Best Nautique Dealer in Illinois / Northern Indiana / Southwest Michigan Area

[BIGAIRCPA]

I am looking for the best dealer in the Midwest area for service based on quality and price. I have acces to a dealers in Illinois, Indiana or Michigan. I am not a mechanical kind of guy and want a great service partner for 12 230 SAN with a ZR450.

Thanks
Phil

Where are you located? We are in Indianapolis. Wakeside is in Elkhart and Cory at Dry Dock in Angola.

[BIGAIRCPA]

I am in Chicago, with a home is SW Michigan (Coloma, MI).

I recommend the guys over at Wakeside Marine in Elkhart, IN. They've been extremely helpful to me. Good bunch of guys.

[Zach@n3]

I talk with those guys a few times a week. Good guys. Did you buy the boat new? You are kind of obligated to have the warranty work done at the new purchasing dealer if so. It is sort of an understood rule between dealers.

If it's used no big deal.

[BIGAIRCPA]

It was bought gently used in Dallas.

[Zach@n3]

Rock on. Gently is always best. Hit Wakeside up.

No experience with Wakeside however if Zach says they are good, they prob are, and they are the least out of your way. If you live in the North or NW burbs Lauderdale is a good dealer, they are about 10 mins west on 176 from rt.12.

Is Guy's marine still in town by your lake place? In a pinch he was formally a Correct Craft dealer.

[BIGAIRCPA]

No, he is not. He has been gone for a while. I would not bring my paddle boat to him if he was still there.

You are between two great dealers one north [Lauderdale Lake Marine] near Antioch IL. and one south Dockside in Wilmington IL,I bought my 210 from Dockside. Great family owned dealer Terry Thomas and his crew will take good care of you.

[Zach@n3]

A good friend/supplier rep for Roswell Brian Harlan was at Lauderdale Lake for many years. Either dealer should take good care of you.

I would recommend either Dockside or Lauderdale Lakes as a Chicago native. I have worked with Eric at Lauderdale for years and cant think of a better place for service. I'm not sure if heading Northwest out of Chicago is that convenient for you, Dockside may be easier when heading to Michigan.

I can't speak for the other dealers mentioned here because I have not been there. I can only speak about the guys at Wakeside. These guys are awesome and go the extra mile to make sure you are satisfied. I would give them a try. They have a passion for service and it shows in their local reputation.

[Quinner]

No, he is not. He has been gone for a while. I would not bring my paddle boat to him if he was still there.

LOL, no experience with them other then looking at some stock boats he had back in 04'.
