Poor Experience at Jones Marine
Jones Marine has consistently failed to meet the expectations of its customers. According to one reviewer, Scott Vitias, the company damaged his outboard motor during service, and when he returned to pick it up, the gas tank was leaking fuel. Unfortunately, this was not an isolated incident, as Vitias mentioned that the company damaged the shift lever on his motor during subsequent service work. It is clear that Jones Marine has a history of poor service and negligence, which has left customers feeling frustrated and disappointed.
Exceptional Customer Service
On the other end of the spectrum, both P. S. and J'Aime-Lee Ridge had incredibly positive experiences at Jones Marine. P. S. purchased a fishing kayak from the company and was pleased with the staff's advice and guidance in finding the right product. The company even worked out a great deal, as they were able to sell P. S. a demo model at a discounted price. J'Aime-Lee Ridge had a similarly exceptional experience, as the staff at Jones Marine stayed late to show her and her husband a kayak and provide education on the proper kayak for their needs. The reviewer praised Rob, the staff member, for his exceptional customer service and willingness to go above and beyond to ensure a smooth purchase process.
Overall Assessment
Overall, it appears that Jones Marine has a reputation for inconsistent service, with some customers having positive experiences and others having negative ones. While it is unclear whether this is due to individual staff members or the company's overall policy, it is clear that customers are divided on their opinions of the service.
