Testimonials

“Here are just a few of the testimonials we have received over the years from our

Great Lakes Docks and The Kayak Store customers..."   

- Kris Dombrowski, The Kayak Store

 

​

I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful experence on Saturday. Being able to test out the different kayaks available really made my decision enjoyable. I am looking forward to a long and enjoyable kayaking life! Thank you again.- Jeffrey M Ryntz June 27, 2004

 

"Kris and Wally Dombrowski are remarkable people who truly care about delighting their customers. After calling a dozen other dock dealers who are closer to my home, none of whom could help me meet a very tight deadline, I called Great Lakes. Thank goodness I did! Like the other dealers, they did not have the products in stock. But unlike the other dealers, Kris became my advocate. She worked with the distributor in Indiana to get me everything I needed delivered right to our waterfront two days later! From that initial call until after the delivery, they proactively followed up and followed through. They provided the most courteous and conscientious service imaginable, all while going above and beyond to help me be ready for my daughter's end-of-school party. From now on, I will only call Great Lakes!"

"After owning more than 14 kayaks from different manufacturers I can tell you there is no nicer, more accommodating and concerned staff any place...You can demo a boat anytime, and they will even make special accommodations to be at the store during off hours.Special orders: no problem, and you can always count on honest answers and returned calls and emails. Let’s see that from a big box retailer..."

Dear Wally, Your men are always welcome to return and look at the great dock you installed on our lakefront property. My wife and I are extremely pleased with its ease of operation. It is well engineered and raises and lowers quite easily. My neighbors struggle with getting their docks in and out of the water and I move my dock with little effort. I expect some of them may contact you. Your installation and service was great. I could not have asked for more. I would be happy to recommend Great Lakes Docks & Decks to anyone seeking your service.

Dear Wally, This is just a short note to thank you for constructing my boat lift under some very trying winter conditions. Your work was very well done. The lift not only fits comfortable in the boat house, it also looks good and sturdy. I very much appreciate your completing the entire job on schedule, within budget, all under the harsh weather conditions. Now I anxiously look forward to spring so that I can enjoy the use of my new boat lift. Please feel free to use my name as a reference. Also you may give out my phone number if anyone would like to call regarding your work. Thanks again for a job well done.

I suppose it might be odd to thank you for a thank you note, but it's a rare business that takes time to let me know that my purchase was appreciated. You are welcome and if I ever need anything you sell, I will certainly be back in your store. Good for you for caring about your customers.
