1 Star -- I would not recommend this shop…read more I found Mike at Clovis Boat & Trailer Repair through a recommendation in a Facebook boating group. Unfortunately, what started as a relatively simple starter replacement turned into three separate trips and more than $3,000 out of pocket, and my boat still wasn't running correctly when I finally took it somewhere else. My experience was as follows: 1. First visit: I brought the boat in for a starter replacement and oil change. I also asked about rebuilding/cleaning the carburetor because the boat wasn't idling properly. I was told they don't rebuild or clean carburetors. 2. Second visit: I brought it back for a new impeller and spark plugs, hoping the plugs might help with the idling issue. During this visit, the starter bolts were also broken. I was told the rear bracket supporting the starter "didn't need" to be there, so the bracket was removed. 3. Third visit: The boat overheated after the impeller replacement. I was later told that one of the mechanics had misaligned the belts. I needed a new manifold and an upper bellow, along with other parts. Mike told me, "We check the boats before they leave, and we may have let yours go before starting and testing." I appreciated that he acknowledged the possibility, but I was still left paying out of pocket for repairs resulting from the situation. Then the starter bolt broke again. Mike replaced the bolt, but when I got the boat home, I discovered that the distributor wiring harness was completely unplugged. I sent Mike a picture showing the disconnected harness. His response was essentially dismissive, and I didn't feel like there was much concern about the fact that the boat had apparently been returned to me without even being properly tested. I took the boat to the lake, and it wouldn't start. At that point, I took it to another mechanic. The difference was immediate. The new mechanic opened the engine bay and immediately identified several issues: -The starter was missing the rear support bracket, which he said was allowing excessive torque and contributing to the starter bolts breaking. -The timing was too far advanced. -Hoses from the carburetor were in the wrong location for breathing -The carburetor did not need to be rebuilt; it simply needed to be cleaned. -Most importantly, the engine had been overheated previously and the cylinder head had a crack that had not been identified. After the new mechanic addressed the issues, the boat idled perfectly and I have not had the recurring starter bolt problem. My biggest issue isn't that a repair shop can make a mistake. Mistakes happen. My issue is the apparent lack of quality control, final testing, and oversight of the work being performed. I was told the boat was being checked, yet I received it back with an unplugged distributor, recurring starter problems, timing issues, and ultimately a cracked head from the overheating incident from poor quality checks. Mike himself is a personable guy, and I have nothing against him personally. However, based on my experience, I don't feel comfortable recommending the shop. I also got the impression that less experienced workers were being allowed to work on my boat without adequate supervision. Whether that was his son or another employee, I can't say for certain, so I'm not going to make that claim as a fact. What I can say is that the quality of the work I received was not acceptable, especially considering the amount of money I spent. If you're considering using Clovis Boat & Trailer Repair, I strongly recommend getting a second opinion and making sure the boat is actually started, tested, and thoroughly inspected before accepting it back. For me, the additional expense, repeated trips, downtime, and ultimately having another mechanic diagnose and correct the problems made this a very frustrating and expensive experience.

I purchased a Manitou Tritoon from Mark in 2017. I shopped…read morearound for quite a while looking at other brands and models. Since the boat I liked was a lot of money, I had lots of questions and did not want to regret my purchase. Mark spent lots of time on the phone with me answering questions before I finally drove down, 2 hours, to buy the boat. I've been extremely happy with the boat and it drives like a Porsche on water, especially for a 27' pontoon boat. I've actually had it up to 55 mph! I get a lot of attention whether towing it in town or on the water. It's just a very nice boat. We did have a cavitation issue whenever cornering. The boat kept up high RPMs but lost substantial speed in a sharp turn. After talking to Mark a few times, we decided to drop the motor an inch. I brought the boat down and Mark's mechanics lowered the motor. Got the boat back in the water and problem fixed. Last week: We keep our boat in covered storage during the off season and this last time I dropped it off, I'd forgotten to turn battery switch off. The house battery drained and I didn't catch this. I had my buddy drop me in the water and although the motor was running I didn't catch that I didn't have any gauges or power steering. With no steering, I had to get towed back. I didn't understand the problem at the time and although I knew it had to be electrical, I checked the fuses and they were all good. I called in to Semper and talked to Jason. This guy was very willing to help and told me he'd look into it. I figured I wouldn't here back for a few days since it was Saturday and also figured I wouldn't be on the lake this weekend, but I was wrong. An hour later I got a phone call from Jason. He recommended putting a jumper line between the cranking battery and the house battery. That was it!! Back on the water. Jason saved my weekend. He even called later in the day to see how things were going. I couldn't thank him enough. One last note: I've driven other pontoon brands and they just don't drive like a Manitou. You can just tell the quality between other boats and a Manitou. I paid $20k more for all the bells and whistles for a similar boat of a different brand and again, I'm really happy with my decision.

He went around to the back where they were working and they told him they don't open until 0900 (even though it was 0908). When he asked them about his issue they said "just because we are an authorized dealer, doesn't mean we know anything about it." When he asked about a warranty, they said they didn't know Suzuki had a warranty and that they didn't even know how to make a claim. They said they would charge $175 to look at it. Needless to say, we took it somewhere else.

In summary, the whole buying experience was truly great in every way. Jake, did his part to understand what I was after and intuitively took me a bit further down a less-expensive road, whatttt?! And, he made the right call. Also, he worked with me as I worked him on the price. We did not frustrate, but methodically worked out a fair price, and he certainly held up his end of the bargain. For that alone, he gets 5 stars! Next, the boat checkout. I was probably an easy customer having been around boats all my life. Nonetheless, Dillon (sorry Dylan, if I butchered your name!) was timely, efficient, patient, and willing to help and answer any and all questions in the parking lot, on the lake, and on the ramp. 5 stars. Matt, the main service guy. This is a tough one because I know boats and love to work on them, buuuuutttt I had to let go and have Matt "geeter dun" as I had little time. We had to come to terms on several technical issues and haggle a bit on the cost, but his patience, experience, and knowledge resulted in a very sano install for a reasonable price. In the end, he and his crew did an excellent job installing ballast, batteries, prop, full engine service, trailer service, and he got us on the road promptly and confidently on a Saturday morning before a 400-mile tow. The tow went without incident, and the boat ran great. Thanks Matt! 5 stars. Cameron. Very knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. Hung with us through a 2-hour shopping spree including boat stuff, life jackets, wake surfers, and wake surf gear. Gear selection was good, but not quite Overton's or iBoat (duh!). Regardless, Cameron was extremely helpful and earned his 5 stars too! Dusty. Came and went, but checked on us often to ensure that all was good. He exuded customer care. 5 stars. Last but not least, Ann. She was obviously efficient at what she does and provided concise and friendly closure to our experience at Boulder Boats. Pretty sure she went an extra yard or two with the DMV while procuring our plates and registration. Big thanks Ann, 5 stars! All in all, a pleasurable and awesome experience with a really great team of individuals. Pretty sure this is not the norm when it comes to buying a boat. We would gladly do it again!
