Anyone have any experience with that kind of new boat repair shop off of County Line Road in Madison? I used to use Dry Creek Marine in Decatur since they were right down the road from work but now that I work in Triana/Madison this place is the most convenient.
Yeah, that's them. I really like the large indoor facility they have but I really haven't heard anything about the quality of their service.
Have not used them but did give them a call a while back. They were very informative over the phone and answered all of my questions. The next time I needed work, I planned to take it to them. Most of the places will not give you the time of day over the phone.
That's one of few things I was able to gather about them. While searching for reviews yesterday, I found an article from about a year ago that was published on AL.com. The owner said he planned to run his shop different than other places in terms of customer interaction/communication and having avg turn around times of 3 business days for moderate level work.Quote:

My only complaint was that they seemed slow and once buried my paperwork on their desk resulting in me not being notified when the job was done and delayed getting my boat back by a couple of weeks. I'm actually not even sure they are still in business as its been probably an entire year since I drove by.
They are no longer on the Beltline, do not think they are even in business anymore.Quote:

Cool. That's a business idea I like. Perfect for my situation where my boat still runs good enough to use so I just need to bring it in when they are ready to work on it and I don't lose time on the water.Quote:

Like some others have said, good people to deal with and you don't have to wonder when they are going to work on your boat with the appointment set-up. I have used them and will again
Thanks for the reviews guys. I'll definitely be trying TVM out whenever I decide to get my boat worked on.
