At a Glance
Ed Babbitt opened a small dealership in Muskegon, Michigan in 1965. He was a hard working farm boy that had a desire to go fast; in turn, led to the beginning sales of snowmobiles and racing of course. Ed soon out grew his small business and moved down the road to a better location with a larger building, where we are still located after numerous additions and adjacent property acquisitions.
I shouldve researched them a little better before ordering, and dug deeper on their return policy. They have a rectifier that according to their website is compatible with my atv, and checked return policy and in the return policy it says as long as its not used it can be returned. Upon receiving the incorrect part for my atv, I filed for a return, but deeper down in the smaller print, it says electrical and fiberglass parts are returnable. Why would that be? Does shipping it interfere with its performance, if so, why ship it to me. I believe they purposely have parts listed properly and make it unreturnable to con customers into buying stuff and having them sruck with it. Ill make sure to use a more reputable supplier next time.
I had a terrible experience with Babbitt’s and would NOT recommend doing business with them. I ordered a part back in May that was on backorder. Six months later—yes, six months—the part finally shipped. By that point, I no longer needed it, so I reached out immediately to return it. Their response? I could return it ONLY for store credit, even though the extreme shipping delay was entirely on their end. I asked for a reasonable exception due to the circumstances, and they flat-out refused offering me store credit. Any reputable company would take responsibility for a half-year delay and issue a refund, but Babbitt’s refused to work with me in any way. This kind of customer service is unacceptable, and I won’t be ordering from them again. Save yourself the headache—shop somewhere that actually values its customers.
Babbitts is the worst place i have ever delt with.. i WAS a customer since 1982 & bought many bikes from them.. Their add said free oil change even if u didnt buy the bike there.. i didnt have the add with me & was accused of lieing about the add !!!!! I have PTSD from previous cycle crash cuz the frame broke on a bike i bought from them new in 2015... They knew i had PTSD cuz ive had my service dog in there & talked to employees about why i have him...So they harrassed a disabled senior & yes i yelled back.. i will take them to court & i have the whole thing on my body cam !! I was riding my bike that day & i always wear my body cam while riding a motorcycle... They will deleat this like they did my last message...
Just got a new quad there last weekend. Great OTD price and an amazingly helpful staff. Not pushy but there when you need them 100%.
Hey! I brought my boat here because no one else could diagnose it. They tested it and diagnosed, and the boat is fixed! They were very professional and effective. So glad I brought it to them, I highly recommend. Particularly impressed with Antonio Mendoza, he was great to work with as a service advisor. Communication was on point and I’m back on the water! Thanks Babbitt’s!

Snowmobile Buyer's Guide – Babbitt's Sports Center
Buying a snowmobile from Babbitt's Sports Center in Muskegon, Michigan? Use this checklist to avoid costly surprises.
- 1
Inspect the track and slides
Lay the sled on its side and check the track for cracks, missing lugs, or cuts. Pull the track away from the slides and check for wear groove depth — worn slides increase drive noise and reduce efficiency.
- 2
Check the hood and tunnel for damage
Cracks in the hood or tunnel can signal a past crash. Look for mismatched or faded plastic, which often means replacement panels were installed after damage.
- 3
Inspect the carbides and skis
Carbide runners on the ski underside provide steering. Worn carbides (less than 3/16" remaining) reduce handling on packed snow. Ski replacement is inexpensive, but factor it into your offer.
- 4
Check coolant and oil
Pull the coolant reservoir cap and oil tank dipstick. Milky coolant signals water contamination. Low or dirty oil signals deferred maintenance. Ask ${dealerName} for service records.
- 5
Ask about storage and season history
A properly stored snowmobile — fuel stabilized, fogged engine, battery maintained — will start and run far better than one that sat neglected. Ask Babbitt's Sports Center about the unit's storage and riding history.
How to Finance a Snowmobile at Babbitt's Sports Center
