I know this is going to be a strange review. Certainly the best review I have written for no…read moreservice received yet!! My Pontoon had been sitting out exposed to the elements and was a pretty bad shape. Top Knotch Boat Repair and Alice were extremely responsive and very helpful in getting me quote and scheduling a cleaning appointment for me. I ultimately decided to refurbish the carpet and seats etc so did not need the service just yet. Easy to cancel and reschedule for next year. Just nice people to work with. A local small business worth the wait and patronage. Hope to repeat the review in a years time. Thanks, Alice and TKBR!!

He asked me what was wrong with my boat and when I finished telling him what it was doing, he told me what he thought was wrong with it and how I could fix it.

I will definitely use Boat Repair Plus in the future and highly recommend them. They exceeded my expectations. Thanks for your help...Mark Wellden

He could have easily parlayed my interest in the boat into significant rehab work for himself, but he didn't. Instead, he acted as an honest, impartial consultant on the pros and cons of the boat and helped me to make a rational decision. I would highly recommend Brad at Workhorse Marine to any one in the area.

My husband and I are new to boat ownership and traveled from Annapolis, MD to purchase this boat. Brad was very patient with us, and helped to make every step of the purchasing process easy. I particularly appreciated the fact that upon discovering specific issues with the boat, he provided us with various options at various price points that would fit our budget instead of automatically pushing us into the most costly option to repair with whatever the issue was. It's extremely difficult to find an honest boat mechanic that performs excellent work at fair price points. I have and will continue to recommend Brad at workhorse to anyone I know looking for a solid mechanic and a really good guy to work with!

The whole experience from beginning to end was great. Highly recommend. Tina Marie We purchased our pontoon from Foothills Marie of Lake Norman and could not be more pleased with the outstanding service and value in all departments. My wife and I visited several boat dealers in the Lake Norman area and settled here at Foothill Marine. We were greeted by a pleasant attentive staff and a very clean show room. My wife and I would like to thank ED in sales who took great care of us right from the start. Ed is extremely knowledgeable in explaining all of the differences of several models and layouts. He made sure that all of our questions were answered. Foothills Hills Marie has a wide selection of boats to choose from and made our experience a pleasure, no pushy sales pitches whatsoever. They delivered our pontoon in perfect order as promised. ED went over the entire pontoon prior to us heading out. We had a GPS/fishfinder installed as well as the second battery prior to pickup. The install was done professionally on both units and delivered on time. Ed did a fantastic job keeping us up-to-date on the delivery and made sure everything was going smoothly as promised. He checked in on us on us after the sale as well to make sure we are 100% satisfied and to see if we needed anything. We would also like to thank Danya in the finance department who made our purchase go very smoothly and had all of our documents in order and ready to go right on time as well. We were then greeted by Josh who thanked us for our business at foothills Marine and discussed the proper break in procedures and answered any questions or concerns we had. Josh put us on the water and made sure everything on board was working as it should. He verified the Coast Guard package that was included on board and took us out to get comfortable with our new pontoon. Foothills Marine is a class act. We couldn't be happier with The professionalism, honesty and all-around good nature working with the Marine dealer who truly enjoys what they do and do it very well.

They will take great care of you. Dan
