost. I fully expect to see a reply from their customer service rep stating We are sorry for bla-bla-bla, we pride ourselves in bla-bla-bla. Well Outpost, after 10 years of sub-par customer service, I can fully feel justified in saying, Fairbanks is known for its sub-par customer service, but you get first place for poor customer service. (We are sort of an island here in Fairbanks, Sub-par seems standard in Fairbanks...) The Outpost only has their exclusive brands that carry the weight and force that brand of customer to go there.  Ill visit for fluids, order my hard-parts from online Polaris dealers, purchase my Honda small engine from either the Wood Way (I have some opinions about them), Sportsmans Warehouse (Generators and their Military discounts!) or Craig Taylor for Honda small engine and Stihl equipment.

Best service ever! Had my quad in for music repairs a few times and it was always the same busy service shop ordeal. Had to make an appointment a week or so ahead of time and then leave the bike for about a week. A littl annoying but I guess thats how it goes when you need service during the busy season. At least the repairs were always done well and the price was fair. But these guys went above and beyond when I blew my electrical on the trail about 40 miles north of Chena hotsprings resort. I was lucky enough to have a sat phone and they had one of their mechanics talk me through the whole repair so I could get the thing running and make it back home. Probably would have taken me 2 days to walk back to my truck and I woulda had to retrieve the bike later. These guys saved my ass!

Havent had the pleasure of dealing with their sales team, but if its anything like their service team they should be avoided. Even for Fairbanks service this place is bad. Impossible to get on the phone, someone kept picking up and telling me they were too busy to schedule and appointment and they would call me back. Never did...multiple times.Its a pain that I have to move back to the lower 48 with a broken ATV, but Id rather do that than give money to them.
