Just be carful.

Of what? great service at an affordable price!

I know Gary Pender. The prices quoted here are not realistic.

Change an impeller for $50!!!!!! and the part is included!!!!!Buyer beware! Could be OK deal but .......

The price was exactaly what was advertised when I got mine done last week. He is running a special which had an ending date.

The work is while you wait, which means you can watch them do it.

WOW looks like it went real well. My bud told me Pender got the idea with business being real slow and with the lake 30ft low, he needed to come up with a ploy. Pender had some of his hot boats their for the guys to look at, while they waited. Bud said they sold a lot of boat accssories and 1 new boat during the special.

Ok, guy's I know it seems to good to be true but it's real and it's a deal. If you have any questions you can look at the forums on ABF..Austin Bass Fishing and read the comments from the customers who took advantage of the service that posted.

AND: Gpurde is right about our lake being down but the rest of his comments are not correct. We are not slow and don't need ploys to get work in. Currently, today we have 38 open work orders and it's slow? Maybe compared to the boating season when we have 80+ open work orders. Gpurde and I have a common friend and what Gprude is relateing is not what was told to our friend. Someone is cornfused...
My reason for posting the special was to get the fishing guys taken care of while our shop was not running 2 plus weeks out to get a boat back on the water. It was a service to those of you who do not want to wait for your boat to be repaired. Everyone who has taken advantage of it got exactly what they were told they were getting...and most were in the shop while the service was done.
So to all of the winers and nay sayers go pay more.

Good idea! Guess your calling Mark a lier. Remember the motor I bought from you? You never did get me the other parts you promised.

Gary,i'm not calling anyone a liar but I am questioning your take on the service special and the conversation I had with Mark on the special we are offering here at Tracker. The way I see it is that you think great customer service and value is not good for what ever reason. The way I see it is taking care of customers who don't like to let their boat sit in the shop for service, meeting new customers , growing our business and improving sustainability for our store and our employees.Given the state of our economy and the marine business as a whole I'm just doing my job. As far as, if a customer takes advantage of the service special and buys something else they need or want and the store makes a return on investment so be it ..thats why we are in business.As service manager, I'm responsible for promoting and branding our store and the specials I offer are to that end.

Please remember the parts I sold you 3/5 years ago had nothing to do with Tracker they were from my personal raceing stuff that I no longer needed. Also,if I recall you made a substainal profit on the power head. I also pm d you on the other web site that the trim pump was in my shop and I would send it to you but you never replied. Your welcome to it , it stills lies in my junk pile.

So if you would like to discuss this with me please call me so that we don't waste others time reading this bs in a public forum.

Phone ever ring Gary? I should be bringing my boat in tuesday or wed.

No, never got a call to discuss off the site. Oh well, I tried.See you Tues. Yamah filters are in.

THANKS TTF.

Well I'm not sure about all that, but I can tell you guys that I have had nothing but great things to say about Gary and his crew. The only reason why I didn't get that special done on my boat, was because I had an addicent with my boat, the first place I took my boat after that was tracker and let me tell you one thing it was in and out before my check was even cleared in my account. It was almost 10 grand in work so don't think it was a small job. I also both of my graphs 998 and 788 brought and installed at his shop. I have always been in and out with no matter what I was getting done.. Once I took the boat in to get some work down And something chewed-my net up. It wasn't trackers fault but guess what Gary did for me? He took care of it for me, I told him that it was ok but he made it right anyway. If he has ever told me he would do it then it's been done for me. Like James said I'm not affiliated with Tacker any way thanks Gary.

Thanks Marine Tim, from all of us here at Tracker. See you Fri. your trim motor is done.Thanks TFF.

THANKS TFF.

Thanks TTF, another happy boater.

I wish someone would run a special like that in the DFW area!

Plan a trip down here to fish one of our lakes and we will do it for you. Call the day before and we will get everthing togather and be waiting on you and have you out in about a hour and a half. You won't be disappointed. We have done 25 or 30 since we started and have 100% satisfaction.

Time is running out, special is over at end of month.
