Is It Worth Driving From St. George to Cedar City to Buy a Can-Am?

If you live in St. George, Hurricane, Washington, or anywhere in Washington County and you're shopping for a Can-Am, you've probably noticed something: there's no shortage of options, but the experience varies wildly depending on where you buy.

D&P Performance is in Cedar City — 50 minutes north on I-15. That's 52 miles of straight interstate, no mountain passes, and minimal traffic. Is it worth the drive? Riders from Washington County have been making it for decades, and the reasons are consistent: one all-in price with no added fees, a service department built by riders for riders, and a family-owned business that's been doing this since 1978.

Here's what makes D&P different, and how to make the trip count in a single visit.

The Pricing Difference: DSRP With No Added Fees

Here's the part that gets riders into the truck for the drive north: at D&P Performance, the DSRP is the price.

DSRP — Dealer Suggested Retail Price — is the number you see on our website and on every machine on the floor. That's the number you pay. There are no added dealer prep fees, no documentation fees, no destination surcharges, and no line items that appear for the first time when you sit down to sign paperwork. The only additions are tax, title, and registration — the same costs you'd pay anywhere.

This matters because the gap between an advertised MSRP and a final out-the-door number can be significant. Dealer fees, prep charges, and various surcharges can add $500 to $2,000 or more to the final price. When you're comparing prices between dealerships, you're not comparing anything useful until you're comparing out-the-door numbers. And when one dealer gives you a single all-in price upfront, that comparison gets easy.

If you want an out-the-door price before you drive up, call us at (435) 586-5172 or text. We'll give you a number. If you have a trade, we'll give you that number too. You'll know the full picture before you leave your driveway.

A Service Department Riders Drive To

Buying a UTV is a one-time transaction. Servicing it is a multi-year relationship. Where you buy matters for the first day; where you get service matters for the next five years.

D&P Performance has factory-trained technicians who work on Can-Am machines every day. They have BRP diagnostic software (BUDS2), OEM parts in stock, and the institutional knowledge that comes from 48 years of keeping Southern Utah riding. The Bulloch family's racing legacy — 169 wins and 21 championships — wasn't built on guesswork, and that mechanical expertise runs through the entire shop.

Washington County riders who buy from D&P come back for service because the quality is worth the drive. Our service department is booked weeks out for a reason — the work is done right, with factory parts, by technicians who specialize in these machines.

That said, we know 50 minutes is a drive for routine maintenance. For major service, warranty work, diagnostics, and anything that requires BRP-specific tooling or software, the drive makes sense every time. For oil changes and basic maintenance, some owners handle that locally and come to us for the work that requires factory expertise.

Why Cedar City Instead of Somewhere Closer

We won't pretend geography doesn't matter. If you're in St. George, a dealer in town is closer. That's a fact. But here's what riders from Washington County consistently tell us about why they chose D&P:

• Transparent pricing. One all-in price, no negotiation games, no surprise fees. You know the number before you visit.
• Family-owned accountability. D&P isn't a corporate chain. The Bulloch family has been in Cedar City since 1978. When Laci Bulloch says the price is the price, that's the price. There's no regional manager overriding the deal, no corporate policy adding mandatory fees, and no revolving door of salespeople who won't be there next month.
• Proximity to trails. Cedar City sits at the base of Brian Head and Cedar Mountain, with direct access to Duck Creek, the Paiute Trail, and some of the best alpine UTV riding in the state. If you're buying a new Can-Am and want to ride it home the long way, Cedar City is the starting line for hundreds of miles of trail that St. George can't match. More on that in our Southern Utah trail guide.
• No pressure. We don't do high-pressure sales tactics. We don't have a "closer" who comes in when you hesitate. We show you the machine, answer your questions, give you a price, and let you decide. If you need to think about it, think about it. The price will be the same when you come back.

How to Make One Trip Count

If you're driving from St. George or anywhere in Washington County, you want to make the trip efficient. Here's how to handle everything in a single visit:

Before You Leave

1. Pre-qualify for financing. Use PreQualFlex to check your financing options online with no credit impact. Knowing your budget before you arrive means you can focus on choosing the right machine instead of waiting for approvals.
2. Call ahead for pricing and availability. Call (435) 586-5172 and ask about the specific model you're interested in. We'll tell you if it's in stock, give you the out-the-door price, and let you know about any current promotions. No surprises when you get here.
3. Send trade-in photos ahead of time. If you're bringing a trade-in, text or email us photos and details (year, model, mileage/hours, condition, any modifications) before your visit. We can give you a preliminary trade-in value so you know the numbers before you make the drive.
4. Bring your trailer. If you're buying, you'll want to take your new machine home. Bring a trailer rated for the machine's weight. If you're trading in, you can ride or tow your trade to the dealership and load your new Can-Am for the drive home.
5. Bring your documents. Driver's license, proof of insurance, and the title for any trade-in. Having everything ready means the paperwork goes quickly.

When You Arrive

D&P Performance is at 110 E Center St, Cedar City, UT 84720 — right off I-15 at exit 59. The dealership is open Monday through Friday 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM and Saturday 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. If you're driving up from St. George, mid-morning on a weekday tends to be the least busy time.

[Confirm with D&P whether delivery to Washington County is available as an alternative to towing. Call (435) 586-5172 to ask about delivery options and fees.]

New or Used — Same Approach

Everything above applies whether you're buying new or used. D&P carries pre-owned Can-Am models alongside new inventory, and every used machine goes through the same multi-point inspection by factory-trained technicians. The DSRP pricing model applies to new inventory; used machines are priced individually based on condition, and the price you see is still the price you pay.

Financing, trade-in credit, and the Utah trade-in tax savings all apply to used purchases as well.

The Drive Is the Easy Part

Fifty minutes on I-15 isn't far — especially when you know what's waiting at the other end. No games, no surprise fees, no pressure. Just an all-in price from a family-owned dealership that's been earning trust in Southern Utah for 48 years.
