While I have enjoyed doing business with Rutabaga in the past, toady was an example of stellar customer service! I stopped in with a rudder failure & Ian jumped into action with his tools and fixed it on the spot. Ian was delightfully friendly & helpful! It is this type of customer service that will keep me coming back for years to come! 

Business response:

Glad we could help! Ian's a good one, we'll keep him! 😉

Had a great experience at Rutabaga last weekend! Many thanks to Molly, Shannon, and Ethan for their assistance with test paddling, getting me the right gear, and loading and securing my new boat on the roof for the long ride home. Great customer service from a very friendly and knowledgeable staff. 🛶
