Taco Marine Customer Service

I installed new Taco bases and poles a few weeks ago on my boat. Whet to fuel up this past Saturday and when I got back I noticed the knob & cap, metal tension plate, C-clip and washer was gone. I assume it wasn’t tightened enough and fell off. I called Taco on Monday to order the replacement parts and explained what happened. Told them it was 100% my fault and that I was even more upset with myself b/c they were brand new and I haven’t even used them yet. I told them I knew I could order the knob, cap, c-clip and washer but I couldn’t find the metal tension plate on their site. Taco customer service told me that was not a part that was listed as available on their site. I asked if I could order one and they put me on hold. I minute later the woman came back and told me they would send ALL the parts out as a courtesy to me at no charge. UPS pulled up today (3 days later) with the replacement parts. It Doesn’t get any better than that. They even paid for shipping………………………

Sometimes it pays to speak with a real live person in customer service! I had a similar experience a few weeks back trying to get a plastic bottom mount for my navigation light, company sent out 2 at no charge.
