Shep Brown's
What ever happened to Steve Hinchey at Shep Brown's in Meredith? We will miss him.

He’s gone from their web page already. We will miss him. He’s been the continuity through different ownership. Good guy.

Thankfully Chris is still there. I think all the other people in management are new since the change in ownership.

Sheps
I was there yesterday.
Chris was there but no Steve. I hope Chris doesn't go anywhere. I don't like that kind of change. |

Found Steve online and he had been at Sheps since 1993. That’s a lot of happy customers.

Steve
I called Sheps today to find out who to contact when service is needed since Steve is no longer there. I always called Steve and he would take care of it. When I asked the woman who do I contact now that Steve is gone, she said "hold on a minute while I figure that out" She comes back on the line and said "contact Chris." I pointed out he is the parts manager now and asked if he has moved from parts and she said "yes." Website still has Chris listed as the parts manager and there is no one with title of service manager.
Hope this will not be a problem. |

I've worked with Chris in the past and he's a good guy too. I don't think there will be any issues. If they lost their techs we'd be in trouble.

Shep Browns
I am shocked to learn that Steve has elected to leave after so many years!! I do hope that he has found something that will be rewarding in all ways, he most certainly has earned that.Chris hopefully will be promoted and will continue the great service that has marked Sheps over the years.
I have known and worked with these guys for, the past 15 years and I will tell you that it will not be easy to find a replacement for either. Their new GM is a great guy, a real people person, I am certain he will be a shining star in the years ahead. Good luck Steve |

I hope it's a voluntary move...
It's shocking news to me. My family has done business with Shep's since 1961 and Steve was the best.
He spent time in Florida and Myrtle Beach over the winter...Hope he found something in the sun.

"No nicer guy on the planet"...
Some people are well suited for their careers and have, not only the needed skills, but the personality also.
Steve has both...

So far...
Chris Ireland is doing a great job.
I had a last minute issue before my launch and Chris took care of it on a very tight schedule. They are backed up two weeks for service.

Lakeport Landing is VERY good! Great place for Steve
I purchased my boat at Lakeport Landing and they also serviced it.... very good people and ownership. A great place to add a talent like Steve!
