Locate a Dealer

The EBMS dealer locator allows dealer information to be displayed on the website. The customer can enter a Zip Code on the website and the nearest dealers will be displayed. This feature is often used when a company does not sell retail on their own website and wishes to refer customers to their preferred wholesalers or dealers.

Locator Results

The locator will find the closest 3 dealers. This distance is approximated by miles that a crow flies from the zip code entered.

The results will then list the Distance, Dealer Name, Address, Phone Number, Email, Website, and a Get Directions link. An advanced option allows results to also show a list of standard services or products offered for each dealer.
