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!
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!
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.
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
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!
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…
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.
Dennis runs a great business. He performed a carburetor tune, fixed a trailer ground wiring issue, and had his team perform a boat detail. All turned out great! The turnaround time was impressive, not to mention being early June when his business inherently gets really busy. One of the biggest areas of proof he…
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…
Great experience, highly recommend. Diagnosed and fixed problems in very short period of time. Will be back again!
Great work, boat been sitting up for years and now up am running like new. Thanks so much, quick service and was notified every step of the way.
Wow. So on my way to drop the boat off with Dennis for a tune up, my trailer driver side wheel had a blowout about 1.5 miles away from his shop on I-35. He came to my rescue and helped me with a spare in order for me to get to a tire store to get a new one. I will be using Interstate Marine and Outboard for all my…
Dennis is by far the most professional, honest and knowledgeable boat mechanic I've ever taken my boat to. I needed a new blower motor, a carb rebuild and a shifter cable adjustment for my Bayliner 175 and when I took the boat in Dennis checked everything out and gave me his opinion and estimates on the repairs…
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.
Dennis is extremely professional and is good at what he does. I took my boat in a week and a half ago and he had 6-7 boats ahead of mine and still got it back in good timing. I had some carb issues, he talked me through what he was going to be doing and explained how it worked and common stuff that happens and how…
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…
