I think the point is you want your boat service done by someone you can count on. I don't think that means that only Irwin's or a big shop can deliver that service but I've had enough bad service on snowmobiles, jet skis, home repairs, etc that I have become very selective about who I want to do work. That's why the forum is great for this. Recommendations from real experience. No service provider is perfect but you can get a pretty good feel for a place by the comments posted here.

I personally have had my boat at Irwin's for the last 14 years and have not had any significant mechanical problems during a boating season.

Irwin is a Sea Ray "Master Dealer". That is not a trivial thing to earn. I would expect excellent service since they obviously have a reputation for it.

Like anyplace else, they have a lot of really good people and a few boneheads. If you get a good person, everytime you go there, ask for that person to work on your boat. You will be very happy. If you forget to ask, bozo the clown may work on your boat.
