Fred’s Marine is amazing!!! They are always prompt with their services that they provide. They are willing to help you in any way they can. I highly recommend them for your boating needs. Their customer service is excellent. Heather is so friendly and there to help you in any way she can.
I have been a customer at Freds for many years. The quality of work is outstanding. They always make sure any issue found is explained and a fair assessment of repairs given.Their staff is friendly and go the extra mile to be helpful. They make you want to return for future needs.Overall a great place to work with.
Also received great service at Freds. Had a repair with at least $1200 cost. Fred modified the part being replaced so it would work like new. Saved us hundreds. Modified part has worked flawlessly for last few summers. Freds does all our work.
Freds did a great job. Since I was leaving town for a few days, Freds let me bring the boat in early. Turns out that they were able to get to it early and completed the work quickly. They had all the parts in stock vs. other mechanics which have had me wait weeks (supposedly for parts), after I would drop off the boat. Freds was fast and I felt the price was very reasonable. The quality of the work was top notch. Highly recommend.
Super fast and close to my home. There are still very well priced. Look forward to having my boat in there many years to come
This is the place you need to go. While I was there buying a boat, I got to see how well the whole bunch interacted with their customers. It is like a family. Wonderful experience.
I was completely satisfied with the excellent service I received at Freds Marine. They were able to find the leak in my very old boat and repair it in AZ very timely manner. This is by far the best marine repair shop I have used. The people at the front desk are very knowledgable AZ and helpful. I will definitely use them for all my boat needs.
My experience with Freds was great. Andrew and Rich were essential in making my experience a true joy!!! With my out of the ordinary requests they brainstormed with me to get er done, (which I really enjoyed).Your front end even answers my calls with my name, which feeds my ego .Id definitely recommend Freds to any one with boat needs. Thank everyone!!!!! Greg Freeman
The team at Fred’s does an amazing job! I’ve taken my boat to a few different places and always end up coming back to Fred’s.
Didnt buy my boat from Freds and havent been spending two grand a year having them service it either. However when trying to leave town needed to pull off a bent prop (literally a 5 minute job) that I didnt have the tools for. The shop that has been taking my money every year for service couldnt find time for me in a pinch. Guess who made time? Freds did!!!Guess who will do my service in the future? Freds!!Seriously I get everyone is busy and everyone wants their stuff pushed to the front of the line but I can appreciate someone who has been in my shoes and understands that you cant drive your whole family to the Gorge knowing the prop is trashed.I love when someone makes the decision easy for you.Thank you Fred!
Purchased a 2021 Supreme from Fred’s this year. The process was seamless and easy. Service has been excellent, with Kip and the team doing everything they can to make the ordering/purchasing process stress free. The boat turned out great. Grateful to have an exceptional dealer standing behind our purchase. Hit up Fred’s for any of your boating needs...you won’t be disappointed.
These guys are Rockstars, my boat was down and had a trip planed on Friday. Thursday at 1 I called them and explained it was for my daughters birthday and their response was bring it now and youll be the next boat in the shop. Had it fixed in under an hour and on my way. Cant say enough good about them and actually caring about their customers. Thank you so much, you dont know how much it meant to me.
My wife and I could not be more impressed with our experience working with Freds Marine. My wife and I made the decision to purchase a new boat that will fit our current and future family. We shared our hopes and fears with Kip and he set us up with a test ride complete with letting the kids surf behind to make sure we werent just happy with the look of the boat, but also the performance. I mentioned our fears which pertained to large waves at bear lake. To alleviate this, Kip created the largest waves he could and drove straight through. We loved the look and performance and were then able to review color samples and changed our minds multiple times. despite our many changes, Kip always smiled and today we are the proud owners of a new Centurion Ri245. Thank-you to Kip and Andrew and Fred at Freds marine. We appreciate their patience and focus!
Fred’s was super willing to help me out schedule and price wise on a used boat purchase from a previous customer they worked with. The motor had a warranty issue/other issue I wasn’t aware of at purchase time. They were super helpful, knowledgeable, and I would highly refer them.
I traveled from Idaho falls to deal with Fred’s marine. They had the best prices and friendliest people. Even though they typically don’t deal with tiller handle motors they got my new mercury ordered and installed with no issues. Thanks to Jaden and the rest of the team.
Very happy with our boat purchase and service from Freds Marine. We just picked up our new Centurion, the team at Freds (Jaden & Kip) were awesome to work with every step of the way. They were super helpful and patient as we decided on the boat all the way through the purchase process. Even after getting the boat they continue to help with minor issues as well as with helping us to dial in the perfect wave. We would 100% recommend getting your next boat from Freds or even having your current boat serviced at Freds. If you want a Centurion, they are for sure the dealer to work with in Utah. Great experience, great team. Thanks!
Fred is an outstanding individual and will go the extra mile for you. I’ve had personal experience where something was not right with my boat after it was in the shop for weeks, Fred personally came to my house to fix the issue while my boat was in the driveway.The shop is also nice I’ve bought a ton of products from them.
What a great experience. I took my boat in after sitting in the garage for ten years to get all the fluids changed and the engine gone through. They had the boat done fast and all worked great. Thank you Freds
FRED’s is now my “go-to” marine repair and service shop. Their customer service and frequent communication with me regarding some major boat repairs on my custom salt water outboards was above and beyond! They did the job right. I’ve used other boat shops in the area and Fred’s is by far the best in customer service and communication. I wouldn’t hesitate to refer someone to Fred’s. Be prepared to wait a little- they are very busy, but it’s no wonder! They do a great job, and they do it right.
Freds Marine service department has been great to work with. They have always repaired my boat right the first time, on time and their prices have been very fair. I also really appreciate the great communication from Heather while my boat is in the shop she has been fantastic to work with! I highly recommend them!
Everyone at Fred’s goes above and beyond every time I work with them. There is nobody in the state I would rather do business with. Service, parts, supplies, recreation gear; I am happy to trust Fred’s with all my needs. This is a shop built on integrity and taking care of their customers. Thank you Fred, Heather, and everyone on the amazing Fred’s Marine team. You made my day today!
Fred’s Marine has serviced our boats for years. Always fair. Always on time. The staff is friendly and professional. I’ll keep going there; maybe you should consider them as well.
Love Fred’s Marine! We’ve been using their service for the past 5 years and are extremely happy with the price and value. While other boat shops in town acts like it’s an inconvenience to schedule your service, we’re always greeted with a smile at Fred’s. Love this place!
Boat runs better than ever after Fred’s serviced it. They took great care of me warrantying my alternator.
The people down at Fred’s are awesome. Especially Heather, she kept me up to date on my repairs and kept everything running smoothly for me. She is Amazing.Of course Fred was great as well. He kept me updated when Heather was in training. So awesome.Cant say enough about Fred’s Marine professionalism and expertise in always having an answer to a question to there outstanding techs and front office.Support local businesses.
Fred’s has super knowledgeable staff and they are always willing to help. We appreciated our on water demo, so we could get up to speed quickly with all the boat’s features. We love our boat and we will be buying another one from Fred’s in the future.
Freds Marine has been awesome to work with, super fast turnaround time. Dropped my boat off to have my ulterra fixed, an hour later I was picking the boat up. Both times Ive had my boat in there theyve got it fixed quick.
Excellent technical expertise. Courteous and prompt service.
We purchased a 2021 17.5 Tracker from Fred’s Marine this year. It took a little longer to be built due to COVID than expected. Fred’s Marine did very good at keeping us updated on the progress. Once it arrived they prepared it for delivery very quickly so we could go fishing.
Amazing service department, Heather will get you taken care of and they are so good at updating you! Will be taking my boat back for future service! 10/10 would recommend! Their prices are fair and they are very honest and easy to work with!
Excellent service and can already tell a difference on how the boat runs. They where able to save me some money and fix/cleaned up some parts. Differently recommend!
Great place to buy a boat. Worth the extra drive past another dealer to get great service and down the earth high character people to work with. Not to mention better price offer right out of the gate. I believe these guys are in it to have you as a long time customer rather than get what they can the first time.I have had a grestvexperience working with them on some concerns (nothing major...mostly ceramic coating issues) so far. I will update if anything changes but love this dealership and the people so far!
My entire family absolutely loves Freds Marine!!! We have been lifelong customers and will always take our boats there for service. As a non-mechanically inclined gal, the staff there is always so great to explain things to me, offer suggestions and make sure I get the BEST possible prices! I havent taken lil boat out yet after her recent service, but I am completely confident in her reliability after Freds Marine worked their magic 💚❤💛
Buying stuff in todays market is tough. Lack of supply, lack of staffing, etc. But when you find something that youve been shopping for, nation-wide, then it seems like a sales person should, ideally, make it as simple as possible. Especially nowadays, and especially if you take the time to explain that youre in Texas and the boat you want -- the only one like this in the USA!! -- is in Utah.Its never been easier, thanks to technology, to pay for stuff. Credit cards, PayPal (and others), etc. have greatly simplified ones ability to get money to a seller. But when you encounter somebody who is either ignorant, or is taking instruction from an ignorant (or maybe just lazy, apathetic supervisor), none of that matters, and the deal dies.Rather than being a can-do sales person, J. B. at Freds Marine was, unfortunately, a no-can-do. And Im posting this review because I have spent > 20 hours hunting for boats, and so another 15 minutes writing this review might save somebody the frustration and failure of dealing with J.B.Ive bought tractors (Kubota, from Barlow in KY), cars (BMW of Nashua, NH), and houses (various states) via Wire Transfer. This is a process wherein you obtain from the seller their address, phone, bank name and account number, and bank ABA routing number. You, the buyer, then provide your bank with this information, and the amount of funds to be transferred, and then the transfer is made, usually the same day if you request the transaction before the cutoff, typically noon to 2pm.This process does NOT mean that you then have access to the sellers money, J.B. That is a ridiculous and false statement. It is by FAR the safest way to pay. Safer and faster than cashiers checks (which scammers love to use by the way), and doesnt invoke a merchant fee like a credit card transaction.Using UShip, I found a hauling outfit who would pick up this boat for me, and deliver it to me in the Texas Hill Country. But they had a very tight timeline. I explained this to J.B., and just got no-can-do and bogus info in reply. Sure, its just a $26k boat, and thats not a big deal these days. But its a big deal that I spent my time trying to make this happen, and J.B. and perhaps his finance person at Freds sank my 2021 Tahoe T16.I would give J.B. one star, but he was kind enough to send me quite a few pictures of the boat a couple of days ago. Thats where his effort ended.
Freds Marine is the best of the best boat shop in Utah! Great customer service along with a friendly helpful staff..... thanks for a great experience Kip and team we love our new Centurion!!!
Jaden was one heck of a salesperson. He was very helpful with helping us order the boat of our dreams and taking what we were saying and equating that into what we could put on the boat. Great experience all around
I would definitely recommend Freds when looking to buy a boat. First time boat owner and they answered all my questions anytime of the day. I can text them anytime I need help and they are always quick to respond. Even after the purchase. I don’t think you will find better service.
Quick service in and out. Friendly and knowledgeable.
Very dependable service, a company that you can trust with your boat. They changed my impeller and did it timely and was great to work with the people from Fred’s who offered great communication skills and overall fast results!
I felt a genuine concern on their part with my problems. Brian and Heather are both great.
I bought a wakeboard rope here two weeks ago, our first time throwing it in the water I found that one of the strands of rope was cut/broken. I went right back to the store with my receipt, and they said they couldn’t do anything to help me at the time because they would need to call Hyperlite first. It’s now been a week and no one has called me back. I called Hyperlite myself and in about three minutes they were sending me a new rope and said they would call Fred’s and tell them how warranty customer service should work.I would dare buy anything else here.
THANK YOU!!! Heather and Kip at Fred’s Marine were wonderful! They were helpful at getting my boat scheduled and it looked great after it was shrink wrapped and winterized. They were also very helpful at recommending an indoor storage facility with super friendly people. Morgan Boat Storage. Ellison at Morgan was super friendly.I’m excited to get our boat out on the water next season! Thanks for the great work!!
Excellent service and friendly staff. I’ve been going here for years and they always take care of me.
If You want excellent service and parts with your Centurion Boat. The only place in Utah for that is Fred’s Marine.
They are a great group of professionals, I trust them to keep my older boat running like new!
I always enjoy my experiences at Fred’s Marine. Great people.....it like going home to old friends.
Fred and Brian are great! They have always been helpful and informative. Im so grateful to have them as my local boat shop.
On time, their communications were informative and we understood the whole process..We would certainly return to Freds
I was disappointed. They only repair newer boats? Not all of us can afford a newer one! We need places that take care of the rest of us!!
I have taken my boat to Freds twice now for repairs. Each time was an outstanding experience! They actually fit me in one time after being so upset and pulling my boat from another shop who had it over month and hadnt even looked at it! Appointments are critical with Freds though because they are in high demand. Also the girl at the counter Heather was so great to work with! She was knowledgeable, friendly and kept in touch with the details of my repair. I appreciated her outstanding customer service. Freds is my go to place forever now when I need service!
I loved that I could set up my appointment on textThey just texted me all the detail during the whole visitThey were so great to work with and explained everything so well
We were very impressed with the service we experienced at Fred’s. They seem to know boats inside and out and we had many questions and they patiently answered them all. Heather, at the front desk is boat savvy and we were thankful for her help in understanding what repairs our boat need. We haven’t taken the boat out yet to see how it runs, but feel confident the problems are fixed and Fred’s will stand behind their work. An absolutely positive experience so far.
Freds is a real boat shop for people who need boat repair, parts or service. They have only ever succeeded in every way for me. Ive used them for over a decade to get what I need for my boats
GREAT SALES EXPERIENCE! ANDREW MADE THE PROCESS QUICK AND EASY...WILL BE BACK TO SEE ANDREW WHEN IM READY TO UPGARDE.
Terrific friendly place to take your boat.
These guys are amazing. We will never take our boat anywhere else!
The people at Fred’s were very helpful and the work was done quickly. I will look forward to working with them in the future.
Awesome- friendly service- accommodating for us out of town customers.
Fred’s Marine is an excellent Family owned marine dealership with a very experienced and friendly staff. I dealt with Kip Ames a few years ago when purchasing the boat and he was super knowledgeable and friendly and this past month have had the pleasure to work Heather Walsh in service and she’s also super helpful, responsive and a great communicator with the warranty and recall issues we had. In my experience they are one the best dealerships around from the purchase to ownership and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking purchase or maintain boats or marine products.
Freds provides top notch service, and its always a pleasure bringing my work to them to get it done right the first time.
Fred is and has always been fantastic to work with. He meets his commitments, he’s knowledgeable, and communicates without talking down to people. He handled a difficult repair and dealt well with my insurance company.
Easy to work with, bent over backwards to make things right when we had issues with our New Tracker boat. Have enjoyed working with them.
Couldnt of asked for a better experience. I dealt with Andrew there. Provided me all the info I needed. Responded to my numerous calls and questions. Boat showed up early. Paperwork was completely ready for me when I picked it up. Walked me through all the different features of the boat Excellent experience. Thank you Andrew.
Always great service at a fair price, I wouldn’t take my boat anywhere else
Freds Marine is without a doubt the BEST and for me, the only place to go for anything that has to do with Water and Fun. Brian helped me with our SR-238 2 years ago and still returns our phone calls and always more than willing to help us out. Im sad to see Fred retire, but Freds Marine will not lose a step with Brian.Excellent Company, Excellent People, Excellent Service.
Best around. They have always gone out of their way to help with my boating questions and repairs.
They always do a great job. They shrink wrapped my boat yesterday, and it looked great. They also changed my bellows and throttle linkage, and now my boat has zero leaks. Theyre a great local shop.
Kip and Andrew were great to work with! very Patient with all my many questions and they were very fair on price as well. Heather was very helpful with warranty registration too. I would definitely recommend their service to anyone looking for a new boat/motor purchase!
Awesome experience and great service! We are fist time boat owners and the staff at Freds marine went above and beyond. Kip and team took the time to make sure we were comfortable and made the entire process stress free and easy.
These guys are the best! They always are willing to go the extra mile to help you out in anyway that they can. They treat you like family, and do everything they can to get you on the lake!Id name drop a bunch of their team but really dont want to leave anyone out. And you can talk to any of them and theyll get you taken care of.Best guys in town
I bought my boat from Freds and have it serviced there. I dont think any boat will be 100% issue free, and mine wasnt, but the staff at Freds has taken care of everything and made sure I am happy with my purchase. I have faith in their service department to take care of any maintenance and issues that arise. What I appreciate most though us the level of communication. I really like the ability to receive updates and communicate through txt msg.
Wouldnt take my boat anywhere else. They always do a great job, and have went above and beyond to make sure everything is working as it should be.
After dealing with Germaine Marine for over a month trying to get them to get parts for me. Each of the 4 times i called it was the same story. who are you? what do you need? we will call you when we get what you need/ we will send you an e-mail when we find your part.In one day i went up to Freds marine, talked to Fred himself and had the issue delt with for 1/3 the price i was expecting, and had the part in 4 days later with a fresh tutorial from Fred on how to install it myself. so happy in fact i bought a new surfboard from them as well!i am sold on this place! customer service was amazing! i will forever be a loyal customer to Freds marine!
Freds is the only place to go if you have a boat, need parts, repairs, gear, or questions concerning anything marine.
Had motor issues with boat and Freds got me fixed quickly and boat runs better then ever has. They are very friendly and explain the whole service ticket to you making sure you understand all that was done and have no questions. Wont take it anywhere else EVER.
Fred service department as well as the overall team gave Superb service and follow up. It is absolutely refreshing to work with and know that you can rely on their team to support you in the commitment of purchasing a Very expensive and technically high performance Boat that may need servicing.They were very competent and willing to commit to making things right with my boat so I can get back on the lake.!!!Thank you!!
Sales associates are very knowledgeable about the products they carry and happy to answer any questions. The service department is great. They provide estimates of all services prior to completing repairs. Repairs are completed in a timely manner and our boat is always returned in excellent condition (no oil smudges, spills, or partially reassembled parts). We highly recommend Freds Marine for all of your boating needs.
Great customer service at the front desk!! Needed an extra Hand Lifting my boat off the Hitch when I dropped it off for shrink wrap. They had someone there with a forklift, before I got back out to my truck!! For a moment....I felt like there never was a PANDEMIC! Thanks for the Help!!
Freds marine is like no other dealer out there! From purchasing our boat to servicing it over the years, I am so completely satisfied! Fred himself has personally been involved and even looked over the sale, delivery, and servicing, which is amazing. Top notch sales and service! I would not go anywhere else for marine equipment and service! Friendly and very competent staff and always with a smile! Freds Marine is the pinnacle for which others strive for! Thanks Fred and Staff for just an amazing experience! Life customer here!
Had an excellent experience dealing with these guys. Purchased our first boat from them and they were all nothing short of awesome and have continued to be great after the purchase. Hope to have the chance to purchase with Fred’s Marine again. Thanks
Fred’s Marine took care of us! We purchased a pontoon boat in May and completely enjoyed the purchasing process. Jaden was very helpful and answered all our questions quickly.We used the boat several times a week. Pontoons are so much fun!The boat a mechanical problem in July, and being first time boat owners, we were weary and frustrated. The shop tried their best to get the boat to replicate what it was doing on the water in the shop, but to no avail. Heather and her husband took our boat out on the water on their own time and Fred took the boat out again a few days later to try and figure out the problem. They were patient with us even when we got frustrated. You could tell they wanted the problem fixed as badly as we did. Good news! They fixed the problem and even fixed our boat cover that had a rip. We didn’t even mention that it was torn. It’s these little things that make a big difference. The boat is running like a dream! We would happily purchase another boat through Fred’s Marine and will continue to take it there for service! Thank you for being thorough and helping us out! By the end of the season we will be experienced boat owners
Outstanding service at an affordable price.
Freds Marine is the best. Ive never had a company so willing to try and help with anything they can. They were an immense help when I bought my Tracker and their service is top notch with high level, competent mechanics who tell you whats up without trying to siphon extra work. Great business.
I don’t usually do reviews but I was so pleased with Fred’s I’d like to drop a line or two that might help someone make a decision on where to do business. Earlier this year I was informed by Fred that Volvo had recalled the ECM for my boat for a software update. There was a lot of back and forth with Volvo (4 times) with said ECM because Volvo was installing incorrect software. Fred got it all sorted out with a lot of legwork and didn’t charge me. They even fixed an interior item as well. I’d highly recommend their services to anyone!
Heather is so awesome to work with. I am so grateful for her knowledge and expertise. She really knows her stuff and is a great asset to Freds!
It was my first time wrapping my boat ever and Freds staff stepped me through. Thank you. And thanks for the affirmation of the way I care for my boat and doing the same as you wrapped it.
I was directed to Fred’s Marine by Centurion when I had a warranty issue. Not only did they fix that issue on the first service call they have, In the many times I’ve been back, been attentive, quick and thorough. I live over an hour away from Fred’s Marine and drive past many dealers and repair shops on my way to their shop but I only trust them to work on my boat. I HIGHLY recommend Fred’s Marine.
Winterizing my boat again this year and as always, Freds Marine provided fast and reliable service! I wouldnt take my boat anywhere else... they are simply the best.
I have know Fred for 25 years. Very nice and helpful. Clean store and shop. Has always treated me nice. Very fair and honest prices.
Kip was extremely friendly and was open about other brands of boats. It made the buying experience easier. I have recommended friends over to him he has sold boats to 3 of them & it’s only been a week. Fred’s is just well priced and informative.
Ive had Freds Marine work on my boats multiple times and I have been happy with their work. I had some problems today that Kipp went above and beyond helping me to get fixed.
I love working with Fred’s Marine. Heather is a great advisor and is very professional and quick to respond! Thank you for all of your help!
Its expensive to own a boat for sure when you have repairs no matter where you go. Freds Marine might be more expensive than some others, but they know what needs to be done and do it right.
Great friendly staff. Quick turn winterizing and wrapping my boat. Only place I will take my boat. Ask for Heather.
As easy as a process could be. Jaden was great. I will pass 3 other dealers just to come back to Fred’s
Recently purchased a used boat from them. The entire purchasing experience was fantastic. Upon purchase and after taking it out twice I noticed something that needed attention. The issue was user error on my behalf upon further review. Since it was there they reviewed the service history and noticed some things which had not been serviced so they took care of those items at no charge. Every time I go in there for something they are consummate professionals.
As a new boat owner with no previous boating experience, the kind and helpful way the staff at Freds Marine advised me as I acquired the necessary equipment, made all the difference. Knowledgeable, considerate, ready to offer guidance. Highly recommended.
