Excellent experience at Interstate Marine. Dennis is a honest, down to earth straight shooter. Dropped my rig off to have motor diagnosed, wouldn't start, like it had no fire. Had my boat back in less than 30 days. Reasonable pricing, good communication. Took it to the lake and had no issues. Highly recommend Interstate Marine. Thanks Dennis.
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!
Great place to take your boat to get work done. Dennis excellent person a super mechanic did a super job for me every time I’ve taken my boat to his shop.. I recently took my boat to his shop for a problem I thought was a problem with my lower unit. I told Dennis what was happening with my boat engine. He ask “did…
Dennis is the best... I drive 1.5 hours for his expertise. 5 star rating is legit!
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!
Went in because my boat wouldn't go into drive. He ended up finding out why and a whole bunch of other stuff that my last mechanic did wrong. My boat has been running so rough for so long that I guess I just got used to it. Now it's so smooth that it's like having a brand new boat again. 10 out of 10 would recommend. Best in town.
They did an incredible job with our boat! They ensured we knew the issue and the cost to fix it. He stayed in contact with us throughout the repairs. Extremely professional and easy to talk to. We’ll definitely go back if we encounter anymore issues with our boat!
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…
Dennis did one heck of a job for a very reasonable price, very cheap, the turn around was very quick , he was very easy going and patient especially with my 20 thousand questions.....i really recommend him, he knows his job and offers quality work
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.
I went to see Dennis with the recommendation of a friend of my wife. I had an issue that I’ve been trying to deal back and forth with insurance. I took it to a shop in Northwest Austin and little work was done and their labor/parts prices were high. Having to take care of the matter on my own now, I decided to make…
Dennis installed a part (steering actuator) he was unfamiliar with and the outcome was a smooth steering system with no difficulty compared to before install. My rating overall work he performed is 5 stars..not 4
Great service great prices I won’t take my boat anywhere else. I’ve recommended interstate boat to all my boating friends and anyone on the lake I see having a bad day. Dennis and his guys are great 5 star all the way
Great experience, they went above and beyond to help us out
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 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…
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…
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…
