Spring Start-Up Done Right
Professional spring start-up service in Wisconsin. Certified techs handle the oil change, battery service, fluid checks, and full system inspection — so your first trip out is the lake, not the shop.

- Engine Oil & Filter ChangeFactory-spec oil, OEM filter, drained clean and topped to the dot.
- Battery ServiceLoad test, full charge, terminal clean, and reinstall — ready to crank on the first turn.
- Lower Unit & Drive LubeFresh gear oil and a water-intrusion inspection — catch problems before they sink the season.
- Fuel & Cooling System CheckLines, filters, water pump, impeller, and hoses all inspected and replaced as needed.
- Safety & Electronics CheckNav lights, horn, bilge pump, gauges, and kill switch all tested for compliance and safety.
- Repair RecommendationsWritten notes on anything else that needs attention — no surprises on opening weekend.
