Very kind and knew where to find the parts I was asking about. It's a wonderful place to find used parts, and even hard to find parts. He had exactly what I needed, and I was able to fix my sled and ride the same day. I will return for future repairs.
Totally just trying to find a place to get my boat fixed and called them and they were closed. instead of not answering the phone this guy picked up and decided the best course of action would be to be rude and then hang up in my face. Please find someone else to fix your boat
Ron's a crazy vato and i like that.
Ron has worked on a few projects for me and has always taken time to explain things and get me back in business.
He winterized our boat last fall it ran great this spring.
I have a fleet of older snowmobiles. This is where you want to go for service and repair for older machines. Ron knows his stuff as well as has many hard to find parts on site. He even comes and picks up my machines and drops them off for a small fee. Works with my schedule and he is very flexible to make it work. Extremely fair pricing and gives me options for new and used parts. Can’t say enough good things about this place. I have been going here for few years now. Nothing but positive experiences for myself and my friends. One of the coolest shops and yards I have ever seen. Old school experience. Go here with confidence.
Ron is friendly, willing to talk about his findings, etc- great! As a person, I like him. As a business, it was a bust for me. “All set, mud daubers made a nest, I cleared out”… nope, overheating persisted… so I took back and let him know upon the Sunday dropoff that I needed it Thursday…he heard me. I called for status two days in a row…. No call back. When I picked it up it was not looked at. Actually , it was looked at, as in, “he was confused on which ski was overheating, last week it was sitting on the other side of the trailer.” Really?? I have two jet skis. One is a 800 CC and the other is a 1200. They are both Yamaha wave runners and both the model year 2000. So Ron start telling me the other JetSki is overheating. He was adamant it was. He took me to the back and showed me the bilge line that runs to the backside of the jet pump and show me the tear. That’s a bilge line that pulls water out through the suction of the jet. Has nothing to do with overheating. I did a lot of research on the Yamaha WaveRunner. My research showed that the catalytic converter will break apart and have to be deleted or replaced at some point. It’s not if, but when- at some point you will experience overheating…When I told him this, he said that there’s no way. Would not take any of my input. I also had a slippage at takeoff. He told me I had the wrong size pitch prop. Well, he was wrong on that, too. There is a kit they sell to fix that problem. Essentially caulk is put in the crevices that create cavitation (from poor engineering) and that wears off in time. I fixed the JetSki by removing the catalytic converter and putting in a delete plate. I ordered my “cavitation” kit. I have zero years experience as a jet ski mechanic. I fixed my own. I’m certain Ron has shining moments, this was not one of them. Again, good guy, but not my shop! My name is George, I approve this message.
Ron is a lier disrespectful & a cheat. He reneged on a deal he made with me said the price was too low at pick up time. Answering my texts with one word like yup & nope. Tried to grossly overcharge me for other junk. Cannot be trusted. Will screw you anyway he can . losey business man selling junk. His place is an eyesore and he is a descraceful person
Was late Saturday afternoon and called and Ron had part but closing before we could get there. He went a step further and met us at a spot to get part on his personal time. Part worked and we were able to keep snowmobiling Saturday night & Sunday. Saved our weekend, was very professional and knowledgeable about what we needed even traded pics via text. If only there were more business owners like Ron. Big Thanks again!
TERRIBLE place and service, owner is extremely rude. They don’t stand behind their work. Can’t believe this guy is still in business. Basically a junk yard and eyesore to anyone driving by or living near this place. Don’t wast your time visiting here.
Warning! I bought an used outboard from Ron that he said "runs good". But when i put it on my boat it would stall giving it anymore than idle throttle. I took it back and he said he would fix it and bring it back in a few days. I had to go get it so we could still have some use this summer. I had to put my old motor back on. 6 weeks lost of boat use. He is a crook and was super rude. Do not buy anything from Ron.
