              Ive been having my boat winterized at vance outdoors for around 14y always got good service, but last Dec when I finally got a appointment **** came out said my fuel filter needed changed I said fine then he came out said my fuel was bad , showed me a jar of redish fuel , then he came out and said they couldn't get motor started that they somehow force winterized, then informed me that I needed a high pressure fuel pump he didn't have in stock but in spring he could order for 500.00 ! Well when I got home I used hand pump got half jar of fuel out of tank it looked and smelt fine , yesterday I put battery in and hooked hose to motor ,turned key it started immediately and ran fine!! Vance outdoors use to have great management and employees in boat service but It has changed I beleive new management and employees and you lost a loyal customer

              We have reached out to the customer to try and make this right. We believe this was miscommunication on the part of our employee and have offered incentives for the customer to give us another chance. We hope to hear from him in the future
