I called and spoke with Jeff and was impressed by his positive and can-do attitude. Even after many years in the business and probably dealing with many amateurs like me, he's positive and I didn't feel judged like I have other places in the past for not knowing too much. He's a straight shooter and deserves all the business anyone can send his way.

I highly recommend taking your PWC to SkeTech. Jeff is an old-school no BS kind of guy operating in…read morean industry with a lot of con artists. I brought my 2009 Sea Doo GTX in and talked with Jeff about the issues (top speed 30 MPH with high rpm) I was facing, he even helped with connecting the trailer during pickup and drop off. Jeff told me he would call me in a day or two with some news. Sure enough, I got a call the next day. Jeff explained to me patiently what he thought was the issue but that there was no guarantee it would fix my performance. He didn't try to sell me on anything, and explained what I could do, the price, and if it was needed today, next year, or in 5 years. He was very professional and accommodating, letting me have some time to think over my decision financially. Overall he got the job done and was right on the quote. Price was right and I felt good having my machine in the hands of SkeTech. Ski seems to be running better than ever before, thanks to SkeTech. I highly recommend this shop for PWC needs and even saw that the shop takes care of all the Chicago harbor rental jet ski repairs too. And those have seen some beatings. Makes me know I'm in the right place. Thanks again Jeff!

I was looking to get the impeller replaced joe noticed the fuel filter needed replacing with fuel pump quick upcharge fine needs it get er done as they say. sent me vid of it running great, also mentioned trailer bearings need replacing. fine do that while it's there i like to support local business whenever possible Impeller was 8 yrs old other parts were original equipment super reliable motor. Everything fine till pickup paid over 1000 for probably 600 worth of work, but hey ya gotta pay to play. joe mentioned the tarp on the boat was blowing around. when i looked it was because they were too lazy to put the Bunge cords on to hold the tarp they were laying on the ground with the tarp stuffed in the boat. so i started putting the tarp on myself and had a cardiac event setting off my defibrillator 1st time in 2 yrs 4th since 2017 .should have gone and asked for help but was too stubborn. so i took several breaks and struggled on. Small things like putting the customers tarp back on matters. It shows as a business owner you care. myself being a business owner. would be like remodeling a kitchen and then taking the boxes from the cabinets and leaving them on the kitchen floor. if the amount of care taken with the tarp is any indication of the quality of the work done on my motor which is usually a pretty good indicator I'm in trouble.

Their labor rates are cometitive and their mechanics are honest. You will never leave there unhappy. (Except for wanting all of the new boats you can't afford) I have been a boat owner for 10+ years and have dealt with many different dealerships- MBOC is for sure the best.

Purchasing a boat can be painful (at least it is for me). It's been unbelievable how great my…read moreexperience has been with Basa's. Rudie Gotlund is the boat whisperer in my opinion. As easy going as I am, I still may not be the easiest customer to deal with being that I made SO MANY changes and customizations to the Crestliner I ordered. Rudie was knowledgeable and patient in all situations. I have purchased boats at other dealers and it's been a mixed bag (mostly painful). This was truly an enjoyable experience with added personal touches from the team. On the financing and deal closure side, Jody and Rich were fantastic. Jody obtained the tricky financing I requested, and made the deal closing most enjoyable. Additionally she is a walking boat regulation encyclopedia, and she provide amazing guidance on DNR regulations, Illinois government guidelines, etc. These are things I thought I knew already, as a seasoned tournament fisherman and watersport enthusiast, but found out I didn't know as much as I thought after meeting with Jody. She hooked us up so we be safe and legal at all times in my new beast Super Hawk Crestliner! Finally, Chris and David were the master technicians that installed my kicker motor and other complex modifications to this boat! Chris was very patient and informative in the boat walk through. My fingers were crossed all installation modifications would be done correctly. Well, they were! Thank you so much Basa's team!

She understands that this is a big purchase and made sure that I understood what I was getting into and what all my options were. I was on the fence on different models and brands and she helped me with a side by side comparison so I picked the right one with options that I need. It was a big purchase for me so she wasn't pushy, on the other hand she also welcomed me with open arms and made me feel comfortable since I have had trouble in the past with sales people not wanting to approach me since I don't have the appearance of being rich. She didn't hesitate to greet me and help me out. Later after we made sure that we had the right make and model she introduced me to one of the owners Matt. We sat down and he dialed me in with the price. It was like a no haggle thing since I was shopping and knew what this should cost and he was below anyone else. He was very very helpful and was a pleasure to do business with. This is a family business and they treated me like family. Not only do I recommend Munson to strangers on the internet but would recommend them to my friends and family. All of their boats and products are top notch and they been in the business for like over 60years (I think). So that tells you something right there they would not be around for so long if they didn't know what they were doing and doing things right.
