Bower Marine Sales

I spoke to Allen and I can say he is one of the best guys I have ever worked with. I had spoke with several other boat repair shops in the area and not one person wanted to help me. They were all extremely rude and said bring it in I'll get to you I'm 3 weeks. Not One would give me simple advice. As a business owner myself I know it's the little things I do for my customers that go a long way. Small words of advice is all it take. Not shut people out. He gave me so much advice on a minor issue I was having with my boat motor. Most companies do not give you the time of day allen had a 5 minute coversation with me and he walked me through step by step to fix my issue. I plan on having them do All my boat motor repairs. You just can't beat there customer service! Highly recommend!

Archie and Robert were great to deal with; knowledgeable and patient. They had my upgraded motor delivered, installed and tested well before delivery.

After shopping for a boat from Bower's Marine in Hagerstown last week, I ordered one Monday and I would strongly recommend to anyone needing a bass boat to go somewhere else. I put a deposit down and was told they would get the boat ready for me. Today I called and said I was ready to pick up the boat when would it be ready? The salesman who had assured me he would get the boat ready after taking my deposit informed me that he hadn't even ordered the motor yet. Then told me, he never told me he would get the boat ready, not really sure, but why would I give you money down on a boat if you weren't going to sell it to me? Needless to say I went and got my money, at least I think? it hasn't shown up in my account yet, and went to Bass Pro Shop where I ordered another one and got it in writing that it will be here on Tuesday. Thanks Archie at Bowers for flat out lying to my face. You will never have to worry about getting another penny of my money. And I hope all of my friends and family go else where as well. Please feel free to share with everyone you know.

I hit a rock with my boat in the potomac river a 40 hp mercury prop motor. I had a used lower unit that I ordered from Florida I took my boat and motor to bowers to put it together and get it running. It was June 10th I believe Archie did give me an estimate so I left a deposit and the boat/ motor. I told them that I was going on vacation July 4th weekend and I needed the boat by the 2nd of July if you can't get it done I'll take it somewhere else Archie's reply shouldn't be a problem just like the other review a bare faced lie. I call on June 29th didn't remember me or my boat problem I finally clued him in and his reply Nope it's not gonna be ready. GREAT there goes my vacation!!! At least he did have the correct parts I was able to buy those and have my friend put it together who is not a boat mechanic in 3 hours Archie and the crew had 6hours of labor sure am glad that they are incompetent.Bottom line I will never deal with this bunch again!!!

Took my offshore boat there this morning with twin outboards for them to go through and make sure that they're ready to roll in spring. I went through and told them about certain issues I thought should be addressed and changed out. The tech (I call him that loosely as he might as well been the floor cleaner) interrupted me with random part pricing that was 4x more than what I knew they were. He then said "I can tell you right now im not working out in that cold". Thats all I needed to here to walk out. Basically im giving them an open invitation to spend $$$ for my safety and they cant ball up and take proper care of a client. Screw that. Took the boat to Md Offshore Performance in Gaithersburg. Treated like a king.
