I was so surprised that there had not been a Yelp review on Knotty Oar previously. This place is…read moregreat!!! We found it 7 years ago when we were looking to rent a pontoon to take some out of town people out on a boat. From the onset the staff was friendly and helpful (we are not experienced boaters), the website for rental was easy user-friendly, the boat was new and beautiful. I would highly recommend Knotty Oar if you are looking to rent in the future. After our wonderful experience renting a boat, we decided we should buy a boat and move to Prior Lake. Knotty Oar has done an exceptional job of servicing, maintaining and storing our boat for the last 5 years. As noted above we were not experienced boaters, Knotty Oar was always there to answer our questions* not just about our boat, but the lake, etc... they have gone over and above to serve our needs. They have found solutions and made things work for their customers and always with a friendly happy to help approach. Knotty Oar could teach a class on customer service. Knotty Oar also gives back to the community with various activities: Rockin' on Reeds, cleaning up the lake, Capable Partners (making fishing accessible) Bowl Hole Fundraiser, to name a few. Going into Knotty Oar reminds me of being up north when I was a little girl- they sell gas, snacks, boat/boating supplies, fabulous apparel. *Everyone at Knotty Oar has been so great, but a special callout to Larry and Travis.

I have been bringing my boat here since 2006, this is a small mom and pop shop. Jeff and his wife…read moreruns this place extremely well. They are well organized , courteous and always very pleasant. I am not surprised to see that their lot is always full with very nice boats. Jeff does great work and it is so nice to know if there is an issue, you can always call them even on Sunday. I will keep on bringing my boat for storage and service here. They are also very reasonably priced.

Horrible for 1950's Ford. I've had my 1955 Thunderbird there three times, each time an issue. One…read morevisit, had the master cylinder replaced, had plenty of brake pressure upon leaving it. I pick it up, and lots of pedal travel before any stopping power. Prior it was excellent. Last visit they rebuilt the Alternator, even though I provided a freshly built one. Reminded them multiple, multiple times to replace the belt. Did they do it? Nope! Returned the car to me not charging at all, same as when I brought it in. Charged me $1000!!! What a total waste of time, this place obviously isn't fluent in 50's Fords. I totally wasted $1000. This garage is the fine example of why it's best to service your own vehicle. Had to fix the horrid job they did. Stick to what you know, MG's. I'm posting a website dedicated to this fiasco, you'll be hearing from me soon!

HUGE selection of used motorcycles in all price ranges, and organized so you can easily find and compare different models.

After close to 400$ later I STILL have said leak, meaning they never actually pressurized my vehicle to figure out where or if there was multiple leaks.

I let them know that I was going to call around, I was told that it shouldn't be that much for a new starter. They stated that they had the best price around & I would not find anyone else to charge me less. I called another place & they stated that for the towing & new starter would be around $500. As a business owner, it's disappointing to see that we have lost the touch of what type of business we have, i serve as a business owner and my clients have been with me for years because I know the value of my customers & ripping humans off only hurts my business. for the diagnostic & to get it towed to their company they charged me almost $400. and my car was only a few miles away from their shop & no this company did not charge me for the mileage, they overcharged me because they thought they could get away with it.
