Best Outboard Motor Store Ann Arbor Near Me

Denise Hughes: Having trouble getting my refund back, been 3 weeks already. Getting the complete run around.

Tricia Bailey: Having a really difficult time dealing with this company. We dropped it off due to fuel issues and asked it to be repaired and stored last fall. Thry stated the boat had no issues and they would store it and check it in the spring. Two weeks ago we were told our boat was ready and fine, no issues, and they just needed two weeks to deliver it. That was yesterday and it wasn't delivered. No call. No show. We called to check on it and one store didn't tell theater store we wanted the boat. So they didn't check it as they said, no one tested it. No one ran it. So they tried to "pull it out of the bar"today. They pulled it out of the barn and stated the batteries are dead and they didn't disconnect them and they didn't run a charger. I don't believe they ever even checked it last year and they are charging fees for services not performed. They didn't use proper storing methods and no one knows why they keep telling us service was done when it clearly never was. So now we can pick up the boat but it doesn't run or pay them to replace the batteries. Completely irresponsible. If I wanted my boat to sit outside and rot all winter, I could have left it in my driveway and saved $1000.

Dan Feeney: Bought a outboard motor from Wonderland. Great service... From the sales guys to the service dept it was fantastic. It was worth the 45 minute drive. Thanks to the staff for very fast service.

Diane Gee: 5 STAR EXCELLENCE!2nd time renting a pontoon here and it was an out of the park experience again! They have a new fleet of immaculate boats, and the price is worth every penny. The staff was super friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. They go over the boat with you and make sure you have no questions left unanswered. Our pontoon ran like well tuned powerhouse.The chain is again accessible under the new bridge by the State Launch eliminating the need to negotiate the long narrow canal. We made Zukey Lake and back to Portage in no time; although I suggest only seasoned boaters try that long of a journey on a busy weekend - but there is no need, Portage is a lovely lake, with all you need right there and lovely sights!Later? When I thought I lost my glasses the owner immediately sent his wonderful guys out to check hours after we were home. LOVE this place! 3

Tim Iovan: Very nice people that work there.....filled up and forgot my credit card/money.....they said,, no problem, went back to my lakehouse and brought back monies and gave the boys a nice tip for the fill up......

Earl Stewart: Rented a pontoon for the day. Beautiful boat, quick check in, informative boat and navigation instructions. Birthday day cruise for 7 family members. A Good time was had by all.

amber calo: Great service. Friendly

Gary Trowbridge: Staff was great! Had a lot of fun on the lake for the day! Definitely plan on renting from them again! But killing me with this light anchors. Get some with Heft! Definitely will be back. Everyone was super nice and informative.

Luc Tassin: Their staff was extremely helpful even though they didn't work on my brand of motors there, and they offered some suggestions on the issue as well as where else to take it!

Alek K: Honest and attentive.

Ian Hay: They had my boat in and out of the repair shop in two days. Carb repair. Boat is running great now. Very happy with the service.

Joe O'Connell: We bought our new Avalon from Gary, and couldn't be happier with the service that we received. Gary was great from the start, and had a low-pressure approach. We also worked with Ralph to wrap up titling and some other details. He was, and continues to be, nothing short of amazing. This is the place to go - can't recommend them highly enough!

Willy Penn: Rented a boat here, all went well.

Serenity Babcock: The staff is so helpful and polite!

dillon kelly: Company and employees are the meanest people ever do have such a good job around happy people these guys are horrible they will s am you for money for a already damaged boat

Phillip Morris: Company and employees are rude to the max they did not go through a walk through with our boat they gave us a map and showed us a map but they are trying to scam us out of a repair for a boat for damage that never happened

Amanda Maldonado: Horrible experience they yelled at us from the beginning with parking they threatened us ..employees are horrible and treat customers horrible from start to finish horrible horrible scam scam scam people are a scam for money

Saman Kafaei: I was very pleased with their service. The Pontoon we got was extremely clean and great time. Nick was very professional and great person. I would recommend Wonderland to anyone I have done a lot of boat rental in Michigan and other states wonderland by far better than all.

Brian “I'm BAK” K: Not a whole lot of help! Couldn't be bothered to look up a part i needed.

Adam Rasor: Great boats to rent!

Greg A: Can't say enough good things about the knowledge, quality of service and experiences that I have had at Bernie's. I have worked on a 1983 Mercury outboard over the years, gotten parts for a 2004 Optimax, a 2005 Yamaha HPDI, gotten solid advice and supplies for all of the motors and always with a smile and the best intentions!Five stars aren't enough!

Brad Seelinger: First time going to Bernies. I was a little skeptical pulling in and walking around the shop. Appearance, cleanliness and organization are not at the top of their priority chart. But don't let that fool you!- Wonderful people- Good communication- Fair prices- Overall great service!Not only would I recommend, I will use them again in the future.

Henry Edwads: Love this place and the staff

Michael Burnett: From the initial phone call I knew we were in great hands.

Robert Buckwheat: Great place they have most everything you need the lady's are very helpful

Tiffany Martin: Tina is very sweet and knowledgeable.

Nathaniel Williams: I love this shop. Great people that are very fair.

Hawgs Autoworks: Great folks

Nikk Niff: Called today because I need a boat motor serviced but then go to tell me I can't get it looked at until next month. Seems like you can't rely on local marinas to get anything done until winter then..

steven meyer: Very knowledgeable decently priced

Steve Tabaka: I am a new boat owner with lots of questions. Tina is awesome! So much boat knowledge to share!

Syed Rizvi: Hi, I just bought my first boat and I had to store somewhere, I find this place thru google. When I was reading reviews, after reading them some of them, it makes me little worry. So far those reviews came out to be wrong. I talk to Tina, she is really nice and very helpful. So far my experience is very good. Unless otherwise i will see. One thing I agree with some reviews that this place needs some TLC. LoL.

Carson Parzynski: Ive been going to bernies this summer. Ive spent about 200$ on misc things. I ended up ordering a carburetor which she told me would be in 1 /2 weeks at the latest. Ended up not coming in for more like 6 weeks!. I obviously no longer needed the part by then. I put a 100$ deposit down. She only gave me 60$ of my deposit back and lied to me staying it costs them 40$ to ship it back. Ill never go to bernies again. They could care a less about customer service. The females there are fake as hell. Ill never go back!

Benjamin Ross: Awesome place, just wish I lived closer.

John Wotring: Know their boats .

D C: I have purchased paint a couple of times.The sales person has been helpful & friendly.

David Hoerl: I was told to call here from a guy I work with who has always had good service there. The girl who answered the phone was very knowledgeable and took the time to explain a few options to solve the issue I was having.

Detroit Wrecker: Always a pleasure! I see Tina a few times a year. She REALLY knows her business!

Qqiwin: Super helpful cashier lady sadly i forget the name but would definitely recommend this place if you need any help with your boat

Bill Daugherty: Good service

Robert Gossett: Went there with a part I thought was bad. Talked to them. They said let's test the part. Results showed good. Not bad. They pulled the shop manual gave suggestions came home I fixed it. Great help THANK YOU. They will get ALL MY MAINTAINANCE WORK!

Daniel Dobbins: Knowledgeable staff, great service, full parts dept.

David Eldridge: Staff was not respectful of my property. They caused damage to my engine cover, looks like they dropped it, and never disclosed the damage. They allowed snow and ice into the boat causing damage to the carpet, even though the boat had a cover on it. Also, they left food, FOOD, in the boat.

Keith Yo: Had a older 1980 sea ray, they have kept it running great over the years. Have a newer sea ray now and they have maintained and winterized it well the past couple years.

Harley Cumming: Great place to get work done on boats

Antonio Gonzalez: Highly disappointed had to take my boat here 3 times for poor workmanship took so long to hear back from them and to fit me in was still waiting on a call still not working right they replaced my head gasket and water pump took my boat out was stuck in reverse and still not pumping water correctly they didn’t have shifter rod connected after returning a week later he assured me it was good went back out didnt shift at all controls were outa whack Was still questioning water pump Drove my boat up there next day he adjusted it again checked water pump assured me it was good now I have parts melted to my boat motor from overheatingA year later I finally figured out how these people almost cost me my boat motor. They replaced my water pump installed the parts incorrectly had my motor over heating parts melting to it. They also replaced my head gasket put the bad thermostat back in not only did they do terrible work I had to take my boat back several times and still couldn’t get it right a complete waste of so much time and 500$ now I had to do this work myself

Ron VanderMeeden: Went well was less then quoted cant go wrong there

Wessam Hashem: Tom has been a pleasure to work with. He has been patient and answered all my questions. The best part about this experience is that he saved me more than $5k after I had gotten a quote from another company.

Bob Bodrie: Angler Marine does not like to service what they sell they do very sloppy work

Bob Stockdale: Great guys and honest

Brian: Very nice boating supply store that has a big selection of parts and supplies at reasonable prices. The gentleman that helped me out with finding some parts I was looking for was very knowledgeable and curtious. He made suggestions as well as offered multiple options when I explained my boating project/upgrade that I was working on. I will definitely go back to this store when I am in the area and need another part or some advice.

Chad Roberts: Had what I needed and answered a few questions. Good guy.

A Nie: Super friendly owner!

Steve Lyles: I have not utilized their services however I called and explained my problem and they made a few suggestions for me to look at myself which helped me resolve my problem and saved me time and money. I will def give them a chance for service work on my boat

Private Account: I brought a brand new boat from this guy. Worst sales experience of my life. Place is a dump and in my opinion the guy is one of the most incompetent lying conman I have ever tried to deal with. Stayed tuned. Once some legal stuff is sorted out you will a here about my experience. I would strongly encourage anybody who is dealing with this place to go elsewhere.. you can thank me later. More to come.....

Kenneth Hays: Good service and friendly service.

jason allred: Very helpful went out of their way to find a part I needed that nobody else in the area carried.Thank you

E “Mag man” Adams: Had my boat in twice for repair this season both times I was satisfied with the service the second time I took it in for a new starter i dropped it off in the morning and by lunchtime it was done ✅ I was floored by the speed of service and the price was fair they’ve always been straight forward with me and always try to get me in and out as quickly as possible, will return for future service!

Premier Tattoo: Best of the best

N F: Great staff, great owner. Help me out so much! Didn't try to sell me but only wanted to help me get my boat fixed and on the water! Told me what to do so I could fix it myself and didn't charge me!!! No diagnosis charge anything!!! Thanks Angler Marine!!!!

Brian Johnson: Poor service. Many repairs / maintenance items they claimed to have done were not completed.

Mohamed Kaddoura: Stay. Away.Let me tell you the story of how a finishing nail is holding down the trunk of my $40,000 2020 Bayliner DX2000.For two straight years we’ve had the same issue on our boat. The latch busted and in order to hold it down (because their repair time was so long it was recommended we bring it during the off season), we used a finishing nail. After the first year, we unwrap the boat and still see the same finishing nail we put ourselves holding the latch down. After calling the Commerce location, they mentioned they could not get us in to fix it for two months and directed us to the Wixom location. We had our boat shrink wrapped and had maintenance work done with them.Ready for the kicker?We unwrap our boat an hour ago and yet again see the same finishing nail we put in now TWO YEARS AGO. They had the audacity to put on our work order that the latch was replaced. So here’s where my mind takes me after seeing no work was done, although it was listed on my work order:Wilson Marine Wixom, did you fix my issue with the alternator? Did you replace my water pump? Did you readjust my snaps for our bimini cover? It’s listed on the work order but can I trust the work was done when the simplest of issues (a simple latch) wasn’t even resolved? Am I to gamble when docking my boat in third gear because I can’t trust that you fixed the issue of the motor skipping the first two gears? Not to mention, it’s a blast when the trunk just randomly flies open when we’re driving down 75 South and when we’re on the water as well. This isn’t a 1990 piece of scrap metal. This is happening on a 2020 Bayliner that was purchased brand new.Beware of the service manager Chris at the Wixom location. I wouldn’t trust him to patch a rubber ducky let alone anything on a $40k boat.-A Very Concerned CustomerP.S. Our fish finder still tells us there’s a school of fish 20 feet below our driveway. Great work Wilson 👏

MusicChica Mia: I would've given 5 stars but they didn't actually have what I came to get. Everyone was very friendly and super helpful but I still ended up going to West Marine for the 9.9 Mercury I wanted.

Frank: Spoke to a salesman about attending the Bennington cruise and purchasing a model on site at the cruise. Wilson Marine advised me they were not doing demos at the show and I expressed disappointment, because I usually buy every new boat at a boat show Demo. I keep my boats usually 5 years and then buy new. I don’t know that I will ever do business with Wilson Marine if they don’t have the ability to demo new boats, by the way, I was looking at purchasing a Bennington QX model at the boat show.

Josh Piontek: Staff was great

Carole powell: Service people very friendly. Helped point us in the direction of getting a new cover for our boat

Gerald Zydek: Very courteous sales personnel.

Dave Moore: I've purchased two boats from them in the past and was completely satisfied. Theses days I go there for parts. The parts and service people are super helpful.

Steve Reed: Very helpful on parts.

Michael Gaujanian: Boats are cool

Ann Presley: Great place.

Sean W (SeanW_1984): Bought my first boat here it'll always hold a special place. My sales rep was Jason. Solid guy very knowledgeable with the products and services offered by Wilson Marine.

Patricia HS: I have dealt with Kristen many times over the phone and she is absolutely wonderful! She knows her stuff, she can problem-solve and she ALWAYS calls back when she says she will! She’s a delight to work with!

Todd Schroeder: Cool place

Robert M: All out of stock..

Paul B: While I have experience with boats in the past, my recent decision to buy a used pontoon has left me with many questions. I am always comfortable and confident walking into Wilson. Jim in the parts department talks through my questions and has practical recommendations and adjusts the conversation to my knowledge level. Kristen proactively called me about winterization, and walked me through what services they offer and how it works so I can plan and be prepared physically and financially.The short answer is that they proactively steer me around problems and take the worry out of boat ownership for me.

Bryan: Great sales staff. Ask for Angela.

Kazimer Mamon: Thankful for another Transport Job!

James: Helpful and knowledgeable parts and service staff. New what I needed for my 25 Mercury.

Phillip Hatfield: Very friendly and knowledgeable sales staff.
