    We purchased a boat from Bass Pro Shops at the start of summer after the sales team made clear, reassuring promises about the warranty and included service. At the end of the season I called to schedule the promised annual service — nothing was ever disclosed about additional charges. When I arrived 15 minutes early and spoke with the service department, I was told there is a fee, and the rep casually shrugged that he’d never seen one without it — a direct contradiction to what we were told when we bought the boat. When I asked for a timeline I received nothing but evasions: “I don’t know,” and “we’ll get to it when we get to it.” No estimate, no accountability, and no sense of operational control. For a national retailer, that level of after-sale ambiguity is unacceptable and feels more like a deliberate gap between what’s sold and what’s delivered. This was not a minor oversight — it was a pattern: a polished, pleasant sales front end followed by dismissive, disorganized service once the sale was closed. As someone who runs a business, I expect basic transparency and follow-through; Bass Pro Shops failed on both counts. If you’re considering a purchase here: speak directly to the service department before you buy, insist on written confirmation of any warranty and included service, and do not rely on verbal promises. Others beware — buyer protections matter, and in our experience Bass Pro Shops did not honor the ones they sold. - another manipulated customer
