Matt’s Motor Sports

Lake Havasu Poker Run, Saturday after Thanksgiving. Sand Rail popped a rear HD Spring & shock. A real mess. Called Matt’s Shop. Best Service ever. He went to All About Storage, opened up Bay, removed Broken Parts, put Rail on Jack Stand. Unbelievable service, Always did super on the Kawasaki Jet ski’s. Now super good job on the rail. Glad to have met him from my neighbor’s referral. Reasonable & truly fair on price. Can’t ask for more than that. Thank you. Ron R

We took our boat to Matt because the impeller blew. Called Matt to get an update and he said he pulled all the particles of the impeller out and put in a new impeller. He said he ran the boat on the hose and it registered 130 degrees. The receipt also stated that he serviced the trailer. We picked up the boat and took it for a test run. We basically let it idle in the water for 20 minutes and took it from Jack Smith Park to the bridge 3 – 4 times. The boat never registered off of zero or warmed to touch at all. Makes me wonder how it registered to 130. Took it back to Matt and he was he was very cooperative to take a look at it. Everyone that we mentioned the symptoms to said it sounded like there wasn’t a thermostat in it. We will never know. When we picked it up, I asked the employee if they put a thermostat in it and his response was «well we did». I just didn’t feel like I got a straight story. After we picked it up we took the boat out to make sure everything was functioning. The temperature read fine and stayed constant but it seemed like we took in more water than we ever had. The boat never took on water in the past. Mind you we only ran it near Katherine’s Landing for a little while and floated around in the sun when it appeared to be holding temperature. The next day we decided to run from Katherine’s Landing to Willow Beach Harbor which is past Cottonwood Cove. For some reason that little voice told me to take a look to see if there was any water in the bilge and «holy crap». It appeared that water was being pumped into the boat as we were underway. Fortunately the bilge pump was able to handle it. We immediately turned around and cautiously headed back to pull the boat out and take it in for repair again. At this point I’ve lost trust with Matt’s shop. We took it to another local guy and between my husband and the owner of the other shop they immediately found that it was a loose hose clamp on the fuel cool. This could have been a disaster if the hose blew. In addition, the receipt said he serviced the trailer yet two bulbs were out. I do not recommend this shop at all. Besides not being careful, Matt has very poor customer service skills. His demeanor is as if he is on the defensive.

TRIP SAVIORS!!! HIGHLY Recommended mechanic!!!
Long story short– I tried to save a few hundred dollars and I bought a OEM replacement trim pump online because mine went out on my last trip. Unfortunately after about an hour of trying this last week, I couldn’t get the hydraulic hoses to fit the new pump. I have a 26′ Chaparral Sunesta boat so its a chunk to tow around town in search of a mechanic. In a jam, with 6 kids and 3 adults waiting for me to show up and hit the lake, I called Matt at Matt’s Motorsports and told him I had a major problem and needed assistance. He was very nice told me to bring my boat to him right away.
Matt’s shop was super busy with several other boats in his shop, but he dropped everything he was doing to help me out. After trouble shooting the problem for a few minutes, he was able to get my old pump working like new. I was back at our hotel and on the water in no time. He seriously save the day!
I can’t tell you how thankful I am to have found a mechanic like Matt and his crew. They were extremely professional and worked out my issue right away. Any other mechanic would have told me to leave the boat to be looked at another time or even another day. I thought we would have to order and overnight a new $ 700 Volvo pump losing 2 ore more days of our vacation.
I HIGHLY recommend Matt’s to anyone in the Laughlin /​Bullhead City area who needs a great and honest mechanic for their water toys. I found my live long mechanic should I ever need anything else done for my boat!

This place saved me! Matt is so nice and straight to the point ! No BS just tells you like it is and charges a more than reasonable price. Spark plugs done while I waited and his entire crew was extremely helpful. If you need some work done I would highly recommend .
Thanks Matt

Matt has HORRIBLE customer service! Not only did he choose not to work on my watercraft after having it almost a month, but he also mis-​diagnosed the problem! Never called to communicate with me and then proceeded to blame me. Do not take it there cause you feel you don’t have other options in Laughlin!

Stopped in cuz we needed some new handgrips for my Seadoo… very helpful, very nice. They didn’t have what we needed, but they called down the road and found a set, gave us directions and we were on our way. Old school business ethics… small town style service… gotta love it!

We take our Boat, seado and dirt bikes to Matt. He is just a up front guy that does good work. He takes awhile, so if your in a hurry makes sure he knows. He’s never dissappointed us. Honest with fair prices.
