★ Why Carleton for Bobcat

The Bobcat Dealer Difference

Anyone can wrench on a Bobcat — but Platinum Dealer status means we have the training, the diagnostic software, the parts, and the warranty authority that independent shops can't match.

Platinum Certified

Our technicians hold Bobcat's highest certification — thousands of hours of factory training across every product line, refreshed continuously as Bobcat releases new models and procedures.

Genuine Bobcat Parts

We stock genuine Bobcat OEM parts at all 7 Michigan locations — from common filters to complete pump assemblies. No aftermarket guessing.

Authorized Warranty

We're authorized to perform standard and extended warranty repair on your Bobcat machine — saving you the cost and hassle of finding a different dealer.

Factory Diagnostic Software

Bobcat ServiceAnalyzer access lets us read fault codes, calibrate systems, and update controller software exactly as the factory intends — not guess based on generic OBD tools.

Our fully equipped service trucks bring authorized Bobcat repair to your jobsite anywhere in Michigan — including portable line boring and on-site diagnostics.

What does "Bobcat Platinum Certified" actually mean?
Platinum is the highest tier of Bobcat dealer certification. It means our technicians complete thousands of hours of factory training across every Bobcat product line, our dealership meets Bobcat's strictest standards for facility, parts inventory, and customer service, and we have direct access to Bobcat's diagnostic software and technical support.
Will my Bobcat warranty be preserved if I service here?

Can you service my older Bobcat?
Yes. We've been Michigan's Bobcat partner since 1938 and our technicians have institutional knowledge of every Bobcat machine ever built — from decades-old skid steers to the latest R2-Series excavators. Parts availability varies for older models but we can usually source what you need.
Do you handle DPF and emissions issues on Tier 4 machines?
Yes. We're trained on Bobcat's Tier 4 emissions systems including DPF (diesel particulate filter) service, forced regeneration procedures, DEF (diesel exhaust fluid) system diagnostics, and SCR catalyst issues. We can also help you understand and clear emissions derate codes safely.

How long will my Bobcat repair take?

Do you offer Bobcat-specific PM programs?
Yes. Our Bobcat PM programs follow Bobcat's recommended service intervals by hour meter, with the right OEM filters and fluids for your specific model. Fleet customers can schedule recurring on-site PM visits with full reporting.
