    My Father and I have been bringing our 96' Four Winns ski boat to Brett for the past 2-3 years and…read morehe's done outstanding work. He is extremely knowledgeable and actually takes the time to explain what he has to do and what caused the problem in the first place. It's hard to find someone who will shoot it straight and has integrity, but I can certainly attest that Brett is that guy ! We will continue working with him as time moves forward, I highly recommend taking your boat to him if you have issues, he will get it done right and not overcharge. Thanks for everything Brett.

    Purchased a boat in march and took it to canyon lake only to find it had major issues. Called…read morenumerous shops in the valley which were all booked through June. Spoke with Brett of CP Marine and he stated we could drop it off and he would get to it in a timely fashion. The repair facility is super nice and Brett is straight forward and honest about what needs to be done to get your boat back in the water.. As most people don't understand it's not cheap to own a boat and maintenance is the key to problem free weekends. His mechanic Jamie was friendly and very knowledgeable on the possibilities of the problem. All in All, we live 2 hours outside phx and I will be giving him my business on both our boats. Don't waste time with happy go lucky shops that try to make you feel good. Go to CP Marine because they get sh--t done and stand by their reputation. Thx again Brett and Jamie!!

    Called and received a call back later in the day. Received a quote and Ray did a great job…read moreexplaining what the process was. I appreciated the quote and he kept me up to date on the timeline for his visit. We highly recommend Ray for RV services as we just purchased as 2026 Brinkley, that needed a vent hole put in! Excellent service and fair price!

    I'd stay away from Primitive RV/Marine in 2023. here's my experience:…read more 14Feb requested an inspection quote for my 2017 MicroMinnie here on Yelp, declined the $499 plus $125 for 132-point inspection, Agreed to $350 for two hours of inspection notes from Ray. 07Mar appointment was at 10:00am, and when I arrived, the receptionist/desk guy did not know what type of RV I had, or what my appointment was for. Resolved the issue talking to the actual technicians and got some good info. Left travel trailer there and was told by the end of the week (4 business days) I would get inspected and then get the results that following Monday. 11Mar nothing heard all week, so I messaged on Yelp asking for an update. Was told Monday I'd get a call with info. 14Mar messaged again saying I hadn't heard back Monday or Tuesday. Was told there was a delay for pricing some parts and many employees didn't come to work. Will get the inspection report ASAP. "this isn't our usual experience, apologies" 15Mar again was told I would get the info by the end of the day. 16Mar I messaged again, asking what was going on. Was told the next morning my RV would be the first priority. 17Mar got a voicemail about the results, and 11:35am got a DocuSign via email with a $3,500 Work Order request. I chose to pick-up Monday morning to get another quote from another technician, since my travel trailer is a 2017 and only has 8,000 miles, mostly stored in the shade by an older couple before i bought it. 18Mar I asked if 11am was less chaotic for pick-up on Monday, but I never got a text back. 20Mar asked Monday at 10:00am again if 11:00am would work. Picked-up trailer and after my credit card was charged, it was $364 instead of the agreed no-tax $350. it truly was the icing on the cake; getting charged a fee (credit card fee? not sure, since it was never brought-up, and i later saw it on the receipt). Ray/Timothy at the end of all of this did not even offer to help me exit the packed parking area, unsurprisingly. He just acted like this was how it was, industry-wide. Because of all the clusterf***, I asked for a discount on the bad experience, and Ray/Timothy said it wasn't possible and made many excuses. I mentioned that competitor Top Notch RV does a complimentary lube while the wheels/hubs are already off: "a pre trip inspection is $278. That's 2 hours for me to go over your entire electrical system, appliances, plumbing, perform a gas leak test, roof inspection and do a general once over of your entire trailer. If you would like your bearings re-packed and brakes cleaned and adjusted which I highly recommend being done every year especially if you're going on a big trip it's $350" Primitive could easily clean/pack the bearings and clean/adjust the brakes while the hubs are off during the inspection, but i'm not sure even the $500 "Full Inspection" includes this. Mostly, I feel taken advantage of because I was super lenient and accommodating, but basically I paid $364 for my camper to be gone for almost 2 weeks, and for the techs to tell me that the tires and brakes are totally bad and unsafe. I took the camper to my local tire shop (Ron's in Tempe AZ) and they had the bearings and brakes cleaned/adjusted/lubed within a day for $250 total, and said the date of the tires and brakes isn't the only metric for safety (my tires aren't dry-rotted at all, but Primitive wanted to charge me for 4 new tires and 4 new brake hubs with parts costs double of what their competitor Top Notch quoted me. Also of note, Primitive RV doesn't have any certified/master RVIA/etc. technicians. Ray/Timothy claimed this was because people who are certified inspectors can't do the actual repairs after an inspection. This seems strange, since all the other companies around Phoenix quoted me for both inspections and repairs. I think he was trying to use some word trickery about when using RV comprehensive insurance, but I wasn't using insurance. 2/5 stars, would not do business with them again. I'll be leaving this review on other sites as well, which I rarely do (want to prevent other people from getting poor customer service and wasted time). Super let-down. I blocked Ray/Timothy here on Yelp, but I'm sure he/Primitive will post the usual excuses below this when my review hits. My guess is there will be something about being "a little confused" about my bad review, since I declined the full inspection (this is irrelevant to my argument about customer service and fraudulent attempts to fleece me out of new brakes and tires for no reason). He'll probably claim the tires are from 2015 and the brakes are from 2016, which according to some publication are 'unsafe' (yet my local shop said there's no dry-rot and they are fine for another year with tons of tread/pads). I'm sure he'll claim they went "above and beyond" to make sure I got what I needed, and they gave me lots of good info (this is also irrelevant to my complaints of double-priced parts and 13 days).

    In short this boat shop does business in a very un-ethical way…read more I took my boat to them with many concerns, Mainly the boat proposing and electrical. (Note they only take cash or check, and do not take credit cards because people challenge it, which makes sense because they tell you one price and charge you thousands more.) Dana the owner walked the boat with me, seemed very knowledgeable explaining the order of repair we needed to do. ( Mechanical, Electrical, structural, then cosmetic) my boat is an older bay liner (1988), all that made sense. He quoted me $1,500.00, to do a yearly maintenance and swap out the prop and change the hub to the new square style. He said he will be in touch to give me a quote to get the Mechanical and electrical dialed in and to see if it's even a project worth doing. I get a call on speaker phone with him and his son about a week later, about how the work is coming along and they have installed a new Binnacle, gages, done wiring, and was asking for me to come down to put a deposit. Being I was confused I told them I would be down the next day so they could walk me through what was going on. (I had not given permission to do any of this work they were talking about) I met with Andy the following day, where he walked me through all the work they had done. I asked him all this work was included in the $1500.00? Long story short, He apologized acknowledging he should have called and there was a miss communication, that the boat was mechanicalyy sound, and they believed that it was good to start all the work. He was about 80% threw all the work and assured me all the mechanical work and parts were good they were waiting on the prop, and they were going to finish going threw all the electrical and if there was any further problems he would call me if they needed to do more work. The estimated total was $4,200.00. He acknowledged that I was up set that they did $2,700.00 worth of work with OUT approval, and apologized multiple times. At this point I felt it was a sincere mistake, Andy said the boat would be ready for pick up the next Monday, and he would call if any thing changed. I show up to pick up the boat, going threw it with Dana and another tech, the boat still didn't have the new prop on it, on top of that it would die when the trim was actuated (they said the new Pinical was wired in wrong) and they would need to look at it. When I went in to pay the front desk didn't have the paper work, and said it would take some time to get the paper work together. I told them I couldn't wait / come back later. That I would have to pic up the next Monday. The front desk lady emailed me the final bill and it was now $5,400.00. I called her and asked her to speak with Dana and Andy to make sure there wasn't a mistake, she said she would and get back to me. (She never did) When I showed up on Monday to pick up the boat, work was completed new prop was installed and I will say the boat ran well. The bill was the same, so I asked Dana why it was $1,200.00 dollars more than a week ago, so we went through the bill. He pointed out that things were added like a key switch and blower motors and a host of other things that were not in the second estimate of cost, and stated they tried to get it close. I explained that's not close, and that I have been very nice and understanding, but I never approved this extra work, nor did I approve the first bout of extra work. That in fact I only approved the yearly maintenance and a new prop with the new style hub. It was my hope being a business owner he would do the right thing and at the very least honor the $4,200.00. estimate since I was for a second time not notified of additional work. He refused, explaining to me "this is how its done" that additional things pop up when fixing older boats that need a lot of work, "its takes too long to call for every thing". I may be wrong, but in 18 years as an automotive mechanic, Ive never done work that wasn't approved. In my personal opinion if work is done that wasn't approved, or worked outside of the budget, the business is taking on the cost at that point. I want to be clear in this review, I am not up set with the work that was done, or the cost of the work that was done. I am up set that at no point was I called, at no point did I approve or say yes to any of the work done out side of the Maintenance, Prop and hub replacement. The sheer audacity to think it's ok, to perform over $4,000.00 worth of work with out asking, and expecting some one to be ok with it and pay that is ridiculous, and un-ethical. Beware that when you go there not only do you have to pay cash / check, you may get charged for work you never approved. It's a slimy way of doing business, I would recommend every one take their business elsewhere, to a shop that has some ethical business practice. I will be contacting the BBB, FTC, and the Arizona Attorney General reporting for unfair business practices and possible stolen

    these guys are starting to feel like family. Dana and his whole crew are extremely professional,…read morerespectful, and will go out of their way to satisfy your boating needs! whether you're a DIY guy like me, or need a shop to tackle a project for you- you can always count on Bodnar to get it done right! couldn't thank Dana and his team enough. ps: I'll see ya'll later today when I come by for more stuff!
