Last year Owens & Sons Marine did some repairs to my old trailer and gave me a lot of info on the…read morecamper brakes I had been sold by Tidewater trailers. After seeing the quality of trailers coming out the door at Owens, when I returned to New England, I sold my old trailer and ordered one over the phone. Picked it up when promised drove it back to New England, until November when I had my boat hauled, washed and set on the trailer. I had to make 3 or 4 minor and quick adjustments and the boat sat perfectly on the trailer. Kim, Doug and Jeff did everything to make this a great deal and it was. I'll probably never need another boat trailer, but if I do Owens &Sons will be my first stop.

You know how you get a feeling about someone from the first call. they say you only get one time to…read moremake a good first impression I called today and asked for help on an old trailer I just purchased , spoke to a man named Doug he was able to answer my questions and gave me the specs on my old trailer that they built back in 1983 .the reason I called them was because this old trailer was so well built and they are still building the exact same trailer with just a few improvements in brakes and torsion axles to replace the spring axles I truly believe there motto "We may not be the first trailer you purchase but we will be the last." Looking forward to getting the upgrades you recommended Doug

Read alan s review. My experience was almost identical. 60 Years on earth and this is the worst…read morebusiness i ever had to deal with. Lies from the top down. I had my vessel on MarletPlace. AAYS contacted me to see if I wanted them to sell it. After awhile I agreed. Signed the contract and my vessel sat in my marina (2 hrs away) for 6 months. On numerous occasions I was told the boat would be picked up only to have them say a couple days later that they never said it was being picked up. When I finally reached the owner, I was told my boat would never sell for the price that they originally told me they would sell it for. A second contract was signed with me having to take less and them receiving the same. The day the boat was finally picked up, the transport guy who works for them, tried to hit me up for a $350 transport fee. When i told him leave the boat where it is, he decided to waive the fee. I was told by AAYS that a transportation fee was not asked for. Long story short, beware. Liars and scammers. I'm sure they will reply with some lame comment but when the person who bought the boat calls me and says they wish they never bought from this company, there must be a problem.

VERY BAD customer service!!!! A guy named Johnny said he the owner of the shop, was loud and…read moreunhelpful. I came there for a tire change. My tire lug nuts keys I always had dem sitting in the back of my car. Johnny came out and started yelling that there was no lug nuts keys and unable to change my tires, and he threw stuffs from my glove box out looking for the lugs nuts keys, and didnt bother put them back, and then continue with more yelling say I need to go get the lug nuts keys. Of course I didnt got my tires changed, I got home and rechecked the back of my car, sure enough one of the lug nuts keys was stuck between the spare tire. He probably threw the other lug nuts key out when he looking for it at the shop. End of story i lost one of the lug nuts keys and had to pay have the lug nuts taken out and get new lug nuts and key put in. Thanks to the owner. Never again with this shop. Dont waste your time and money there.

I brought a pontoon to Priority Welding after another welder over-pressurized the tube causing a…read moreblowout. Dave assured me they were experts capable of correcting the issue. Priority did more harm than good and literally broke my boat, hid the damage, and then allowed me to put an unsafe vessel back in the water. Their faulty repair weakened the structural integrity of the pontoon and led to catastrophic failure. I reached out to Priority to at least recover the $4,280 paid for their shoddy craftsmanship but have received no response. Costs to have the boat properly repaired have now exceeded $9,000. In the pictures, you can see the pontoon removed from the deck, as well as examples of some of the work they did. To remove the tube required breaking two factory welds. I was not informed of this, and they did not do anything to reconnect the pontoon properly, creating a flex point at the bow. They also improperly welded next to existing welds without grinding out the old welds first, which immediately cracked. We try to trust established businesses to help with things we are not capable of doing ourselves. In this case, there will have to be legal intervention, as Priority seems disinterested in offering a true solution. After the boat was completely stripped down, they offered to have me bring the boat by so they could take another stab at it. If they didn't get it right in the first place, and knowingly caused damage, why would I entrust them to lay a finger on the vessel again? Finding a good welder is not the easiest thing, but there is no excuse for a lack of integrity when your company falls short. This was not just dropping the ball; this was putting people's lives in danger.

They messed up our project and refuse to make it right without legal intervention.read more

I just wanted to leave a quick review for Tampa Bay Marine Center on Seminole Blvd about the…read moreAwesome service that I received from the owner Chris. I called few Marine Centers I needed to get some service work done on my SX240 Skeeter because I had some company coming in from out of town unexpectedly and they wanted to go boating & fishing while they were here. So I called 3 boat companies to see if they were able to get my boat in the next few days for some basic service work nothing that was a big deal all 3 boat shops told me they were 2-3 weeks out before they could get my boat in for a 300 hour service on my motor witch only takes about an hour to do I even told them that I'll pay a little extra if they were able to squeeze me in but they all said no to me. Then I found Tampa Bay Marine Center gave them a call a guy named Chris answered the phone I told Chris my situation he said my shop is full of boats right now we are pretty busy I told him I understand and all the other shops told me the same thing. Chris asked me where I was located I told him were I was he said your only 5-mins down the street from us he says how fast can you get here with your boat I said today? he says yes I said 30mins he says I'll see you soon my boat was at his shop at 11:30am he calls me back at 2pm and told me to come and pick up your boat it's all done and the price was much better than I expected. I am a very happy customer Tampa Bay Marine Center will be the only boat shop that will take care of all my boats. Thank you very much Chris for Great service you guys are Awesome.
