Anybody in the Bay area have a preferance to what dealer you would reccommend for service ? Boat was purchased in Tracy but looking for something closer to the San Jose area . <BR>Thanks

The guys at Central Valley are knowledgeable and helpful (parts and advise). I have not had them work on my boat partly because when I need something done the wait time is too long and partly because I don’t mind doing my own wrenching. I bought my boat used, so I can’t play the “home dealer” card to get priority service. Another Sanger owner told me the folks at Topside Marine were ex-Central Valley people and that they are pretty good. Again, just what I’ve heard, no direct experience.

JTW - Please feel free to give me a call and we will be happy to service your boat. We are in San Jose and specialize in wake and ski boats. 408 224 BOAT <BR>Regards, <BR> <BR>Bill <BR>Topsdie Marine

Central Valley doesn't keep the boats indoor anymore since their last shop burned. For me, this is a major factor. <BR> <BR>I have been taking my Nautique to Topside since day one. The boat is always stored inside and the service has been fast.

By the way, when CVM was out-of-service due to the fire, they were the ones to refer me to Topside Marine.

I bought my boat from Central Valley Marine and that is where I take it when I am not fixing it myself. I have always been very happy with the quality of work and prices. <BR> <BR>They are a VERY busy shop, however. For scheduled stuff I always try to schedule things during their slow periods. There have been a couple of times that I couldn't wait and they managed to squeeze me in, but that might have been because I have bought two boats from them and they like to keep their return customers happy. <BR> <BR> Give them a call and see what they say. I would expect that things would be getting a little bit slower for them around now.

Both topside and central valley treat you right. Saying that i take mine too topside.
