Inland Auto Boat & RV

I purchased a boat from inland a couple days ago and wanted to buy a Bimini top for my boat Mike in parts was a very very helpful guy who went above and beyond to make sure that I knew what I was getting and that I was satisfied with my Bimini top I was very satisfied with his excellent customer service and knowledge he has will definitely be calling him for any of my future purchase thanks again Mike!!!

I purchased a Bimini top last week at Inland Boat Center, the kid that sold it to me advised me to change out the plastic parts with stainless steel. I asked him more than once if the parts I was buying were right and would work he assured me that everything was correct, needless to say I got home and they were not right so the following weekend I returned to swap them out thinking it wouldn’t be a problem but I forgot the receipt, they were not willing to swap the parts out and I had to spend the money it was only $ 20 but over the last 10 years I have spent approximately $ 30,000 at this boat shop. Very poor business ethics in my opinion, I am currently in the market to buy a boat in the neighborhood of $ 80,000 but I will not be buying it from them.

We dropped by on a Sunday to check out a boat we’d seen on line, but when we asked about it we were told by John Paul that a deal was signed the day before. Needless to say we were very disappointed. John told us that it was a finance deal so there was a possibility that the deal could fall through and if it did he’d call us. The next day we received a call from John that despite their best efforts, the buyer could not get financing so if we wanted the boat it was ours (pending a lake test). We took the boat for a lake test on Wednesday and, after a quick rescue mission just to keep things exciting, were sold. We returned to IBC and just over an hour later we were on our way home with our boat. The staff members were all friendly and helpful. John and Tori, the finance representative, went out of their way to make sure the process was fast and easy, but above all, that we were completely happy with our experience. Highly recommend this business!

We went on Sunday to browse the showroom. Had our boat in our driveway by Thursday. We just had the best experience Gary was great with answering all our questions via email promptly. Howie was awesome with the lake test! If we purchase another boat in the future it will definitely be Inland Boat Center.
I don’t remember the woman’s name that handled our paperwork but it was quick and painless.
Thanks again everyone at Inland Boat Center!

I purchased a used boat at Inland Boat Center during the month of August of 2015. The experience was nothing short of EXCEPTIONAL. However, my purchased came with some hurdles. The day after I purchased the boat I went out to the lake the following day. Unfortunately I encountered a mechanical glitch while I using my boat. Needless to say, I was saddened by the thought that I was most likely going to pay a fortune to get this boat running again. With all that was going on, I was very disappointed and I didn’t know what to do. The next day I drove my boat back to Inland Boat Center to discuss my incidence and to drop it off. I didn’t know what to expect from Inland Boat Center. In spite of this tribulation, the guys at IBC were not only super cool, they were willing to help me with my problem. They worked with me to find the cause of the problem and noticed that the issue was something that couldn’t not been seen through a normal inspection. I WAS BLOWN AWAY by their willingness to help, the continuous progress reports of the boat and in the manner they conducted themselves… nothing but professionalism!!! — I really cannot thank them enough as they really pulled through for me. Therefore, if you’re looking for a boat you look no further. Inland Boat Center is a reputable business but their professionalism made me a loyal customer. I give them 5 stars! Thanks again James, Joel, and Don. You guys are the best!

Rip-​offs!!! Do not go there!!! Everything is overpriced!!! Spent $ 1,400 on maintenance that they recommend, did not fix anything. Took the boat back and blamed the problem on the last person that touched the boat… it was them. They do not stand behind their work and were VERY rude.

I drove an hour and a half to see a boat that was listed on boattrader they told me that the boat was in an excellent condition and it was a fresh water boat after a long drive came to see that the boat had rust all over and condition was very bad
do not trust anything that they tell you

If you are looking for parts steer clear of this place! They sell old inventory and its all junk! We bought ropes, buoys, stickers and a couple other items for our boat that we didn’t buy from them, but wanted to spend our money locally. We had to return ALL of it, other than the stickers because they were already on our boat but they peeled off about a month later since they were so old the glue was shot!
Oh and heaven forbid you want to do a lake test on a Saturday… no no no, they won’t do that at all! We went in and wanted to buy a boat, we work during the week and cannot do a lake test Monday-​Friday, the GM was a complete jerk and walked away while we were at the salesmans’ desk trying to get a number together on the boat!!! It was to take a cell phone call! Whats sad is we more than likely would have bought the boat, and guess what, its still sitting in their inventory!
We ended up buying a boat from another dealer in Long Beach that was willing to test on Saturday and make us their priority!
Steer clear of this place!

This company was sooo extremely plesant to deal with! Rob was our sales person. He was never pushy and found us everything we wanted. :) we bought a 25′ Carrera Effect X and we could’nt be happier. The owner was super nice and very involved in his business. We were very pleased. It’s a great place to make a boat purchase.
