I talked to him very politely the first couple of minutes until he proceeded to tell me he had no time to deal with me and that he was busy with other things. I had a buddy with a similar experience. I would not recommend this place at all. Customer service is slim to none.

Contacted this company initially to get some boat repair work handled. They replaced my bilge pump…read morewith a device that "they" recommended. The pump was designed to turn on every 15 minutes to sense if any water was present, I asked if this would not cause battery issues - the marina had no power at the docs during this time. Was advised not a problem. Well, the pump didn't work, and was advised they would send someone out, asked I be advised what they found. Got a call the pump was exchanged for one that has a sensor that notices water in the bilge and turns on. Why wasn't this used at the start, thanks for your recommendation? Asked if they could check my bilge heater to make sure it was good to go before replacing it with the new one I had purchased just in case. I was advised the mechanic would call me when at the boat, I also was asked for my credit card information. No calls just a bill!! Why did I use them the second time, felt I would allow them to make things right, by the way, the "new" pump is not working, will not call these people for anything at all.

Here it's June 17 and my boat was still not ready. Paid the company in full for the work and again my boat was not complete. Powerhead was built not for sure if it is done right because now I'm having to take it somewhere else to have the work completed. This company and owner is very unprofessionally and very nasty with his customer. I recommend you take it somewhere else to get the work done no matter how far away it is, But not here.

We were planning on using it for family over Labor Day Weekend but here it is 12 November and I receive a call that the boat is ready. I drove 4 hours from my home to get it and the boat wasn't ready, the list of deficiencies weren't completed and there were beer cans in my boat. After discussing with the owner (Wayne) he became irate, threatening, and very disrespectful despite him having the original list that said everything that needed to be done. I have been in the military for 24+ years and have never been treated this rude! This business is a disgrace and should be avoided at all costs! There are several other businesses in the local area that have much better ratings! Learn from our mistakes and avoid this business!!
