Islander boat center / Lindenhurst screwed me over
I recently purchased a brokerage boat from Islander boat center in Lindenhurst , New York . What a bunch of *** thieves ! I purchased a 23 ft maxum , when my mechanic went down to the dealer for a sea trial , he was told " the keys can't be found " That was Guy , the boat was in his care . Could'nt find the keys huh ? I wonder why ? Maybe because the boat needed a gimbal bearing and there was water in the boot ! All would have been picked up by my mechanic . Next came the financing , the weasel of a finance officer jack , first jacked up the price of the trailer that was purchased along with the boat , several hundred dollars more then what was agreed upon . He ( jack ) also tried to help me obtain more money from the owners to fix the repair . $200.00 was his answer to $1,800.00 worth of repairs . Big deal ! The owner john is a nasty *** with an attitude that no retail owner should have . Islanders answer to all of this was to have me bring my new boat to thier service center , bergen point . I was told that because of the problems I was having , they would work out a deal with the cost of the repairs . The labor was suppose to be cut in half , it wasn't ! They lied again ! The repair estimate came to $1,800.00 ! Parts was less then $200.00 What *** ! I would not like see anyone buy from them , do not trust them , typical salesman . They not only lost a future sale with me , but I have now made it my lifelong mission to tell everyone how I got screwed over by them . Do not buy from Islander boat center ! You will be sorry !
