"Survey Says"

Service Capacity
Simply put, No One Waits! We have more Factory Educated
Service Technicians available to provide your maintenance services and repairs. 
Timely, accurate and efficient.

Service capacity is a term I coined to best define one of our key advantages over our competitors.  

Where  most companies in Central Maine have just 1 or 2 Formally Trained Technicians
We Have a Dozen.  You can only do so much with 2,....You can Accomplish a lot more with 12!

Service  
And Service Training
Are At The Core Of Everything
We Do Here At Clark Marine.

"Service is our Business"
is more then just our motto
it is the most prominent definition
of our company.

Our service practices have been thought out carefully and designed to meet the specific needs of the freshwater recreational boater.



Every person who is employed here is expected to take part in manufacturer provided training.

The combination of technical school classes and online computer modules formally prepares us to perform everything from general maintenance to advanced repairs.  

Efficiency is the key to better controlling costs.  "Six Sigma"has become the template we use to scrutinize each of our practices and procedures. We are always working on ways to save you time and money.
