Tim,
I wanted to take this time to let you know what an extraordinary level of customer service and support that I have received from Kelven Cockerham. Unfortunately, bad customer service in this day and age has come to be the norm and not too many letters of great customer service performance get addressed.
I brought my Sundowner trailer in just before Thanksgiving for body work or rather replacement of drop down windows and a new escape door. I was patient because I knew that the holidays meant a close down of different factories for parts, but never the less I was not quite happy with the level of service that I received prior to the time that Kelven took over. I basically had no calls from the last service tech and found myself calling the Sundowner company to see if any calls were even made.
At the first of the year, with no progress at all, I came to learn that Kelven took over from another person who left your company. I must admit there was a dramatic change of performance from the last person to Kelven that prompted me to write this. The biggest change is that he is very responsive, communicative and really a follow through person. He has handled this so well that I feel that I want to have additional work done to my trailer.
Many years ago I also had an excellent experience when purchasing my first Featherlite horse trailer from your company which I still own. I will be brining that trailer in to have some work done on it as well.
I also want you to know that I sell horse property in the Charlotte area and have had the opportunity to recommend your company to many of my friends, namely, Joel Wing, Dan Sullivan, one who has purchased a new Featherlite Living Quarters Trailer and the other who has brought in their trailer for service.
Thanks for the great job and please acknowledge Kelven for excellent work.

I can't tell you enough how I appreciate what you have done for me. I wish we were not so far apart because I would like to say Thank You in person. Don't be surprised some day to have me stop buy to see you in person. If you ever decide you would like to visit New England or for that matter any place north of you please let me know so I can adjust my schedule to show you around up here. I hope we stay in touch and maybe I will have the opportunity to return the favor. I will look forward to speaking with you again soon and thank's again,

We would like to thank Mike Stearns for a excellent job he done with the purchase of our horse trailer. It was a pleasure to work with someone that far away and everything he said was true when we arrived for pick-up. He is and outstanding young man and a pleasure to deal with.
I go out of my way to do business with GGT. This is because of integrity - integrity in products, services and customer satisfaction. Product lines are among the best in the industry. The standard of excellence in services cannot be beat; be it engineering and design of highly complex mobile units; customization to suit individual needs; on the spot cabinetry of highest quality and a vast array of maintenance capable of fixing your problems the first time courteously, prompltly at a fair price, too. --Bryan Richey ISC 10 Year Customer
I don't normally send thank you notes to businesses but I just wanted to say how impressed I was at the quality of service I received at Golden Gait. Each person that I spoke with was extremely knowledgeable and ready to help. The mechanics conducting the trailer service/checks were top notch. Also, a special thank you to Squire. He is absolutely one of the best salesman I have had the pleasure of dealing with. (I also might add that I purchased a trailer from him 9-10 years ago as well) Anyway...Thanks to all of you at Golden Gait Trailers for setting the standards in customer service. Jim
I WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP AND ASSISTANCE WITH MY NEW COACH AND DELIVERY. JOHN AND JOSH WERE THE BEST PEOPLE THAT I HAVE EVER WORKED WITH. ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING. -- STEVE AND DAWN WILLEY
To Mike Stearns Boss. I would like to Thank you . I have been working with Mike Stearns in your sales department. I will be driving 9 hrs next week to buy from you. Yes, I feel the price was a part of me willing to drive that far. BUT I have to say Mike was the most of it. Wow he really knows how to treat the customer. I know I can be a pain in the butt at times but WOW he was always NICE. Good job to Mike from this customer. I will see you next week. Thanks again. -- Tony Masitto
Squire, I just wanted to contact you to say thank you to you and to Golden Gait Trailers. My wife and I researched Featherlite stock trailers for over a month before we decided to contact your company in February. After speaking with you on several occasions we were able to secure a deal on a new 24’ stock trailer with the options we needed and wanted. We traveled over seven hours one way to come to your dealership to pick the trailer up. We were not disappointed. The service we received while we were there was great. Our local dealer could not beat your deal so we decided to make the trip. The trailer has worked out perfectly for us. Keep up the great work. The next time we are in the market for a new trailer you can be assured we will be contacting Golden Gait Trailers. -- Kelly Nickles
Dear Mr. Henderson, Please accept my sincere appreciation for your time, knowledge and wisdom last evening as my family picked up our first “real” horse trailer! This is another blessing from God that we have been given on this earth and is such a very exciting time for us all. I have to admit it makes me a little nervous, too. I also would like to apologize to you and your family for any frustration they may have felt, because it was so late on a Friday evening when you finally arrived home ---- I feel the frustration at times when my Bill often comes home very late in the evenings as well. You went above and beyond in terms of completing a sale for GGT – your facility provided customer service which I feel is lacking so much in today’s market, and that it what truly makes a difference for folks like us. I know that I may be speaking with you again, soon. Thank you, and may God bless you and your family. Sincerely, Melissa Simmons
Hello, I would just like to thank you for allowing us to use your trailer for the Concord and Kannapolis Christmas parade. Your generosity was appreciated by all and we had many comments from our church members about your organization. We do appreciate it and we all had a wonderful time riding in the parade. We did take pictures and also let everyone know which business supported us. Thank you again, and we at Crossroads/Kannapolis wish you and everyone at Golden Gait Trailers a wonderful and blessed Christmas.
God Bless,
Mike Fongemy

To Golden Gait Trailers: My wife Sue and I recently purchased a new Featherlite motorcycle trailer from Golden Gait Trailers. We are retiring December 31, 2008 and our plan is to travel the continent with our new class “B” motorhome, towing the trailer with our Yamaha Venture touring bike inside, ready for every adventure along the way.
Making a major purchase is stressful at the best of times. Making one at a long distance, sight unseen, could prove disastrous. And remember, this is our retirement dream! This certainly was not the case in our dealings with Josh Kempers. We “met” over the phone, and from the beginning, Josh gave me the feeling that not only were we buying a quality product, but that we could be confident that everything involved would be taken care of. We flew from Ottawa, Canada December 27th, picked up the motorhome at Young RV Sales on the 28th and headed for Golden Gait. We were truly impressed with the facility when we arrived and after really meeting Josh, he took us into the garage area and introduced us to our new trailer. We brought the coach in and Josh completed the setup and hookup. There was a slight problem with the wiring and in short order two servicemen had us ready to go. There was no way they were going to let us out of the shop with anything less than a perfectly operating rig.
Our experience dealing with Josh and the other staff at Golden Gait was very positive and professional and we would like to thank everyone for helping us realize our retirement dream!
Sincerely yours,
Larry Jones
Hi Michael, How wonderful to hear from you and the pictures of the Bostons are priceless. I love them. We will be coming your way on Thursday and will stop by to see you with the title you need from us. We are doing the Greenville dog shows. We have been enjoying the trailer. Doing business with you was indeed a pleasure. You are a very outstanding young man and the business is lucky to have you on their team.
See you soon, Martha, Lin, and Rascal
