When I brought the boat in Linda had a mechanic come out and show me how to start the engine and even took the time to check the oil in the lower unit. Another boat shop might have said to park the boat in the lot and come back in a few weeks, but Linda and her mechanic went out of their way to get me and my boat back in the water.

I called Central Body to get some info and discuss my options. I spoke with the manager Kathy. The very next day I called back with a few more questions and spoke with her again. From the moment the phone was answered to the very second we hung up the phone both times, Kathy was absolutely AMAZING! Very knowledgeable, 1,000% honest and respectable which was very appreciated and a pleasure to hear. At the end of the day, she did give me her opinion and advised me on NOT getting our camper fixed due to the damage, the year of it and the worth. So, she did turn away business yes, but what she did was save us a HUGE HUGE hassle in the long run and allowed us to make a smart educated decision on what to do. And she also gave me a few tips on how to do an easy diy fix to get us by for a little while until our brand-new camper arrived which was on order. I hope and pray nothing happens with our new one, but if for any reason it does, Central Body is the 1st place I'm gonna go to especially if Kathy is the one that helps us.

They solve problems! - I really like how nice they are to my wife. They don't talk down to ladies like some places (like Bass Pro). - parts are warrantied so if anything fails they stand behind it and fix it. - the parking lot is a bit weird, but it is laid out to make it easy to drop off and pick up boats. - good people.

When they finally said they had fixed all the issues they caused in the first repair they started ghosting us. We had major issues immediately but since they refused to answer a call or text or email we have started fixing them ourselves. They ROBBED us. 3 months later and we are STILL finding shoddy 1/2 assed work on major and minor things from top to bottom. They installed ALL our windows UPSIDE DOWN how do they not know which way the windows go in!!!??? They shot nails from the inside THROUGH THE SIDING ON THE OUTSIDE FOR GODS SAKE!!!! and since they started ghosting us and refused to do reasonable work OR return our money we had to learn how to fix every issue they left us with. Highway robbery and terrible work. All the windows being reinstalled upside down and therefore leaking I to the rv was the TIPPYtip of the iceberg. I could go on for PAGES.

The boat was delivered late, the electronics we were promised would be installed were untouched for 3 more weeks, and worst of all, the boat quit running shortly after delivery.
