They've been servicing my boat for a few years now. Started with a repair I needed after the warranty was over. They did the work and made a recommendation to keep the new warranty valid and they were right. They saved me money on the next repair and since then I've gone to no one else.
Took my boat in to CBMS after issues with another shop, somehow they managed to fix every mistake and make it run like new! Appreciate the honest and quick service, will definitely recommend!
Ive had my boat services at CBMS since late 2009. My first experience was with my port outdrive needing repairs due to a manufacturer defect after the warranty; this required a new u-joint, bearing, and a bellow. Due to the defect, they recommended replacing the bellow annually to active a 1-yr warranty. Thankfully I followed their recommendation, as every year the Port needed the same repair due to water intrusion. Yes, the manufacturer took care of most the bill! However, after 2 yrs of repeated water damage and proof ther... read more
We have used Commencement Bay Marine Services (the same people that formally worked at Olympic Boats) for some years now. We have always found Vonnie and the team to be exceptionally helpful and friendly. The repairs have been reasonable and thorough, and we felt we were in good hands.
I have been using CBMS for several years now; Vonnie and her team have always been so helpful and friendly! Never have to question the repairs because they keep you so involved in the process. Truly feel like i'm in good hands with them!!
They totally accommodated us with no appointment when we decided to have our boat loaded one day early.
response to "Ripped Me Off" – This was an unfortunate occurrence where the engine leaks were corrected as requested while the hull leak (which could only be found while in the water) could not be discovered on a trailered boat. The majority of cost could have been avoided by not leaving the boat in the water for a week with out an operating bilge pump. The vessel left CBMSI with a non operating bilge pump. Under no circumstances would we ever want a customer unhappy and it is unfortunate that this customer is upset. Our goal... read more
Ripped me off – I took my boat there and told them to give it a checkup to make sure I wasn't going to have any leaks this season. They charged me about $1000 (<$50 for parts) when they found something that was potentially a leak. When I put the boat in the water, it leaked like crazy (it hadn't leaked at all before their "repair"). I took it back and they told me they wouldn't have found this one because they'd have had to put it in the water. Well, I figured for $1000, they'd have done what they had to do to make sure it d... read more
Commencement Bay Marine Services – I had the exact opposite experience. Vonnie (formerly with Olympic Boat Centers) was very kind and helpful! I called to get my boat winterized and she went thru several different packages and advised me of the best package to fit my needs. The service was done in a timely manner and everyone was FANTASTIC! I have found my new service center!
