The Clear Lake Marina has always been a staple of good business here in Northern Indiana. They…read morehave helpful, knowledgeable staff that make every dealing with them a pleasurable one. On site they have a myriad of services they provide. Among them are: boat ramp, dockside gasoline, winter storage for boats and boat lifts, lift delivery and installation, Nautique dealer, Kawasaki Jet-ski dealer, pontoon boats, dock and boating hardware, skis and wakeboards and their necessary hardware, life jackets, tow-able floats, Clear Lake shirts and hats, the Seaweed Café(snacks and hot dogs, etc. from what I can tell, I've never actually eaten there). My father's been coming to Clear Lake since he was in college, renting, then finally became an owner about 15 years ago. So I've been coming here my entire life. (kinda wish Yelp had a location for the lake itself, I could go on and on). But my dad's had some times he's needed more attention from the Marina (a problem jet-ski), and he got it. The people there know their customers and greet them as friends with first names. Personalized service is a dying art these days, and I'm glad to see that it still matters to the CLM. They don't have high-pressure sales people, just knowledgeable and laid back, casual sales atmosphere. We could have a much worse marina on this lake. Every time I visit CL, I always make it a point to stop by the CLM. It just feels good. And we usually end up buying something. Yesterday, went for a t-shirt, ended up with another jet-ski!

Dave answered our call and told is to come on in. Rod, our service technician, had the issue diagnosed in less than 15 minutes, took us out to the shop and explained the issue and resolution, and got us back on the road to Michigan! Rod and Dave were very pleasant to work with and, after getting us in and back on the road so quickly, they refused to charge us! Thank You Gents!! A pleasure to find that kind of customer service still exists! A+++

I took my 2007 Buick Lacrosse to Estle on Dec 17, 2015 for an exhaust leak,and told them at this time I thought I had a coolant leak they patched the exhaust leak and found no coolant leak charged $44.00, and out the door I went until 2 days later when exhaust patch leaked. On Feb 23, 2016 it went back to Estle for exhaust leak and no heat, they discovered at that time that the front cover gasket needed replaced, cost would be $1066.00. March 8, 2016 went back because I still had no heat, and they flushed the heater core. March 21,2016 back to Estle because huge oil leak after pulling car out of garage, at that time new front cover gasket and front crank seal. April 2,2016 driving car and oil pressure light comes and car dies 70 miles from home, subsequent tow bill $155.00 back to Estle and now lower end of motor blown. Service department, so I delt with Treasa Beres, service manager, and Dave Spitler, service advisor, said they will tear motor apart and charge $200-400 to see what problem is or they can just replace my motor for $3000-$5000 dollars. So I call GM Headquarters, they call me back 48 hours later and state they cant do anything about it and that "sometimes things just happen". I've owned this car since brand new and it has had religious oil changes and has always gone to Estle for any other maintenance. Staff got very rude to me when inquiring about the repairs and concerns I had.I have been a customer since this dealership was Stan Pepple, and I feel very disappointed to get this type of service, when being what I thought was a valued customer for years.

I started out using Performance Unlimited several years ago when other marine mechanics could not…read morefigure out what was wrong with my Mercury 40hp outboard. It was a 1997 outboard and the guys (Dan & Heath) figured out the problems and got me back on the water. Well age finally caught up with my motor and parts are becoming almost impossible to find and after a long conversation with Dan it was decided to replace the outboard with a new one. Dan found a new 50hp Mercury and him and Heath replaced my old outboard with the new one. After the new motor arrived at the shop, they had me out the door and ready to hit the water in 2 days. Once on the water the new outboard performed as expected and the service and professionalism that the entire staff from Performance Unlimited showed from the owner to the office staff to the technicians was above and beyond. I will keep using this company for my marine needs and I will highly recommend them 100%. Great service and pricing.

Jim at Performance Unlimited was only authorized to fix the out drive on our boat. He wanted to…read moretake our boat for a test drive and then would not respond to any calls to get our boat back. A year and a half later he sent us a $7,100 bill and when we got our boat back it had a damaged engine. He said that he would stand behind the $7,100 work if the boat didn't run, which it didn't. He came and picked up the boat and 1 month later he said it was winterized and fixed. However, when we went to pick it up the second time it was in pieces all over his business. The engine was damaged while in his possession and we were given unauthorized charges. We had to pay another professional $9,000 to fix the engine damage that Jim had done while the boat was in his possession doing a test drive. We paid Jim, but left with our boat not put back together or running.

My vehicle is in very good condition considering its age, and I am not willing to get rid of it to buy new. So I started my journey looking for and visiting body shops. I had spent two months and over 20 phone calls to body shops in the Fort Wayne surrounding areas. Seventy percent of them said they do NOT do rust repair. In Indiana - really?? Out of the Thirty percent that did do rust repair, they either gave me very high estimates, refused to give me an estimate up front, or claimed I needed more work done that was necessary. A few of them were just plain unreliable or shady. Then I found Hartman's. Known today as The Toy Shed. Ethan is one of the owners. Upon stopping by their clean shop, Ethan actually came out and went under my vehicle to do a more thorough check of the rust situation. He gave me a preliminary written estimate while I was there. It was a very fair estimate. He is knowledgeable, and one of the most honest young men I have had the pleasure of doing business with in a long time. They not only completed all the work in a timely manner, but did some extras at no additional charge for most of it. He said they cut out all the rust before welding on the new. This is what you need for the job to be done right. He took pictures also, so I could see the hidden rust places and some of the phases of the job. Ethan was patient and available to answer all my questions. When ever he said he would call me, he did! From the paperwork, to the communications, to the body work; it was all professional, honest, fair, and well done. One of the only shops left in the area that does honest, good, rust repair. They will be the body shop I turn to in the future. I was told that they also do insurance/collision repair. I highly recommend Hartman's/Toy Shed for auto body or rust repair.
