They sold it in about 60 days, even had the technician ride to our house to drive it in so I didn't have to be inconvenienced and found them to be fair and honest to deal with. Barry was a pleasure to deal with and I would highly recommend them (and plan to rent from them in the future rather than own another RV). Thank you Barry!! Martha

We immediately called five star and reported the damage and they said they would note it and take care of it. We now just got our security deposit back with $250 less because of awning damage. I would rent an rv from somewhere else, Justin the service manager cursed at me on the phone and hung up after I asked him for the protocol for damage transactions. There are many different places to rent RVs from and I would highly advise that you choose a different place. This is some of the worst customer service and disrespect I have ever received.

Best yacht brokerage in Seattle? Quite possibly. Not the biggest by a long shot, but what they do,…read morethey do VERY well, and they're well worth checking out. THE ROSES: This little 'boutique' yacht brokerage located on Westlake in a 'blink-or-you'll-miss-it' location has the exclusive concession for a couple of really innovative boats. One is the Tattoo 26 (formally the MacGregor 26 powersailor), one of the most successful sailboat designs of all time, and the Razor line of upscale party boats. They also have some listings in brokerage, and I believe they will also serve as Buyer's Agents in a transaction. THE THORNS: Office is hard to find, but you'll be glad you did! WHY 5 STARS? In a word, service. BWY is owned by people who are passionate boaters whose experience is, well simply, astonishing. They are honest to a fault; they have a philosophy that emphasizes creating long-term relationships based on trust, rather than a short-term, 'just make the sale' mentality. If you're looking for yacht brokers who are 'on the level', you'll be hard-pressed to find people better than these! THE VERDICT: Want a boat? Take the time to find these guys; you'll be glad you did!

If you need a reliable company to move a 5th wheel or RV, I highly recommend B3 Transport. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again in the future!

A Fantastic Resource for Older Outboard Motors, Especially Mercury and OMC!…read more A few years ago, I purchased an older boat with a Mercury two-stroke outboard motor. The engine was generally in good condition but had plenty of deferred maintenance. I was having trouble getting the motor to perform properly at higher RPMs, and a close friend recommended Sea-Way Marine. Like many DIY boat owners, I spent plenty of time researching the problem through online forums, YouTube videos, and troubleshooting guides. I eventually traced the issue to the engine's switch boxes. After replacing them, the motor was running great again. Throughout the process, I appreciated the knowledgeable guidance and, more importantly, the availability of parts for an older Mercury outboard that many other marine shops no longer support. In addition to buying parts, I have also had Seaway provide service to my boat. Scheduling was relatively easy in communication was great as with these older boats there are sometimes mysterious causes. The load test at Seaway wasn't working at the time I needed them so there was some guessing involved, but it turned out. Over the past few years, I've ordered quite a few parts while working through various maintenance and repair projects. I've also used websites like MarineEngine.com, which offers excellent exploded diagrams and detailed parts breakdowns that make identifying exactly what you need much easier. One interesting discovery was that parts I ordered through other online retailers were actually shipping from Lynnwood, Washington, just north of Seattle! I eventually learned that Sea-Way Marine is one of the largest suppliers and stockists of older Mercury and OMC outboard parts. It's pretty impressive to have that kind of inventory and expertise right here in the Pacific Northwest. One thing worth mentioning is pricing. While Sea-Way has an incredible selection, ordering directly from them doesn't always mean getting the lowest price. On one occasion, I was placing an order directly and noticed that another online retailer was offering the exact same part for approximately 60% less. I asked Sea-Way if they could match or come close to the price, as I would have preferred to purchase directly from them. They couldn't, and actually suggested that I order through the other retailer instead. I appreciated their honesty, but it does pay to shop around, even when the parts may ultimately come from the same warehouse! My other minor complaint is their operating hours. Getting to the Lynnwood location during the workweek can be challenging, and weekend availability is limited. Fortunately, their online ordering process is straightforward, and shipping costs are very reasonable, making it easy to get what you need without driving up there. Bottom line: If you're maintaining or restoring an older Mercury or OMC outboard, Sea-Way Marine is an outstanding resource. Finding parts for engines that are 30-plus years old can be a real challenge, and having a business that specializes in keeping these motors running is invaluable. Between their extensive inventory, knowledgeable staff, and convenient shipping, they've earned my repeat business. Just compare prices before ordering! Highly recommended, and I'll definitely continue coming back!

He didnt open the control box, didnt do anything. He was very condescending in his manner, and basically told me if it was him, he would just do nothing and wait for the problem to get worse. I know is capable of oil changes stuff like that, but anything more serious you need to find a serious mechanic. And also one that wont be rude. I have never in my life had an issue with a mechanic and i am not afraid to spend money to keep my equipment maintained. This was a complete fail and I truly suggest you avoid this shop.

I would like to share my experience with this RV repair shop…read more 1. The towing system installation in 2020 In 2020, I came to this shop to have a towing system installed on my RV. I was given an estimate of around $3,000. However, when I picked up my RV, I was told that I had to pay several hundred dollars more for additional charges that had never been discussed with me beforehand. It is not about the amount of money. It is about the way the business was handled. I felt that I had been misled and treated unfairly. 2. The toilet repair More recently, we were charged over $400 to repair the toilet ball, which was not closing properly. However, when we picked up the RV, we were told that the newly repaired toilet ball still could not automatically close completely. We were told that after every flush, we would have to use our foot or hand to manually lift the pedal to make it close. Seriously? After paying more than $400 for a repair, we were told that we still had to manually operate the toilet after every flush. Considering this issue, together with the problems described below, I no longer had confidence in allowing this shop to perform additional work on our RV. I asked for a partial refund so that I could have a qualified technician properly complete the repairs, but my request was refused. 3. The additional repair work We were originally given an estimate of around $1,000 for several items. However, we were ultimately charged more than $2,500. Unfortunately, several problems remained: * The newly replaced plastic cover still had a crack. * The replacement generator control board still did not display the generator hours. * Although we were not charged for it, the water system was apparently not properly checked and returned to a usable condition. When we added water to the tank after bringing the RV home, the water immediately leaked out from underneath the RV. * We later discovered that the water tank system had not been properly set up for use. After all of these experiences, how could we possibly feel comfortable leaving our RV with this shop for additional repairs? For me, this is no longer about the money. It is about honesty, quality of workmanship, communication, and trust. I trusted this shop to properly repair and inspect our RV, but my experience left me feeling that my trust was not respected. I will not do business with this shop again.

I had a last minute RV cancellation on another service and I called NW Adventure Rentals searching…read morefor an RV I needed in less than 30 days and they pulled through for me! I couldn't easily find their address online or their website but I emailed them and received a response within a couple hours (located in Lynwood, WA). They provided the quote within minutes of a phone call I had with one of the RV owners for the 2016 Tiffin Allegro. The cost for the RV and the value of the RV was decently fair from it being 30 days out from needing it for a 3 night rental (4 days total). Although 40% of the cost were tax & fees (prep/basic protection/rental tax/sales tax). You are able to pay in two split payments with 1st being the deposit, and 2nd being 14 days away (might be different that I needed it in less than 30 days). The RV itself was awesome and very nice for 4 people and expanded in three areas (bedroom kitchen/living room). It included camping chairs, portable propane grill, dishes/utensils, pans/pots, toilet paper, paper towels, dish cloths, trash can/bags, and so much more - honestly loved that it came with so much that the cost was worth it. We didn't have to buy so many extra things at the store. We didn't use hookups at the gorge - but with the restrooms/showers/water they provide at the gorge we never ran out in the RV, it was good enough for 3 nights! Generator usage - we ran it for about a 2-4 hours a day. We did get charged for over gen usage which I was not aware they would but we were fine with the extra cost. NW does provide a "platinum package" for fuel/ cleaning/dumping/other items, they charge by square footage of the RV. You can also opt out from different services and only itemize what you couldn't do last minute. Any additional questions I had before and during renting it, they were able to answer quickly with a phone call/text which I loved! And such quick responses! Shout out to Julie who was on call and easy to text with! And Victor for going through the RV with us when we arr NW is also perfect for Gorge Amphitheatre rentals and they also provide a wide selection of RVs just for specific events at the Gorge. Overall experience as A+++++ loved everything and such a smooth experience!

We asked about availability and Diana got back to us quickly. We arranged for a "test sit" to see if I fit inside, and then took it out for a spin. Problem was, it was a bit over our budget, so we sat down with management and hashed out a deal agreeable to both parties. Recently, I took the car to our mechanic to give it the once-over, and he reported it to be in excellent condition, just as QAC had said. No issues other than what one expects from a 10-year old car, and nothing that couldn't be addressed within the next year or so. The team at QAC was extremely helpful, friendly and professional, forthright about costs and budgets, and very flexible in working with us to come to a deal. By far THE BEST car-buying experience in my 60+ years.
