Sunwest Auto Marine & Rv

I was real impressed with my experience with Sunwest Auto Marine & RV. My Malibu ski boat had a serpentine belt come loose on our third day on the lake near Antelope Point marina. I pulled it out of the lake and searched online for boat repair shops in Page. I called every shop I could find online and none of them could get me in for at least a week which would have eliminated the rest of our family vacation. The next morning I was determined to find someone to help me tighten up the belt which wouldn’t take very long. I went to Old West on Coppermine (I called them the night before and left a message to call me the next morning and they didn’t) and for a company with a website tag line, «we save vacations», I found them to be just the opposite. Maybe if I had a a house boat but they wouldn’t give me the time of day and told me all their guys were on the lake and no one available at the shop to help me. I drove to Donn’s (I called them the night before and left a message to call me the next morning and they didn’t) and they said they didn’t have time to look at my boat. While parked at Donn’s, I saw another ski boat owner parked there and I asked him if he was having the same challenge as me. He said his Mastercraft boat had a power steering problem and he had called Sunwest Auto Marine & RV (located one building east of Donn’s) in same center. He said he had an appointment for his boat to be repaired at Sunset but wasn’t sure if he was going to take the appointment or not. He decided to try to repair it himself and save the money and instead introduced me to Sunwest and asked that I be able to take his appointment. Boy did I feel like good charma was coming my way. Melanie and Mike greeted me at Sunwest and I described my problem and they had me back my boat in the garage. Mike looked at the problem and discovered and showed me that the alternator bolt which lets you tighten the serpentine belt had broken off and was laying in the bottom of the motor area along with a washer. He didn’t have time to tap it nor did he have a replacement alternator. He said he had another boat with the same problem and what he did was put a small wood wedge in the alternator bracket and pushed it down and screwed it in to create a temporary tightening of the belt and let me use it until the alternator is replaced. The bandaid worked GREAT! We used it the rest of the vacation and now we’re home. We rented the boat from First Class Rental in Draper utah and now they can get it fixed. I was in and out of Sunwest in an hour and back on the water by noon. Two other companies out of the six I called did call me back but only Sunwest Auto Marine & RV was willing to make time to save my day and my week’s vacation with my family. Thanks so much Mike, Lynne, and Melanie. I highly recommend Mike and Sunwest to anyone who has an engine mechanical problem, electrical, welding, or automotive or marine or rv need.

Knowledgeable, professional, very good customer service that is delivered on time and as committed. Sunwest (Mike and Lynne) were highly recommended and have exceeded expectations. Need RV or boat work in Page/​at Lake Powell? I can strongly recommend them for both.
