Beware of this shop, I had him do an insurance bid on repairs for my Patio Boat at the tune of $6,000 which he jacked up beyond what it would have really cost. He got the check and my boat, said that he needed to order parts from Suntracker and needed to cash the check because he had to send money up front for the new panels. So stupid me I trusted him.
He took the money, had the boat for 6 months, kept saying parts were backordered, then told me the wrong item was sent, didn't return phone call, only way to catch him was to go the shop or catch him answering the phone, then he would be full of excuses or lies. Finally I started tracking down his lies by calling the places he said he was using. Suntracker first told me they don't make panels for the year of my boat, I would have to get them custom made. I asked him who he was talking to at suntracker and he would not tell me. Then I was getting some bimini work done with the insurance money and he kept telling me he talked with the bimini guy and everything was set, I talked with the bimini guy and he said Marine Masters hadn't talked to him.
When he was suppose to be fixing my boat, he owned Redding Boat works, during that time he lost the business and re-opened as Marine Masters under his wifes name. I finally had to go to redding, personally talk to the bimini guy and get a bid for the work, and have it towed there, Aaron was suppose to tow it back to his shop, pay for the bimini work and finish painting the panel, fixing side panels and re-pinstriping the whole boat, I called him 4 times the next week and first his truck broke down, was suppose to get it fixed the next day, nope, then the next day, nope then by Friday, nope finally I drove to redding, paid for and picked up my boat from Bimini guy, told AAron I was done and I wanted my money back, he told me to send him a bill which I did, he argued about the charges, said he wasn't going to refund my money, then he filed for bankruptcy. He knew I was going to take him to small claims court so he included me as a creditor and got away with it.
Thanks to him, my boat is not fixed, I had to pay for the bimini out of my own pocket and he got $6,000. Thanks Aaron....Do not take your boat to this guy you will be ripped off guarantee. Before all this, he worked on a friends ski boat just a simple oil change and filter, my friend marked the filter with a pen and when he got it back it was the same filter but was charged for a new one. Owner said his son must have forgot to change it. HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN? Ripoff!!!!!! read more
