Zero stars for this marina. We purchased an 80k new boat and the mechanic blew up our alternator the day by attaching the battery backwards the day we purchased the boat. They said they cleaned the boat and they didn't. Gave poor instructions of how to use it and even gave us wrong cover for the boat ... sales rep jack is nice but that's it ! Don't buy. Look elsewhere it has been a nightmare.

If you need small boat service find someone else. Tom at Plano marine is the most difficult person to deal with. He is rude, doesn’t care at all, is difficult to just get pricing from, and he literally doesn’t listen. Had to tell him model of boat and what I wanted 4 times. I went to ask around to see if I was the only one, I’m not. There’s plenty that know of Tom and how difficult he is to deal with.
I did speak with someone else who was great there but Tom ruins it completely. I think for big boat and yachts they have different people but don’t go for small boat.
I’ll never bring

The marina and Tim have been outstanding to work with. They have gone above and beyond to help on all fronts. They have been fair on pricing, taken care of last minute service requests, and been extremely easy to get a hold of by phone and in person. I have dealt with a lot of marinas in my life and none have come close to having the customer service that Plano Marine does. Thank you!

I took my Regal 3560 for service at Highport Marina on 02/06/20 for fiberglass work on swim platform, have lower units serviced, bottom job, and full compound and wax from water line all the way into the boat. They got everything except the fiberglass work done in like 1 week. They had my boat 3 months before I got it back. They did not even clean the boat where the compound got under the seats. They just lift out for storage. Was told we don't do that and insisted on me to pay the 11,800.00 bill. Doug did not communicate until the boat was in the lift to be put back in the water. Sorry guys. I

Plano Marine at Chandler’s Landing is absolutely the best marine repair shop. Javier (Parts/Service Advisor), Tim (GM), Mark (Mechanic)and Tim (Shop Foreman) are truly passionate and enthusiastic about pleasing the customer. Per my request, Javier called me the day before my boat was scheduled for maintenance so I could keep it at home. After the maintenance was complete, Javier kept the boat secured inside the shop until I picked it up. Mark is the best and most knowledgeable boat mechanic that has ever worked on my boat. He has taught classes on marine engine repair. I have a 20 foot bow rider

I took my Sea Ray Sundancer in to Plano Marine at Chandler's Landing for a full engine and generator service along with a polish and bottom paint, in addition to getting the bumper rails replaced. Not only did they conveniently pick my boat up from a different marina from their shop location, the price quoted to do the work was very competitive; I received far beyond the level of customer service that I bargained for. Aside from the aforementioned being completed in a very timely manner, I also added a complete upholstery and canvas camper top restoration to the to-do list. After everything was

For 20 years of marriage my husband has said how he needs a boat, specifically a bass boat, so for his birthday, I decided to get him a boat. Then, I realized...I know ZERO about boats.
I googled some places to buy boats & began visiting places. I wasn't very impressed. Most places had young kids working there who looked customers like annoying mosquitos. However, when I got to Plano Marine I was greeted by Greg, who was new to the business.
Greg was awesome. He was very patient & answered all my questions & educated me on things I needed to know. If he didn't know the answer

Tim Bates, Javier, Hart, Brandon and everyone on the entire crew at Plano Marine at Chandler's Landing Marina provided top notch service on our boat's recent haul-out was so skilled and customer focused, cant' say enough good things! For our large boat, they did fiberglass repairs, epoxy coating, bottom paint, and annual engine service, all on-time and at a reasonable cost especially considering the great level of quality. We are happily back on the water, enjoying and sharing the beautiful sunsets on Lake Ray Hubbard.

I would give them zero stars if I could. Showed up to look at a Searay 26' and the interior had a ton of stains, the A/C control unit was broken and hanging off the wall and the mattress was missing. I negotiated they fix all that and two weeks later it still wasn't ready, they told me they couldn't give me a delivery date. During the waiting period I noticed the boat was advertised with a windlass anchor but there wasn't one installed. I contacted them and they said there's a disclaimer on the bottom of the page and what's listed on boat trader is not what&apos

Hello potential customers of Plano Marine. I wanted to give you an idea of how I was treated as a customer. I purchased a pre-owned Chaparral 300 and Greg Ray was who I dealt with. I need to say up front that I live in the Denver area of Colorado so Plano Marine is not a local dealership for me. The Chaparral was the boat we were looking for, however. After going through the back and forth that comes with these deals, we agreed on a price for the boat along with a substantial list of repairs and upgrades that the service department of Plano Marine would be doing as part of the price I paid for

I have an excellent review for Plano Marine. My sales person was Jack and he was outstanding! He was professional, responsible, and personable. He did what he said he was going to do in a very timely manner. He was extremely knowledgeable and he did whatever he could to point out ways of saving me money. He answered every question I had and was encouraging if I had more questions to contact him at any time. He was not the least bit pushy, but very patient with me. He was very thorough and everything went smoothly. I consider him honest and I trust what he says.

Marine mechanics don't really set a high bar for expectations, but Plano Marine even under performs the majority of other shops.
The customer service is pretty horrible, be prepared to call them consistently to ask about timeliness of service and then not have that timeline hit. Also expect to not get a call when your boat is ready.
If you bring anything back to them that you feel might have been done improperly also get ready to be lectured or blamed for it, then charged again for them to do quality control.
I won't be doing business with them again, and would advise anyone to stay

If your needing a great deal on a new or used boat with no haggling or just needing some good old honesty I have the place for you. Me and the wife visited Plano Marine in Plano TX just to look at the G3 Sportman 18 or 19. Out walked Tommy Lassiter with a big old smile and gentle mannerisms. After looking and talking for a bit we settled on the 17 Sportsman. Tommy never tried to up sale us on a larger or more expensive boat. It was a very comfortable experience from beginning to end.
PS. We caused several people to work late on a Saturday and still felt very comfortable about our purchase.

Wow! Words can't express how thankful I am for Plano Marine. My husband has a Polaris flat bed boat that is being used for the hurricane rescues. We thought something was wrong with the oil so he went to get the oil fixed before going participate in the rescue operation. When he went there they realized it was that the oil was overfilled but that the whole lower motor needed to be replaced. Cabelas recommended Plano Marine and they are certified Polaris repair people. They told us they were a month out. I called all around and that was the normal turn time (or better). I called Plano Marine

Worst place in the world to do business. If you are in the market to get played over, have work done that was done poorly, owner who is not trying to make things right! You going to the right place!! Look go somewhere that cares about customers!! Not that wants your money and pushes you out the door. And when you boat motor burns up because of poor service Plano Marina did. Well. Good luck if you considering it!!

Buyers BEWARE! From start to finish the entire process of purchasing a new 2016 Nauticstar from Plano Marine has been a disaster. Our sales guy, Jared, makes promises then denies that he told you. Before the purchased went down I had specific questions. Whether the boat came with a transom saver? Bimini top? Boat cover? I was specifically told yes to all three. Now once the boat was purchased it took multiple days to get it ready, I was understanding of this process as it was the beginning of July. However, no transom saver until we called and demanded that it be given to us as promised. The boat

I was in there about 20 years ago for a pulley, remember them being rude and not buying it. I needed a couple things for this weekend, thought I'd give them another try. Same arrogant jerks from 20 years ago. I bought the part I needed at almost twice what I could get it online for, and when I mentioned the price difference he acted like I had disrespected his mother, and told me "yeah, but we have it today" which is true, but it was like he was happy he got to bend me over the counter. I'm mad at myself for buying it there and not supporting the online vendor that has bent

I have used their East Texas location twice / and on both occasions received very poor service - with low quality repair. The second occasion what to fix what I took the boat in for last summer, however - not only did they not stand behind their work...charged be DOUBLE what their estimate was to fix it -- after SIX weeks of waiting for the repair to be complete.
This is the LAST time I will go to either location / do yourself a favor, don't mess with this place. BAD.

I have been a loyal customer of the Parts & Service department since buying our boat!
I walked in yesterday afternoon to buy two small very simple parts as we are doing the spring service ourselves.
Imagine how shocked I was when the Know-it-all clerk behind the parts counter told me that we were Idiots (My partner is a mechanic) because we were stupid and needed a new engine block. Really Sir? you are going to diagnose something sight unseen based on two small parts that I was hunting?
Clearly this is why you are pushing the broom and sweeping up - as you aren't necessarily any

I purchased a NEW boat from Plano Marine in April 2012. Robert the sales person was great! He was very helpful and knowledgeable. Unfortunately after I bought my boat, the great feeling I had and the great experience COMPLETELY DISAPPEARED!
Issue #1 - I had a 75 lb thrust Great White trolling motor installed. The technician bolted it to the boat with 1 inch self tapping screws. When I unloaded the boat for the first time, not even out of the Marina, it almost fell off the boat and would have fallen into the lake if the strap wasn't holding it down.
Issue #2 - Tailoring the boat to go fish

I purchased a new 20' runabout from Plano Marine in 2006. Marco, the sales person, was excellent, but is no longer there. So the purchasing experience was great. They even drove to the lake to give me an on water demo.
I normally do my own maintenance but took my boat in in 2007 for 100 hour maintenance and some warranty work. I left the boat for a week and they managed to damage the fiberglass and left the boat uncovered in a muddy lot.
Even worse, after sitting there for nearly 2 weeks none of the original maintenance was done! I recommend the Chaparral brand and sales group but
