It seems only in small towns you find businesses and people like are at Rockport Marine. Now, you…read morecan find lower prices & larger selections elsewhere, but what you wont find is knowledge, customer service and the mindset of building, fostering and maintaining relationships. I have been coming to Rockport Marine for a few years for parts for my boats and older motors. When it came time to re-power and I talked to local guides and others, the universal answer was "to go to Rockport Marine." Re-Power estimate was spot on with invoice even though they missed a couple items needed and even replaced an item they said they damaged, even though it was minor and only cosmetic and likely a result of the age of the item, not technician malfeasance or carelessness. Jeff insisted they replace it on their dime against my objection to do so as I didn't feel it warranted. Now, there were a couple of minor issues upon delivery which when found they owned and promptly corrected. A man 's or business's ability to own up to their mistakes speaks to character. Support after the sale has been epic as well, thus far and I expect in the future. The owners of the business are on site every day they are opened and will step in to take care of you if they need to, another quality not found at larger big box type places. Like one local fishing guide told me, I will tell you. Go to Rockport Marine and go nowhere else. If they don't have what you need, wait for it and let them get it. The marginal amount more you might pay is worth the level of service and support the provide.

Service long after the sale.....another uncommon experience that's not forgotten here…read more So it's been over a year since doing a re power on my boat. The new steering wheel installed by Rockport Marine as a freebie add on was getting loose and wiggly (that's a technical nautical term lol ) . For other reasons I decided to upgrade it to a smaller wheel to improve clearance between the helm and the seat. When the new one came in they assisted in what should have been a simple install that turned into a bit more. Upon inspection of the old wheel it was discovered the quality of the welds on it were sub par. Now I didn't ask for this, the owner told the cashier at ring up to only charge me the dealerships cost for the new wheel not retail price. This after a free assist in install. He said he was disappointed in the quality of the original wheel from a reputable manufacturer and the inconvenience it caused. This is service long after the sale. This is how you build lifelong relationships and customers that feel like family.

AVOID!!! They tried to scam me on a genset rebuild a few years back. First quote was $800 saying…read morehey its only nuts and bolts. So I left it with them. A month later with no response I checked and found it was torn apart on the bench just sitting there rusting in their shop for several weeks already. They informed me that the price had suddenly and mysteriously become $2400 and if I did not like that they would just put the parts in a box. I asked them why triple the price. They said the pistons had grown hair and it would be really difficult to repair. That upset me so much that I decided to just do it myself instead of paying half the cost of a whole new genset just for a small engine rebuild. I did the job myself for 400 in parts and boring fee. Took me about a weekend to finish after parts came in. Needless to say it runs like a top now and that there was nothing especially difficult about the job. Stay far away from this bait and switch outfit.

A week ago, I spoke with Rick. I told him of my issues on my rig after finding their business from…read morethe Forrest River website. Rick told me to bring my rig in today (a week after our call) and they would diagnose the issues and then submit to my warranty company. I got up early and packed up my rig, drove it the 35 miles to the business and when I got there, he told me that they could not look at it today and that I could bring it back on Monday. Rick had my name and phone number and never called to tell me that they would not have a technician to look at it. What a waste of my time, energy and gas to go there. NEVER again! Terrible customer service. STAY AWAY!!

IF I COULD GIVE -9 STARS I WOULD…read more My husband and I recently visited Ron Hoover RV in Rockport while shopping for an RV. Unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing. The salesman, Charlie Ham, spent most of our time speaking negatively about a competing RV dealership just a few miles down the road. He even admitted to having previously worked there and claimed to have taken advantage of customers while doing so; something that left us very unsettled. When we inquired about used trailers, Mr. Ham dismissed them as overpriced and in poor condition, saying they weren't worth the money. Rather than focusing on helping us find the right RV, the conversation continued to revolve around criticizing other dealerships. Afterward, we decided to visit the competitor he spoke so poorly of and had an entirely different experience. The staff there was kind, helpful, and professional, and they helped us narrow down what we truly wanted. Because of our experience at Ron Hoover, we will not be purchasing from them now or in the future.
