St. George Riders on Why They Drive to D&P

It's 52 miles from St. George to Cedar City. About 50 minutes on I-15 North. There are powersports options in Washington County — so why do riders from St. George, Hurricane, Washington, and the surrounding communities make the drive to D&P Performance?

We asked. And the answers come down to things that don't show up on a map: pricing that means what it says, a buying experience that doesn't involve pressure, a service department that actually fixes things right the first time, and a family-owned dealership where the people you deal with are the people who own the business.

Here's what St. George area riders say about why they choose D&P — and why 52 miles doesn't feel like a detour when the experience is this different.

Why the Drive Makes Sense

Before we get to the individual stories, here's the context that explains why customers from outside Cedar City make D&P their dealer of choice.

One All-In Price, No Added Fees

D&P Performance uses DSRP pricing — one number that includes everything. No documentation fees added at signing. No prep fees. No destination surcharges on top of the listed price. The number on the machine is the number on the deal. For buyers who have experienced the alternative — walking in expecting one price and walking out with a number hundreds or thousands higher — that transparency alone is worth the drive.

Family-Owned Since 1978

D&P Performance has been in the Bulloch family for 48 years. Owner Laci Bulloch is the second generation at the helm, carrying forward a family racing legacy that includes 169 wins and 21 championships. This isn't a corporate chain where the manager changes every two years and nobody remembers your name. It's a family business where the owner's reputation is on the line with every transaction.

That matters when you're spending $20,000 or $30,000 on a machine. You want to know who stands behind it — and you want them to still be there when you need service, warranty work, or your next purchase.

Factory-Trained Service

Buying a machine is one event. Maintaining it is an ongoing relationship. D&P Performance's service department is staffed by factory-trained technicians who work on Can-Am, Ski-Doo, and Lynx machines every day. They have BRP diagnostic tools, factory technical resources, and direct access to warranty support. When something goes wrong — and on any machine, eventually something will — the quality of the service department determines whether the problem is a minor inconvenience or a major headache.

Closer to the Northern Trails

For Washington County riders who trailer north to ride Cedar Mountain, Brian Head, Duck Creek, or the Paiute Trail system, Cedar City is on the way. Stopping at D&P Performance for a part, a service appointment, or even just a quick question is a natural part of the trip. The shop sits between St. George and the best mountain riding terrain in Southern Utah.

What 218+ Google Reviews Say

Individual stories are powerful, but the pattern across 218+ Google reviews tells the broader story. D&P Performance holds a 4.8-star rating — and the themes that show up again and again in reviews from all over Southern Utah include:

• No surprises on price. Reviewers consistently mention that the price they were quoted was the price they paid. No fees added at the last minute, no pressure to buy extras, no bait-and-switch between the advertised number and the paperwork number.
• Knowledgeable, not pushy. Multiple reviews note that staff answered questions honestly, recommended against unnecessary purchases, and let buyers make decisions at their own pace. That experience stands out because it's not the industry norm.
• Service that solves problems. The service department gets called out specifically in many reviews — technicians who diagnose accurately, communicate clearly, and fix things right the first time.
• People remember your name. In a family-owned shop, staff turnover is low. Customers who come back two years later deal with the same people. That continuity builds trust that corporate chain stores can't replicate.

The 52-Mile Math

Here's what the drive actually looks like from Washington County:

• From St. George: 52 miles north on I-15, approximately 50 minutes
• From Hurricane: 38 miles north on I-15, approximately 35 minutes
• From Washington: 50 miles north on I-15, approximately 48 minutes
• From Ivins / Santa Clara: 60 miles, approximately 55 minutes

For a purchase that runs $15,000 to $35,000, a 50-minute drive to get transparent pricing, a better experience, and a service department you trust for years of ownership isn't a sacrifice — it's common sense. Many of our St. George area customers tell us the savings on fees alone covered their gas for the next several years of service trips.

And if you're trailering north to ride Cedar Mountain, Brian Head, or Duck Creek — Cedar City is literally on the way. Stop in, get the service done, and keep going to the trails.
