Parker truly went above and beyond, and I'm so grateful for his professionalism, dedication, and genuine care throughout the process. If you're looking for someone who really puts the customer first, Parker is your guy!

I would be cautious when dealing with this company for a few reasons. We were looking at a used…read moreboat with them. The price was negotiated before we looked at it with the caveat that the boat was in good condition. They also signed a letter of intent on price with a new trailer vs. using one they had there. Experience when we got there to test drive was great and kid that took us out on the water was super nice. However when we pulled the boat out to look at the hull (when they said boat was in good condition), the entire outdrive was very chewed up (more than just the skeg itself). Parker who was the salesman kind of just dismissed us saying we couldn't make a deal that day (for various reasons) and went back on the letter of intent price we had in writing for both the boat (couple hundred bucks difference) and the new trailer price (couple thousand dollars difference). He said he would call the next morning and never did. Something must have happened with him going back on what he personally wrote in writing vs. what he said that day however having multiple dishonest practices is enough for me to not do business with them.

Finding a good mobile mechanic that will work on stern drives is difficult in this area. Most of…read morethe greats are retired as this technology is getting long in the tooth. I was very pleased to find Lakeside Boat would visit my marina and work on my motor. The scheduling was hard to get done though - I was ready to find another mechanic before we started. Once the work was on the schedule, I felt good - going to get some maintenance (tune up/oil change) and have my manifolds replaced as they were getting on 5 years (routine to change them on that interval). Josh sent me a bill for parts estimated - and I know that that will vary to some degree once the work starts. Paid it right away because I wanted to get the boat in tip top again. During the day of the service, I got a call - a part was not anticipated, and it would add $900 to the bill. Ok. At that point, I'm kind of committed so I said OK. I didn't realize I was going to pay shop labor rate for Josh to drive to Kent to pick up those parts and then drive them to Edmonds. That added $1000 to the bill for delivery and then Josh waiting around. At the end of the day, I got the call that the boat was done - and because it would not start (it had been running for me reliably until then) another part was needed. Again, at that point I'm committed. Got the final bill via the online portal - and paid it right away even though I was at that point in total sticker shock. The total price came in over $5,000. I had questions. I finally got Josh on the phone - he's disappointed, I'm disappointed - because I've had mobile work done on my boat for years and years - and never had this feeling that I got fleeced. After the phone call... I still feel like I got fleeced. I inspected the work - it looks solid. They have a good mechanic. I question the business ethic however. Still waiting for an itemized bill.

I held off on writing this review as I was waiting to see how management was going to handle damage…read morethat was done to my boat while in their care over the winter. Unfortunately, they didn't think they were responsible for the damage so with that, I couldn't discourage using Lakeside enough. I dropped my boat off for winter storage and picked my boat up approximately 6 months later in the spring. When I picked up, I wasn't able to hook up the trailer because of damage to the trailer tongue coupler. After giving the boat a thorough check, it was noted that a hole was punched through on the forward end of the outboard engine cowling and there was damage to the back end of the boat. After lifting up the seats to access the underseat storage (pontoon boat with bench seating), every compartment was soaked and had standing water. The operations manager claimed it was because I dropped it off in November. Even though I paid over $3K for indoor winter storage, they blamed it on me for the time of year I dropped off the boat. I eventually found out that the boat was transported in the winter months with no cover on from Kent to Lake Stevens and then later from Lake Stevens to Fisherman's terminal area (about 90 miles in total) to their new shop. When pressed about who did the transportation, I was told, "by friends paying them in pizza and beer". Upon getting the boat in the water, I discovered that the starboard speakers on the boat were not working. Once again, none of these issues existed prior to or on the day of dropping off the boat to them. Lakeside was unwilling to take any responsibility for these issues so hopefully trying to save anyone else a headache by using them for future boat storage.

I would be very careful trusting online reviews about this company. It seems like the positive…read morereviews on yelp and google come from recently opened accounts of family friends who obviously have little to no reviews. The reviews are also very vague with little to no details, which is consistent with fabricated reviews. We came in and asked for a quote on building some wood cabinets on our 28' constellation. Right off the bat, they were annoyed with us for dropping in unexpectedly without calling. When we parked in their gravel lot, a middle aged brownish blonde haired man came out and pointed at us saying "this isn't hospital parking you need to leave right now." We were stunned. I answered "we're not visiting the hospital...." I was annoyed with his attitude and gave him an attitude right back. It was ridiculous the way he greeted us with such hostility without even knowing why we were there. So what if we didn't call ahead? We were in the area and wanted to drop by because we wanted to know how much it would cost to replace the cabinets in our boat. Once he realized we were there to talk business he explained that their company has been there for nearly a hundred years and that a lot of people from UWMC and surrounding businesses park in their lot. "It's an ongoing battle we're sick and tired of" he says to us. Well guess what? That's not a very bright idea to translate your personal issues onto customers now is it?? What kind of business model is that? At that point we already knew there wasn't a chance in hell we would go with these guys. I'm sure the employee knew as well, which is why his tone continued to grow increasingly impatient when we asked for a quote. Granted, we only wanted a quote at that point to compare prices. He saw this as a waste of his time. "That's a small project and we're busy this time of year. Can't help ya." That was his answer, without seeing or visualizing what we were even asking for. Then he turned his back on us and went back inside. These guys make their money from wealthy loyal customers who understand that this is a rare niche to fill when it comes to wood boats. However, their ego and method of dealing with potential customers is inexcusable. What a disgrace.
