About Savoy Equipment Ltd.
Equipment gets bought once and lived with for years, which makes the shop standing behind it as important as the machine itself. Savoy Equipment Ltd. keeps an address at 3202 29 St in Vernon, in the central part of the city where the working errands tend to cluster.
Anyone dealing with a supplier of this kind learns to arrive prepared. Have the make, model and serial number written down before you call about a part, because that is the first thing you will be asked and guessing wastes a trip. Ask whether parts are stocked or ordered in and how long an order usually takes, whether servicing is done on site or sent away, and what the warranty covers once the machine leaves the door. It is also worth asking what is carried in season and what gets put away, since a business in a place with four distinct seasons rotates its floor as the weather turns.
The North Okanagan gives that sort of trade plenty to do. Agriculture still matters here, with dairy farms in the townships around the city and orchards on the benches above it, and the acreages filling in across the Commonage south of town arrive with their own list of jobs. Winters at this end of the valley run colder than farther down, which puts a hard edge on anything that has to start in January, and summer is dry enough that the work turns to water, dust and heat. Service before the season starts rather than during it is the advice every supplier gives and half the customers ignore.
