Customer Testimonials
Our customers love their experience with us!
September 2019 I was on a motorcycle trip with a dear friend of mine heading north on I-75 when a link on the chain of my motorcycle locked up and jumped the sprockets - basically putting me in desperate need of help. I was towed to Indian River Sports Center. They quickly diagnosed the situation and were able to locate and source the parts needed fast. They had the parts overnighted, put my repairs as a priority, and me back on the road in less than 48 hours! In addition to this - they helped me find WONDERFUL accommodations close to town within walking distance to good food.
They took care of this tired traveler --- and with my travel companion needing to move on to meetup we were joining, they made me as a solo female feel safe and well taken care of. I respect that and have passed this on to MANY of the women rider sites. Respect to Indian River Sports Center! PROFESSIONAL! KIND! QUALITY!
I cannot tell you how many times I have referred Indian River Sports Center and the place I stayed - and how beautiful Indian River is to stay if in the area."
Jeff at IRSC called me after he was able to find me a last minute winter storage location. Short turn around time, so he helped get me completely setup all the way down to coming to my house and picked up the boat for me. THIS should be the standard in service... not the exception."
