How does B T South Stand Out Against the Big Box Store?
Selection
Big box stores typically stock the 3 or 4 models in a mower brand that can best sell themselves, which usually means bottom of the line least expensive models. At B T South we typically stock around 50 unique Toro Zero Turn models.
Homeowner Grade + Professional Grade Equipment
B T South also has brands and models that you wont find in a corporate Big Box store like SCAG, STIHL, Spartan and upper end models like the TORO Z-Master, GrandStand & ProLINE. We typically display around 70 unique zero turn models in our showroom from homeowner to commercial and midgrade models between.
Proper Assembly & Condition
We sometimes skip stocking a model or two because we may not be comfortable with the engine or some other major component or feature that we've seen trouble with. But even when we have all the models the Big Box store has, which is usually the case, ours are still different. We take the time to get them setup and adjusted correctly which can be quite time consuming even to an experienced meticulous person. We also store our mowers indoors, away from the sun and rain, straight from the factory. Not on our watch will your new mower get sun fade and rust spots beginning to form.
Knowledge
With all these models to choose from, it may be helpful to have someone who can point out differences and pros & cons from one model to the next. Because we specialize in power equipment we are prepared to provide you with the information you are looking for to help you make an informed decision to meet your needs.
Support After Purchase
We not only sell these products, we service them, we carry parts, and we fulfill the manufacturer’s warranty when needed. With over a hundred of thousand dollars invested in parts on the shelf combined with skilled technicians and a knowledgeable helpful staff, we are prepared to take care of our customers. On most of the riding equipment we offer ASAPS, our priority service program which basically puts your equipment in an express line in our service department for fast turn around time. ASAPS Priority Service is available to be purchased for equipment not purchased at B T South on the same models that we offer it on in store.
Price & Finance Options
While we have more selection, expertise and service after the sale to offer, we don't ask you to pay more, you will find we have the same low prices as the the big box store. If you find an exception, we would appreciate you letting us know. We offer very competitive finance options on riding products as low as 0%. Ask us for details and current promotions.
Who We Are
We are a locally owned Christian family business with about a dozen employees, five of which are family and most of the rest have been here long enough that they feel like family. We hope to be the kind of business you want to patronize. If you value having local businesses that are there with expertise and support for the products they sell then you can help ensure that businesses like ours remain in the community by rewarding them with your business.
Who They Are
We mean no disrespect to the big box store corporations. With the hundreds of thousands of products and brands they offer from doors & windows to paint & caulk, shrubs & trees, bird feed & rat poison, to lumber & plywood, it is a marvel that they are able to do their job as well as they do. We don't claim to be any smarter than they are, but we appear to be smarter because our focus is narrower, allowing us to have a much deeper offering of products, knowledge, parts and services pertaining to power equipment.
