Was having some hard start issues on 95 mercruiser and called Hugo up after going through multiple…read moreyelp vendors. He messaged me back pretty quickly and we discussed possible issues. After a small conversation he came up with a couple possible culprits and we scheduled to meet at the harbor. Once below deck he went through a quick diagnosis check. He was able to find a couple minor issues and able to sort them out quickly and get the boat started. He noted a few items and advised a change to a few maintenance items to prevent the hard starts going forward. His expertise led to a quick diagnosis/fix at a reasonable rate and added knowledge for myself going forward to eliminate the same issue from arising again! I wouldn't hesitate to call Hugo up again or refer him to any of my boating friends that are having trouble tracking down issues.

David leads the shop as a master mechanic, his wife Denise provides friendly and efficient service in the front office, and their son Derek rounds out a top-tier mechanical team. I recently took my Tohatsu outboard in for a check-up. After testing it, David honestly told me it was likely fine to run as,is rather than pushing for unnecessary repairs. I opted for the service anyway because I wanted it done right and value their thoroughness. They stay busy for a reason, they are good. Highly recommended!

We were at our wits end and getting discouraged as this was a new engine with less than 100 hours on it. As my wife works in the industry at a business with a similar name, we reached out to see if they could figure out what was causing our issue. Derek was very helpful and courteous as well as thorough with the inspection process. After a couple of days he figured out that water flow was being restricted at the transom due to a clogged inlet that was described simply as "mush". We obtained a new transom and had it installed. Derek called us up and said there was no more steam, the temp was back to normal and the motor was running fine. After picking up the boat, we took it to Elsinore for a test run with no issues. What a relief. For the scope of work performed, the cost was reasonable. That being said, everyone knows what BOAT means! Lol. A big thank you to Derek and the entire staff at Advanced Marine Service! Now we are bound for the river!

South Coast Ship Yard is just a dishonest mechanic that happens to be in Newport Harbor. After…read moreyears of being a customer I am done. Eric Josenhans is a liar. He cant be trusted to service a Duffy. Don't trust him with your precious yacht or sport fisher. On November 25th I called up them and said I needed a propeller shaft repacking and bottom paint done. He said "Bring the boat over for us to inspect, it might not need to be hauled out of the water" I bring it over and they inspect and say "Yep, it needs to be hauled out" (just like I told Eric on the phone) they then have an employee who hardly speaks English comes out and turn a wrench for 10 seconds to tighten up the shaft journal. The "service fee" for this work was $130! In addition to the $1,450 for the bottom paint and propeller shaft repacking. Eric said "Yea, anytime we have to drop everything to help a boat it's $130." Even though Eric was the one who told me to come over and I told them the problem over the phone and that it needed to be hauled out. Eric said he would email me service dates for haul out and service. He never did. After a third followup on December 3rd Eric finally replied that I should drop off the boat on December 5th, I confirm and deliver the boat to them at 8am on December 5th. On December 10th I ask for an update and remind him I need the boat back by Friday Dec 13th. On December 10th He replied "The boat is scheduled to be done by Friday the 13th, I'll keep you posted" (see images for screenshot of his email) On Thursday (December 12th) I check in and says NO WORK HAD BEEN DONE because they were "busy". This catches Eric in a lie from his email two days earlier because he never could have delivered a painted boat that wasn't hauled out of the water to dry a few days before. After 7 full days of them having my boat I was done with their stupidity. It just sat tied up bouncing against other boats for a week while Eric told me the boat was getting serviced. After 8 days of nothing being done I wasn't interested in giving them any more money so I picked up my boat on December 13th. No apology for their 8 days of incompetence and dishonesty was given. No attempt to make things right was offered. If they can't be trusted to service a Duffy and be upfront, I wouldn't trust them with a major project.
