Apogee Industries LLC

I am from Oregon and bought a boat in Venice fl, noticed that the tires where dry rotted, pulled up to apogee and spoke to David, the guy was really helpful and also mentioned that I need my bearings done before I go to Oregon cost! They got it done in a timely manner and a really fair price! The staff is really friendly with a lot of parts in stock!

Never used their services but lost control on the highway in the rain well avoiding stopped cars and was waiting for a tow truck when one of your guys stopped to make sure I was okay and then proceeded to help me get my truck and trailer situated for the tow. I tried to give him what cash I had on me but he refused to accept it. Really was a breath of fresh air after being so overwhelmed. Will definitely be checking out your services in the future

I DO NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE to do business with Apogee Trailer in Venice FL. I had the worst experience of my life dealing with David, the owner. They sold me a new boat trailer to replace my 2015 Magic Tilt, which they told me was beyond repair. They guaranteed the quality and fit of the new trailer, which I paid them nearly $6000 for upon placing my order for it, and left my boat and old trailer parked at their shop while it was being made. Once they notified me the new trailer was ready to pick up, I went to Venice to find my boat sitting awkwardly on a much smaller than original aluminum trailer on top of bunks that were clearly not intended for my boat, with the back of the hull hanging two feet over the end, unable to properly secure it to the trailer, and sitting so high up that Id have to back my vehicle half way into the water during high tide just to get the boat loaded or unloaded. It had two tall, wide bunks instead of the original 4 low bunks- and it just looked ridiculous. They tried to convince me it was good enough, but it wasnt even remotely close to what I had before in design, not made for my boat which has a stepped hull requiring specific bunk placement, or what I was told I was buying. David promised me hed do anything make it right and he seemed very truthful as he convinced me that he could actually repair my old trailer and make it as good as new- for no extra money - and that no matter what hed make it right. He shook my hand and said his handshake is his contract and that I can use the new trailer to store my boat on while they repair my old trailer. I reluctantly agreed, and waited another several weeks until they notified me my old trailer was rebuilt and I can pick it up. I made the trip to Venice again towing the boat, expecting to swap trailers for my rebuilt one. There I found my old trailer, with the axles replaced and the tongue repairs so that it was towable, with new lights mounted on and the original old wiring dangling near the ground, the old worn out fenders still loosely attached and the original bunks, recarpeted but not replaced. There were no safety chains, the original two-speed 2500lb winch was replaced with a cheap 1600lb new one, the ball attachment was a very light duty cheap one that David needed to use a hammer to engage the mechanism, the jack stand was replaced with a very cheap new one. I was upset they told me it was ready when it wasnt even road worthy, and that it wasnt as good as new or even close to it. They said they would finish the work and I again left with the new trailer only this time I was struck by another driver, damaging my boat and the new trailer slightly. So, I immediately filed a claim with the other drivers insurance and notified David at Apogee Trailer what had happened. I had a bill of sale for the new trailer, but I had no title due to the whole issue with them getting it wrong and rebuilding my old one. David told me to bring it to him to evaluate the damages for the insurance claim. He said it was totaled and beyond repair ( just like he said my old one was that he was now repairing) and that until the claim was paid, he would release my old trailer to me in its unfinished state, and that hed complete the work after the claim was settled. The insurance eventually paid David $6000 for the damaged new trailer, and he kept it as well, easily repairable and resealable. So, now hes been paid nearly $12,000 for the same trailer he sold me, and I am stuck with my old beat down trailer in towable yet still very poor condition. All of the parts he put on it except the axles broke within the first couple of uses, the cheap lights blinked out on the first dunk- the old fenders are still barely hanging on, broken and wobbly. I have been trying to contact David in person, text and email since the insurance companies settled with him, but he will not reply. If I go to his business in person, he hides from me and wont come out to talk. I was ripped off, he scored big bucks and a trailer, I got nothing but disrespect, and an old worn out trailer.
