I told the woman on the phone I needed an inspection and to fix whatever was wrong. This was a new boat to us and we wanted to make sure it was safe for our family. We are also new boat owners. I dropped off my boat on 10/2 everything seemed fine. I was told it would be sometime the following week. Great. We get a call on 10/8 they didn't have they key to the boat so we ran up there to bring it, in the mean time they found a key that fit and they checked it out. Great! Here is where it gets really weird and honestly uncomfortable. I paid the bogus inspection fee of $190 cash as I was told what was wrong with the boat and the immediate fixable things were needs a bearing, oil change, spark plugs and some new seals. There was a younger gentleman and older gentleman. I said ok I'd like to fix what we can please. Older gentleman gave me a quote of $789 for just the seals and I said ya that's fine let's get that done and anything else. He looked at me for awhile and smiled and called to the younger gentleman and said "hey do you feel like putting in some new seals?" The younger gentleman said " ya maybe if it cools off" ya maybe? Really? They wanted me to take my boat home and come back when it was "cooler" and "if" the younger gentleman wanted to do it. My husband and I were so upset we told them we'd just call later. What is the point of taking my boat to a mechanic and having it inspected if they REFUSE don't the work. I guess they don't want more business and it was so u professional I don't have words. We asked 2 questions (3 including can we get these items fixed this week) and were made to feel really stupid from the older guy because we asked them. NOT everyone is an expert owner and not everyone understands mechanical language and some people need an explanation. You guys are the professionals. Very disappointed in this company and it's ability to fix things. We were told they would do it when they feel like it and that schedule doesn't work for me. The whole reason i brought the boat to them was to inspect it and fix it. So now, they stole $190 from me because they refused to fix it and now I have to find another mechanic, pay them an inspection fee and have it fixed there. Not cool. I want my $190 back. Our contract was to inspect and fix the issues. I paid $190 for absolutely nothing and a bogus inspection that took exactly 19 minutes. Very disappointing. Definitely will not be back. If I had used a credit card I'd be disputing the charge.

Stored my 2008 Sanger ski boat at GoldKey Boat storage over this past winter. When the spring came…read morearound I had the guys at GoldKey do a summarization, oil change, spark plugs and a V-drive service to the boat. Total cost of this service was around $600. I picked the boat up in May and brought it up to Tahoe where I live. When I launched the Boat it immediately began to overheat within 15 mins of being in the water. I shut the boat off and made it over safely to someones dock. Never had a chance to even make it out of the marina and the motor was smoking hot! I pulled the boat out of the water and brought it to a local boat mechanics shop in Tahoe. They called me back immediately and informed me that whoever summarized the boat did not hook the hoses up correctly and no water was ran through the cooling system which made the impeller fail causing the engine to over heat. Huge disappointment to say the least. Meanwhile, I had been in close contact with the owner of Gold Key about the repairs and issues with my boat. He reassured me that Goldkey would either pay for repairs or offer me a credit to my account at Gold Key for future services which was documented over a recorded line. I asked them to simply pay the repair costs and just move on from this incident. Goldkey never payed for the repairs before I picked the boat back up and I had to shell out another $900 for their mistakes. Now the owner is backing out of paying for the repairs. I understand that mistakes in service happen but its how the management and owner has handled this whole situation. This has been the most unprofessional service I have ever received. I still to this date have not received a apology or any refund. TERRIBLE EXPIERENCE I would NOT recommend anyone to store their vehicles or boats at Gold key. This business has terrible leadership and does not take care of their customers.
