STAY AWAY! Do not go to Approval thinking you are going to buy the used motorcycle you saw online or for finance. Just like so many reviewers the bike we saw online was not there. My son had been talking to "Donny" about a used 2003 motorcycle, I was with my son when he made the calls. My son knew he could only afford a 2003-2009. He called Donny the day before we were going to drive 2 hours to...

I was looking at 4 bikes online. I did the phone calls and txts with employment info. The sales man said "You're good to go.. all you need to do is come in and get the bike you want" So I called my cousin who was co-signing for me to dive 3 hours to meet me there. I call approval and asked if the bikes I was looking at was still available. The girl on the phone said "YES" when I got there 1...

So I'll start things off by saying this there online website is a complete scam. Every complete motorcycle listed at $4400.00 and below does not exist they aren't there. I just recently went in to purchase a motorcycle they have had listed for months and coincidently it was sold yesterday or so I was told. I began by applying for a loan and was told I needed a co signer. I got a co signer and I...

The staff there were patient and worked diligently to make sure I left with the bike I wanted. Chad and Andrew worked their magic with financing to come up with a plan that worked for me as well. They understood I drove 180 miles one way to stop in so they didn't want me leaving empty handed. Great staff and great bikes all around. I would highly recommend anyone going through Approval...

I would highly recommend Approval Powersports to anyone looking for a bike. I don't have the best credit and was afraid trying to get my dream bike would never happen. I drove over 400 miles one way up to take a shot. The staff here are amazing. Chad and Andrew worked for several hours with the banks and was finally able to secure me a loan for my bike. The terms were fantastic. Their staff...

This review is for Ron Quinkert. This is who I worked with from start to finish. Originally last Friday I came in there with doubts I'd get approved. Ron did what he could and got me approved for a 2016 R6 for pretty cheap payments. He even got me the hookup with a nice pair of riding gloves, kept the shop open 2 hours after closing to wait for me to come and sign on the bike, and THAT night...

This place gets a no star rating, that how bad it is. First they lied about there online bike inventory, what they have online is not in there store. Do not give them any type of deposit, NO REFUNDS. When I finally found the bike I wanted, they added on $2000 in fees after they got my deposit. I ended up getting the same bike with less miles for $1500 less minus the $2000 in fees. They were...

Everyone was great and treated us well.

Tons of used vehicles of choose from. Good financing. Smooth transaction

Filed bankruptcy four months ago and you guys got me on the bike I wanted. Thanks

Very happy with service. Great salesman, not pushy.

I can't say enough good words about approval power sports. They got me approved for a brand new r6 which is an awesome bike when two banks already turned me down. Personally I will probably buy my future motorcycle's there also. They have…

Chad did a wonderful job getting Terry on a bike. Very cool. Thanks.

This was first motorcycle purchase, I am very pleased with it. I also can say that the staff at APPROVAL POWERSPORTS is very helpful. I drove 2 hours from Detroit & I'm glad that I did!! Thanks to Gerry & all the staff at APPROVAL. I've been getting compliments on the bike where ever I go ! ! ! :-)

A late night in October 2009 I found the car of my dreams at Approval Power Sports website. It was a Buick Electra Landau Coupe. There was many nice photos in internet, and after some days I received more. With no experience of import of cars, I decided from the photos I had seen to buy the car After 2 month the car was in my garage in Sweden. The car was in the same nice condition as the description told me.. I really like to thank the company, and send all my best greetings from Sweden.

October 5th I went to look at a 1996 Honda CBR 1000 that was listed in perfect mechanical condition. I went for a fifteen mile test drive and things appeared to be good. Ron was very helpful in getting some bolts that were missing replaced. I got the bike home and discovered that it was not charging the battery. Ron told me to take it to my dealer to see what was wrong. Ron and Gordy both did a great job in working with me to get the problem solved. The bike was done around Nov the 3rd, I have now 650 miles on it and look forward to many more. A huge thank you to Ron and Gordy for going the...

I filled out the finance application over the internet, and only an hour later they called me. Marvin was very nice, and answered any questions I had. I drove to Sandusky, and within an hour, I was loading my new YAMAHA R6!!!!!!! Thank you Marvin for getting everything done, and thank you Approval PowerSports. Everyone is sooo nice there!

I was looking around for some time wanting to buy a sazuki katana, i found one at approval motorsports for a price i just couldn't say no to. in addition to being very knowledgeable and friendly, the sales associates were a pleasure to do business with. Not only did i find and buy the bike I've been wanting but i plan on going back to approval for all my motorcycle needs and will refer my family and friends to them also. The service was phenomenal and as well as giving me a great deal they customized my bike to my liking... thanks

Editorial review from Citysearch

Jim and Gordy were awesome in taking care of me. Jim picked me up from Detroit's main airport and brought me 2 hours to the shop so that I could check out the bike. After I saw the bike, Jim brought me back another 2 hrs to my hotel and still kept insisting to do whatever I needed, rather than just dropping me off to fend for myself. Of course, I bought the bike because it was exactly what they said it was. These guys put great emphasis on service. Good luck to to my new friends. Good people and good service do exist, you just have to travel to Sandusky to find it. I couldn't be happier...

Editorial review from Citysearch

My experience here was unparalleled! The YouTube video displayed the bike as it arrived here - in extremely good shape for an '89. For not having the bike inspected and depending on other purchasers recommendations, I am completely and utterly satisfied with my purchase! For me, AP walked the walk and talked the talk. I WOULD buy from them again in a heartbeat.

It's going on day 5 now waiting to "hear from the bank". I have had to call them everyday because they don't know how to call people back. They are trying to get me into a 2001 r6 with 12k miles. A bike that old they should pay me to take it off their hands. There bikes are over priced. I suggest wait until you get your tax return and look at craigslist. I'm just going to do that at least then...

I just got finished talking to Ashly on the phone about a ZX10. I already told him that I am in Kansas and can't make the drive to Michigan to sign any paperwork.

Ashly then asks why do I need those for. Right...

They cheat customers, lie, and seemd like they went out of their way to make my experience a poor one. All is good until they get your money then its a different game. Do yourself a favor and find someplace, anyplace else to shop, they are not good people and I can't believe they are still in business. I suspect they will not be there much longer.
