I have no idea why anyone would blame Chuck for another mechanic's work as I saw on a 2014 review. Apparently they thought this other mechanic worked for or with Chuck. Chuck is an independent, family owned business of the highest caliber.

Chuck's was contacted to give us an estimate on repair of a Yamaha engine for my widowed…read moregirlfriend. Chuck said he would send someone out on the repair. The repair was completed and $875 paid to the mechanic for a high pressure fuel pump and injector cleaning. When the boat was taken out (without mechanic on board) a fuel line had not been clamped on correctly and major damage resulted to the engine. My husband called Chuck's Marine on the issue and we were informed that a "referral" mechanic was sent on the call not an employee of Chuck's Marine. My husband spoke to Chuck's wife trying to get answers. Chuck called my husband back and accused him of speaking poorly to his wife. Initially, no one was standing behind the "negligence" so I called Chuck's service hoping to speak to his wife so that it was "woman to woman". Chuck answered and did not want to hear anything about the issue. He told me to "Kiss my ass and don't you ever call here again. I am going to contact my lawyer about you harassing me!" Very unprofessional language for a business owner especially to a woman. PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS MARINE SERVICE. I would have given 0 stars if I could have rated him that poorly. Next rating will be on the BBB.

When they were using the name Bottoms Up Scuba they opened an Indianapolis location which is where I became a student.

I regret shopping around for the best prices on Scuba training. You really do get what you pay for.

I never write bad reviews but I cannot emphasize enough how terrible this experience was. We booked a boat for a bachelorette party two months in advance and had a very clear plan. A driver called the day before to review the itinerary and said they did this every day. We had a driver who had to stay on the phone with "captain Todd" the entire ride because he had NO IDEA where he was going or what he was doing. We were told we would go to a beach. instead, the driver attempted to beach the boat and drifted into other boats with children close by. We had to leave the area. He continually drove over fishing lines as people got very angry due to his close proximity to every boat we saw. Then, HE GOT LOST taking us back. Instead of an expected 45 minute boat ride back to the dock, he went the wrong direction and it took 2.5 hours to return. The driver asked we help him while we dock the boat and he told my friend to 'throw the rope on the second pole' . He rammed into the dock and my friend was launched into the water. She is scraped up and could've been ran over. I was also promised a speaker. The speakers did not work and we were lost in the ocean with complete silence. Now, the owners will not call me back or give me a refund.
