Looking for a dealer to quote me for personal / POV install.

2024 Sierra 2500HD, I’m thinking:
- Whelen Core
- Handheld controller
- Inner Edge duo or trio
- 10 (?) ions duo or trio
- If I need a module to flash headlights/taillights then yes. But maybe Core can do this on its own?

I tried Safety Vehicle Solutions as I used yrs ago for Feniex, but they didn’t reply. So, I’m open to any good dealers. Appreciate the help gents! I’m just a regular (firefighter) dude paying out of pocket hence the hope for a dealer with helpful pricing. Thanks!

I'm not sure what part of NY you are in my 10-75 Emergency Vehicles is out of NJ but also has a Western NY shop. The owner, Ryan, used to be on this forum a decade ago. There is also RFC Emergency Vehicles. I think they may be western NY too. If you're on Facebook, they all have pages. If you live closer to CT, there is MHQ in Middletown, CT. Strobes N More posts POV installs all the time but they're in RI.

Thank you, I'll reach out to these. It doesn't matter how close the dealer is to my location as I'll do the upfit, just like to find pricing that doesn't decimate my bank account.

Edit: I'll probably skip Strobes-N-More. Recently two firefighters I work with shared how painful their customer service has been. While I don't anticipate problems, dealing with a big bureaucracy isn't on my bingo card of "fun" items should I (hopefully not) have that need arise.

There is also FAS (Fleet Auto Supply) out of West Haven, Ct. Very large Whelen dealer as well as a few other manufacturers.
I have dealt with him years ago and he treated me well. Very active on IG and I have always watched his work as a standard to achieve on my own installs. Everyone I have spoke to have been super happy with them and their customer service. Over 30 years of experience, so he must be doing something right with customer service.

There is also Communication Services of Connecticut out of Seymour, Ct. Long time radio installer and more and more lighting installs as of recently. Mostly Whelen but others as well.
