We took our boat to them in early April for just a tune up. On 04/6/20 we picked it up and Paid $138.69. They said it should be run great now. Mind you it was tune up because that wall all it needed! So my husband put it in the water and I have no idea what they did but it will barely run at all!! So he calls them back...oh yeah just bring it in we will look at it. So we take it back and pick it up on 05/28/20. ..That will be another $338.02 please. Ok?.. so he paid them - Really? ok. Well that would be great IF IT RAN!!! He took it out on the water and now it is 100 times worse. What are they

Probably the worst customer service and tech work I've ever experienced. There are so many things that I could elaborate about with my experience in dealing with Kaylors Marine. I can start with the rude and extremely unprofessional counter ladies, to the inexperienced shop tech, to the exceptionally high shop rates to their overall lack of interest in trying to provide a good service. However, best advice........STAY AWAY from this business.
Kaylors may respond to this review that I should have let them know of my displeasure and they would have tried to make it right. I did let them know and

They do OK work but it takes a lot of time to get your boat in and out. They have gotten away from doing any real work on boats more then changing oil.
