Lakeside Marine Specialties

Chris is a great guy. Always willing to help out in any way. Super knowledgable. Has done some work for me and this guy takes great pride in his work. Rare these days. He cares for your boat as if it's his own. Great family owned business

Needs bathrooms (work in progress) and more trash cans yet it is starting to look really nice. People need to bring trash bags and throw away their stuff until they can get more trash cans.

I've taken my bass boat to Chris multiple times and I am completely sold. I will never go anywhere else, and yes I have been to multiple other boat guys. I am in Fort Worth and, now that I think about it, I drive past several other shops to get to him in Alvarado. He gives very personalized service and really pays attention to detail. Communication is great. I previously took my boat to "the dealer" where it sat for 3 weeks before they even looked at it. But Chris will let you schedule an appointment so he is working on it immediately and minimize your downtime without your boat. If something is outside his expertise (very rare) he will point you to the right people and even help facilitate getting things done, because he has been in this industry for many years and knows all the best people to steer you in the right direction. His place is on a lake so he can test and troubleshoot without guessing. His prices are very fair and to be honest, he should charge more for the great customer service.
