I called and spoke with Jeff and was impressed by his positive and can-do attitude. Even after many years in the business and probably dealing with many amateurs like me, he's positive and I didn't feel judged like I have other places in the past for not knowing too much. He's a straight shooter and deserves all the business anyone can send his way.

I brought my 2009 Sea Doo GTX in and talked with Jeff about the issues (top speed 30 MPH with high rpm) I was facing, he even helped with connecting the trailer during pickup and drop off. Jeff told me he would call me in a day or two with some news. Sure enough, I got a call the next day. Jeff explained to me patiently what he thought was the issue but that there was no guarantee it would fix my performance. He didn't try to sell me on anything, and explained what I could do, the price, and if it was needed today, next year, or in 5 years. He was very professional and accommodating, letting me have some time to think over my decision financially. Overall he got the job done and was right on the quote. Price was right and I felt good having my machine in the hands of SkeTech. Ski seems to be running better than ever before, thanks to SkeTech. I highly recommend this shop for PWC needs and even saw that the shop takes care of all the Chicago harbor rental jet ski repairs too. And those have seen some beatings. Makes me know I'm in the right place. Thanks again Jeff!

Respectful, professional, and charitable, Pinnacle as a family has been a pleasure to be apart of. All the boats are kept spotless and well maintained. The program is really put together well from the training to picking your calendar, it runs like a well oiled machine. We started on their 37ft sail boat and now moved up to bigger and better. They welcome even the most novice to the saltiest of sailors and power boaters. I highly recommend experiencing what it's like to have the feeling of owning your own boat but without the boat yard hassle and or $$$ our of your pocket.

Last summer I was leasing a 37ft sail boat and it was a blast. Learning to sail was on my bucket list and I finally did it with the help of this fine organization.

No. I don't believe those reviews reflect the experience I had…read more This isn't a place where you drop off your bike and get quick, same-day service. I brought my Ducati in for a general inspection, which cost $170. It took about 15 days and several follow-up phone calls before I finally received the diagnosis. By then, I picked up my bike after waiting two weeks. They emailed me a list of recommended repairs and instructed me to check off the work I wanted done. I replied... and then heard nothing for over two months. What really bothered me, though, was their approach to repairs. One item on the inspection was loose heated grips. Yes, they were loose, but they were still in excellent condition. Their recommendation? Replace the entire set. An honest mechanic would have said, "We can probably fix that with a $5 tube of grip glue and save you a few hundred dollars." Instead, the solution was to replace perfectly good heated grips. My Ducati is due for a Desmo service soon, which typically costs $1,200-$1,800. After this experience, I'll be taking my bike somewhere else.

They provided all the equipment: lifejacket, oar, and kayak. I recommend water shoes just because Im not a huge fan of sand or rocks in between my toes. The fabulous trip leader gave us some instruction/safety and then we were off and paddling--ok maybe not at first :) The staff was so patient and nice---especially because I felt like the first half of the trip I definitely needed special attention--since we were veering in the opposite direction of the group---geesh who would've thought it would be so difficult to turn or keep going straight--but with the proper instruction and a little special ed tugging from one of the trip leaders---we were on our way to cruising on lake michigan. Being that this was my first time and I didn't fall out or become traumatized--I definitley will be doing this again.

The instructors were very nice, the group was fun, & it was easier than I expected (laregly thanks to the calm waters). I would do it again in a heartbeat, and I would definitely recommend going here, in particular if you haven't been before. I would really like to do it again. The one improvement they can make is to ensure they explain how position your legs and help you adjust the seats & foot rest inside the kayak prior to getting in their own kayaks. We all got in our kayaks & the guides got in theirs, but some of the other kayakers weren't able to adjust the foot rest or seat. We asked for assistance and they readily helped, but if you aren't aware there's a problem till you're on the water it would be too late. It would be nice if they checked to make sure everyone was properly set up & positioned before take off and without us having to speak up.
