Tige Watersports Lake Elsinore???

[Big Wave]

Does anyone know Tige Watersports Lake Elsinore? Looks like they are Tige Watersports Corona under new ownership?
Looking at their yelp reviews I see a few 1s and a few 5s.
Can anyone confirm if they are still an authorized service center/dealer? Does anyone have experience with them?
Trying to figure out if I should give them a try.

Thanks

Hello. While I cant get into the specifics I will shed a little light on the situation. Tige watersports of corona is no longer a Tige dealer and is in no way affiliated with them. They are required to change their name immediately. As many on the forum know I am working tirelessly to open in Southern California as an expansion to Germaine Marine. While we dont have an official open date, the current build out is on a timeframe which is looking like october, I do have new Tiges available to demo etc in the short term. We arent really going into this new adventure half assed. Our facility will be a big show space right on the 91 and will feature a complete indoor experience.

In the meantime, I can do demos and service with some slight planning as im shuttling guys down from our Phx store to get things moving in this area.

Please feel free to reach out to me anytime personally,

Tigé water sports in lake Elsinore IS still an authorized dealer as I just took my boat there last month and got warranty work done however I can tell you the customer service under the new ownership is awful. It’s pretty upsetting for those of us who buy Tigé in SoCal as the dealership is VERY far away and on top of it the service you get is so poor.

Luckily I did find an AMAZING company called WAKETECH MARINE. It’s about 20 minutes away from the dealer and their service and quality of work is really great. You should check them out.

1sicktige - they are no longer an authorized Tige dealer. Go to their website, look for any Tiges for sale. Call them, ask them if you can order a Tige. Or better yet, call Tige Corporate directly and ask them if Tige in Elsinore is still one of their dealers. I believe you may have been one of the last Tiges to receive service from them. Germaine Marine is coming to So. Cal, thank goodness, and they will be the new Tige dealer in our area.

Incorrect sir. As somone who signed the new dealer agreement and purchased some of the tiges that Elsinore had sitting as part of the separation I know first hand

They might be telling people they still are and trying to keep service going, they however are no longer an authorized dealer......It has been longer then a month.....

[Big Wave]

When I called them this week I asked and they told me they were still the Tige dealer but it seemed a bit fishy. I will not be taking my boat there.

[Germaine Marine]

Well thats a shame..... Not at all true. Sorry you had to deal with that. They are in no way affiliated with Germaine, or Tige currently.

Congrats! Not sure what the agreement is between you and them and Tigé. All I know is last month my boat got some repairs done that were 100% covered by warranty (parts and labor). So not sure how that stuff works but I figured if they were able to do warranty work they were still the dealer. Regardless, glad there is a new dealer in town cus that place was no good!! Looking forward to working with you!

I met the guy from Elsinore at the LA boat show this year. Guy was a total douche bag. He had ZERO interest in answering my questions and all he wanted to do was sell me the show boat he had sitting right there. He was super uninformed about his products. He didn't even bring a Tige with him to the show. All he had was a couple Sangers, which is what I went to look at, however knew very little about them. I then proceeded to ask him about some service to my current Tige and he basically told me that kind of work wasn't worth his time.
