BUS COMPANIES:

"I do want to thank you for all the help you have given me since I bought the bus, as far as to my thinking you have gone above just selling a bus to me. As long as I am in the bus business, you will always be recommended by me to any bus buyer's in the future. Thanks Roger "

Roger Kelley, President, Paladin Have Bus Will Travel, LLC

"I have known the Michaud family for many years. When I was ready to purchase a motorcoach I knew just where to go. Jim & Spike have always been very helpful before and after the sale, without any hesitation. It has been a year since we at Able Coach Co., Inc. purchased Our first coach (July 2002) and now we have two. They are truly two remarkable people. When the time comes for coach number three, you can bet we are going to see MICHAUD BUS SALES . Thanks guys !!!! "

Maryann Garnham, Vice President, Able Coach Co., Inc.

"The people at Michaud Bus Sales, Inc. DEFINE customer service. They were a great help, both before and after the sale. Their assistance in identifying and solving problems with our bus (both in their shop, and over the phone) has proven invaluable. They have a complete knowledge of not only the mechanics of our bus, but are tied into a network of people that are qualified to service all parts of our bus. There isn't a bus garage I've been in where people didn't both know and respect the Michaud family. I wouldn't dream of buying a bus from anyone else. "

Dan Greer, President, Boston Crusaders Drum and Bugle Corps

"Michaud Bus Sales, Inc. is a great organization and we are very pleased with their straight forwardness. It is one of the few bus sales companies which I feel will give a straight answer and a fair price. It's great to know that when someone says the bus has been checked out, that it actually has. It's also handy to know about any potential problem areas, as well as the positive aspects of a vehicle. Thank you for your complete representation of what you sell. We will be doing business again in the future. "

Brian Stevens, Vice President, Point Tours

CONVERSIONS:

"Dear Jim and Spike. Thank you so much for making our coach purchase painless. Seldom is it a pleasure to spend money, and seldom have I had such confidence in making a large purchase. Straightforward, direct answers in our phone calls, and your request that I fly in to physically inspect the coach before purchasing, inspire that confidence. Your help in making repairs/modifications, and even in researching registration and border-crossing issues is especially appreciated - especially in light of the relatively low price of the coach."

Arthur N. Gaudet, Carrollton, Texas

"I want to thank you for the sale of my converted coach. Your presentation of my coach on your Web site was impressive. Your ability to find a buyer quickly was very appreciated. I was also delighted that you were able to find just the right buyer for my coach."

Larry Plachno, Editor, National Bus Trader magazine

"Thanks for all your help in the purchase of our new bus! Although it was a long, cold, wintery journey...we have made it home safely without any problems. The bus runs great and it is exactly what you said it would be...and more! Thanks again and God bless you! "

Floyd Scott, Hearts of Grace Music

"Thank you for for the professional handling of the (2000 Marathon Conversion) on behalf of Reliance Insurance. This was a specialized bus and I am confident the reason the bus moved as quickly as it did was due to the accessibility of the bus information on your website. I appreciate all of your assistance in expediting this difficult sale. I am confident that utilizing your company, and the access you provided to prospective buyers through the Internet, helped Reliance realize an increased recovery on this loss over conventional sales. As you are aware, I initially came in contact with Michaud Bus Sales, Inc. through your website, which is easy to navigate and well done. "

Karen L. Wilmarth, Claim Account Specialist, Reliance Insurance Co.

"Our bus conversion is now completed and Luci and I are looking forward to our travels around this great country. We wish to thank you and Spike for your help in choosing the right coach that would fit our needs and at a great price. Your combined years in the bus business and the time spent with us helped us with this decision. This being one year after purchasing the bus, and in need of an appraisal for insurance, we we're sure that you would be there to help us once again. Thanks for the quick service as we are planning to have it on the road next week. "

Jon Lang, Owner/operator, The Woodlands
