    My #1 hobby is fishing and I'm out on the lake 2-3x a week. I have a boat and naturally with how…read moreoften I fish I need maintenance & repairs to keep it running in tip top shape. Well I only knew of two companies who are supposed specialists with bass boat repairs/maintenance and the other one I wasn't too fond of, so I gave Fish'n Marine a shot. My first dealing with Fish'n Marine was about half a year ago and while they were very friendly and personable, they did not follow-through on any of their deadlines nor did they keep me in the loop as they promised throughout the repair process. I had to call them 2 times to get status updates. My repair was done 3 days later than promised and instead of apologizing they made excuses. There's nothing worse than making excuses and not owning up to something. A simple solution is to give a sincere apology and make the customer know you are truly sorry, and do your best to make the best of a situation. OK, So all that aside, I gave it another whirl with Fish'n Marine because as mentioned, the other place locally for bass boats, I was not too fond of after my dealings with them either. i called first off before bringing my boat in and one of the owners confirmed that he could get it looked at for me the same day and they would have an update for me before the end of the day. When I arrived, I made things affirmative and that we both were on the same page before I left my boat... "Did you want to go fishing tomorrow?" the one owner asked. I said 'Yes, that would be great'. He replied "OK, Well I will get this taken care of today and we will bill it at 1 hour (that's their minimum labor charge) and then call you back by the end of a day with an update if it will take any longer, otherwise we'll have you ready to go to fish tomorrow." I left excited that I'd have an update that night and be on the water in the morning. Later that day, 1pm passed, 3pm passed, 5pm passed, 6pm passed... no calls, no updates. I called them at about 630pm and no answer. I guess they were gone for the day. Great, so no updates again just like what happened in my first dealing with them. I naively think 'OK, well maybe he will call me in the AM to say it's ready.' So I wake up at 630am thinking to get an update when they open, but nothing. I realized this is their way of doing business- say one thing and not follow through. I've been there and done that with many businesses and people in California, call it what you want- flake, false promises, misleading, whatever. It's no good in my books. Not following through on promises/commitments is almost as bad as being an outright liar. I decide to get work done and let them call me at their leisure. For surely they would call me at some point during the day. One day without fishing wouldn't kill me (even though I was really looking forward to it). Well 430pm came around and still nothing, so again I had to call them (they didn't call me). I call and speak to the other owner and he's absolutely clueless. He had no idea of the status of my boat and it was as if it was the first time he was hearing about it. He proceeded to tell me (after I told him that the other owner assured me I'd be up and running for fishing today) that "No way, he wouldn't say that, we had a couple boats in front of you." So the other owner more or less said that I was lying and the other owner never promised this delivery date to me haha. O well, so I went on to listen to the BS and excuses for a couple more minutes. He told me he'd call me back 'within the hour' with an 'update'. He calls me back 1 hour and 50 minutes later, not within the hour. He proceeds to give me more BS about "Well, ya know anything electrical is usually a big ordeal and it could be a number of issues" blah blah blah blah blah. Obviously this was the first time they even looked at my boat, and who knows if they even looked into the problem or just called me back to hold me over. The long story short is that I listened to this company not once, but twice give me expectations and not only not meet them, but not provide a new updated time of completion nor be 'straight with me.' In both occurrences they made BS excuses and ran me in circles. The end result is that this owner got nasty with me on the phone and hung up on ME! I didn't even curse, yell, or scream. I was actually rather level headed with him (they have my boat, and of course I want it fixed and them not to 'screw with it'). So he actually hung up on me lol. UNREAL. I'm going to get my boat tomorrow from these guys and nothing was even repaired and no problem solved because they never even got to the boat yet! Check out 2 other reviews on my yelp page about my marina/boat repair experiences. There is another similar bad one and then one very good experience - to whom I will now be using from now on (I only came back to these guys once more because the good place was closed for a holiday break). Final thoughts? Meh. I've experienced better.
