I had issues while putting our boat in the water. I drove over and did not have an appointment. They were both super friendly and helpful and immediately addressed my issues with the motor. Fortunately they were simple issues that they were able to fix and fix quickly. I will be bringing my boat here for all my services and repairs and I would reco…

These folds are good people. Professional, polite, knowledgeable, and honest. They did all my repairs the same day. I am new to boating and they took time to explain everything they did plus other maintenance item that I should be doing. I could not have been happier with the overall service they provided. I will be a loyal customer from now on.

Alan and his wife provided amazing service at a competitive price. The job was done right, and Alan explained everything to me before and after the job. I love supporting local small businesses, and this one is a winner.

Also, they completed the job with only a couple labor hours when I was expecting 3 or 4 times that amount. The customer service was amazing. I laughed and smiled the entire time i was in there! The mechanic actually knows what he's d…

Best service around! Allyn is by far the best there is! Dropped our boat off on Thursday and he had it back up and running the next day! Five stars!!
