When Brent S., entered Blackfoot Motosports, his local Yamaha dealer in Calgary, to claim his $500 gift certificate he didn’t know he’d be leaving with much more than that!
Brent was welcomed by dealership staff and brought to an office, where he was greeted via video call by Sam Calautti, National Field Sales Manager for Yamaha Financial Services. Sam surprised Brent with the exciting news that he was this year’s winner of the Win Your Yamaha contest!

Customers who financed a new Yamaha product with Yamaha Financial Services between January 1, 2022, and May 31, 2022, were automatically entered in a draw to win the value of their purchase (up to $25,000). But that wasn’t all Brent walked away with.

Brent took home a Yamaha Music sound bar, a Yamalube oil change kit and some Yamaha swag as well!
“I would totally recommend Yamaha Financial Service to anyone,” Brent said.
