Dennis is an amazing guy, really takes care of his customers and listens to what issues they are having and fixes them in the best manner possible. I would recommend this place to any of my boating friends in a heart beat!
I definitely recommend Dennis and his crew for any boat needs. They did a great job fixing our old pontoon boat. Friendly professional and reasonably priced. Thank you!
I highly recommend Interstate Marine and Outboard Service. Dennis is very knowledgeable and resolved our issue. He is very efficient and curtesy. His turn around time on completion of our repair was outstanding!
Denis amazing! He’s professional, he’s personable, and he cares about quality work. In a world where so many repair shops keep you at arms length and charge you for every little thing, Interstate Boat repair harkens back to that old school idea of quality work for a fair price. He’s also in it to create a long term…
Great value and service. Dennis worked on my motor when others didn't want to and man does it run Great. I definitely recommend this company for your Marine needs. Thanks Dennis.
Bought a boat a week ago and when I took it out to the lake, it stopped working. I found Dennis on Google and after seeing so many positive reviews I gave him a call and right away he was able to help me and tell me the problems the boat had, he would always send me pictures and updates while fixing it. He left my…
I was having trouble with my boat not coming up on plane. I had tried quite a few things, finally I took it to Dennis. He was able to find all the problems and rebuilt the carbs. The boat has never run better. He is very friendly to work with and took the time to explain what he found.
Dennis was very personable and thorough throughout the process. He also sent pictures and videos via text message of what all he did. I definitely recommend if you’re having boat issues to take it to interstate!
I would Definitely recommend Dennis if you need any boat repair or maintenance. He is easy to talk to, very knowledgeable, and keeps you informed throughout the process. I received pictures of the lower unit disassembled within an hour of dropping it off! And he didn't make fun of my boat backing skills🤣
Dennis is an amazing business owner and fellow boater. Easy to communicate with, honest guy who shoots you straight no matter the scenario. Willing to look and help on small repairs before getting elbow deep and then charging you more after the fact. I have always had good luck with bringing my boat in and getting…
Amazing service and quality. Dennis helped me get my Yamaha running smooth. Very reasonable price. He kept me informed the entire time and worked quickly to get my boat back on the water.
Dennis went above and beyond, I brought my boat there 2 times for different reasons, the first time he had it fixed and ready to go before we took it camping, other places had a very long wait time... the second time we had fathers day plans and I brought it to him hoping to have it back in time, the part came in…
Called and got me in and out very quick. Had the trim seals replaced and everything works as it should. He even charged my battery for me. Very trust worthy and sent pictures of all the work being done. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for a honest mechanic with quality work.
Dennis is a great mechanic and an even better person! I bought a used boat that had sat for 3 years so I wanted him to go through the 150hp Yamaha engine and he did a great job of getting it fishing ready! He always kept me informed of what was going on and took my calls and questions with kindness, grace, and a…
The owner Dennis was professional and a pleasure to work with. He was quick and had parts in stock. Called up and was able to get repairs done the same day. Would definitely reccomend this shop to everyone. Will be coming back for all services.
I can’t say enough about Dennis and this shop. I am a first time boat owner and was hesitant on finding a place for my first boat getting serviced after sitting a few years upon purchase. I read a review online which stated Dennis had left the shop to go get a stranded customer off I-35 and I knew then the extra…
Went in for repairs, found sn9ther issue fixed everything and was straight up and honest about what needed to be done. He also finished 2 weeks ahead of schedule. I would recommend this boat tech to everyone that has a boat!!!!!
Greatly Exceeded All Expectations! They got me in the shop and quickly done a prop seal replacement and got me back out on the water. Very Pleased! Thank You!
Took my boat to Dennis as I was having issues with my motor that I just couldn’t figure out. I had him rebuild my carbs while it was there because they needed to be done. After finishing my carbs he found my issue and got it fixed. With a turnaround time of less than a week! I will definitely be bringing it back for some more upgrades and future issues
I dropped my boat because it wasn’t running right with a load on it. Dennis took care of it and did a great job, I would recommend him to anybody that needed marine repairs. Dennis also installed a fish finder for me, the install is very clean and professional.
We brought our boat toInterstate marine after It had been serviced for the past two years by a mechanic that we thought to be reliable. Unfortunately, after spending almost $900 , come to find out, he did a poor job with diagnosing why our boat wasn’t running properly . I decided to take it to Dennis and he was…
Loved having Dennis work on my boat. I read the numerous 5 star reviews and was sold before I took it in. He is very down to earth and very honest. His work was great! I needed a new starter and a tune-up on my inboard and his work was extremely fast considering I took my boat in during peak season. I was in…
Had and issue with my boat running extremely rough among other issues. I called interstate marine and Mr. Dennis listened to the issues and had me bring the boat in. Within 2 weeks they had the boat fixed. Extremely happy with work done and the constant updates on the problem being fixed.
