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.

Dan is the man! I have been coming here for 2 years now and every time I go I have become…read moreaccustomed to expect nothing less than great service and courtesy from Dan and the other workers. He truly understands that people have lives and schedules outside of just getting their oil changed. He goes out of his way to make sure you are accommodated. Because they are open until 10:00 makes it so easy to work things around your schedule. They make sure to explain everything that is going on and are as honest as they come. It really takes the headache out of going to a service center. I was once having issues with my tires getting balanced. I had gone to a Firestone to get new tires and they didn't balance them correctly. I then went to my local Jeep dealership to have them rebalance them and still my car was shaking. I became sick of going to the chain service shops and thought I would try out University Service. When I got there I told Dan what had happened with the two dealerships before and he said he will personally check to make sure that his guys balanced my tires correctly!
