Got questions about buying, servicing, or financing a powersports vehicle in Manitoba? We have got you covered. Below are answers to the most common questions we hear from customers at Borderland Powersports Thompson.
-
What brands do you carry? +
We are an authorized dealer for Polaris, Yamaha, Mercury, Lund, Equinox, Abitibi & Co, ARGO and Swamp Rider, carrying snowmobiles, boats, outboard motors, ATVs, side-by-sides and trailers. We also carry quality pre-owned units.
-
What do I need to ride a snowmobile on Manitoba trails? +
Your sled must be registered and insured with Manitoba Public Insurance, and riding the groomed trail network requires a valid Snopass from Snoman (Snowmobilers of Manitoba). Check Snoman for current trail conditions and closures before you head out.
-
Do I need a licence to drive a boat? +
Anyone operating a motorized pleasure craft in Canada needs proof of competency, such as a Pleasure Craft Operator Card, and must carry the required safety equipment on board. Transport Canada has the current rules for your boat and motor size.
-
Do you offer financing? +
Yes! We offer flexible financing options on new and pre-owned sleds, boats, motors, ATVs and side-by-sides. You can apply online or in-store, and our team will work with you to find a payment plan that fits your budget.
-
What does your service department work on? +
Our technicians service snowmobiles, ATVs, side-by-sides, outboard motors and boats — from oil changes and seasonal tune-ups to engine diagnostics, electrical troubleshooting and Polaris, Yamaha and Mercury warranty repairs. Visit our service page, or text our service team to book an appointment.
-
Should I get my outboard or sled serviced before the season? +
Yes. A pre-season service catches problems before they leave you stranded, and proper winterization or summer storage prep protects your engine while it sits. Book early — the weeks before freeze-up and break-up are our busiest.
-
Do you take trade-ins? +
Yes, we accept trade-ins on snowmobiles, boats, outboard motors, ATVs and side-by-sides. Bring your unit in or send us a message with the year, make, model and condition, and we will give you a fair trade-in value.
-
Can you order parts for other brands? +
We specialize in genuine Polaris, Yamaha and Mercury parts, and our parts department can also source aftermarket accessories and common parts for other brands. Call us or text our parts team with what you need.
-
What are your business hours and where are you located? +
We are located at 3 Nelson Road, Thompson, MB. Our hours are Mon–Fri 8:30 AM – 5:30 PM · Sat/Sun Closed. You can reach us by phone at 204-677-2952 or visit our contact page for more ways to get in touch.
