David Wade Marine Inc

If you want to find out what type of people are running this place, read this review: I purchased a motor from the state of Louisiana and had David‘s crew pick up the motor. Due to some family issues, I wasn’t able to pick up the motor for quite a while and the shop never once pushed me to come and get it. They were completely understandable. I agreed to two prices for David’s services. One of them to mount the motor, and the other one to mount and hook everything up. Because I would be driving 10 hours to pick it up, I was figuring I would just have him mount the motor on my boat so that I can get it home and continue to work from there. When I arrived in Baton Rouge, we quickly found out that the description that was given was wrong and that this motor was not going to fit my boat. The shaft was too long. Therefore I purchased a motor and drove over 20 hours for nothing. However, I rightfully wanted to square up with David because he picked up the motor, held it for me, and mounted it. Out of the kindness of his heart, and compassion, he refused to take anything from me. Even though I owed him what we agreed to, which was fair. Overwhelmed with appreciation, and just knowing that there are still good people out there who are trying to rip everybody off for a dollar, the only thing I could do to repay him was to leave a good review. Additionally, they helped me with a leaking tire on my trailer, which was like salt on the wound lol, and told me I could get it fixed next door at Goodyear. While getting the tire fixed I was bragging about the ship to the manager. Then this lovely lady named Dayna interrupted, she was a customer getting her oil changed. She asked me if I was talking about David Wade, I said yes, she said that’s her neighbor and that he is an amazing, trustworthy man. If nothing, I hope the feel-good story inspires other people to do the right thing. Obviously, he has operating expenses and can’t give everything away for free, but somebody willing to give back to me, knowing I would have additional expenses due to this mistake he had nothing to do with, is an indicator for me of goodness and hence trust. Lastly: The facility was great and all the other employers were awesome as well. Keep up the good work DW and all. And thank you!

He took his time and explained everything that was done to my boat. Now I can go fishing without any boat problems.
