I got nothing but good things to say about this place... great turn around time. Dropped off my winner boat for service within a day they had it completed Steve and Demetri was more then helpful. I just had back surgery and they even hitched up my boat boat for me (even tho they normally won't do it) like I said nothing but good things, definitely will come back for future services read more

I have relied on BJ Marine for years. For both yearly service and the larger projects that become necessary. Estimates and diagnostics are accurate . The work is predictable, quality and professional. And boat runs Great. read more

I needed to repair and service my boat on a short notice before the trip to Lake Tahoe. It was dying on idle. Jack was able to identify the problems and to fix them. Before taking my boat to BJ Marine, I used another company with good reviews, but they were not able to find what is the cause of the issue and do the repairs needed. I had a great experience with BJ Marine (Jack) company, they charge fair price, great at diagnostic and excellent at communication. Definitely going to use their services for all my boating needs. Highly recommend! Happy boating :) read more

I called the business on Monday dropped off my jet ski the same day and it was fixed within 48 hours. Couldn't make it during business hours to pick up my jet ski. Someone met me there on Saturday during non-business hours and allowed me to pick up my jet ski. I would 100% recommend them to anyone eating service on their boat or jet ski will definitely use them again if I need more service price was fair and straight up and honest These guys went above and beyond to meet my request thank you guys so much for great service and a speedy Repair shout out to the Mechanic Dimitri. And the other Dimitri, who met me to pick up my jet ski on Saturday. read more

Met the owner to look at a used boat for sale. He showed to me and was nice and appeared honest and straightforward. Ended up buying used boat somewhere else just because I found a better/bigger boat for my needs. read more

Brought Jack a basket full of engine parts that another shop took apart. In less than a week not only did he figure out where all the parts went he got my Striper running amazing. Jack gave me an accurate estimate of parts and labor with outstanding workmanship at a reasonable price. I highly recommend them for any of your boating needs. Al Angulo read more

BJ Marine Services - 1972 ceebee avenger - Boat Repair Near Me - North Highlands, California

Brought my 2017 Ranger Z185 with Mercury Optimax ProXS 150 in for repair. Jack and Demetri listened to the symptoms I described and explained what they would do to perform the repair. They told me it would take two hours barring any possible additional damage. They were spot on. Not only did they fix my issue, when I came to pick up my boat they took the time to explain what had happened and what I could do to prevent it from happening again. Demetri also helped me get the boat hitched to my truck and answered additional questions I had on taking care of the trailer. These guys are the real deal; they definitely know their trade, the quality of service is superior, and they are good hearted people who are willing to share their knowledge and advice. I shopped around at other boat repair shops before finding and going with them so I know that their labor rates are competitive. They are now my go to boat repair shop. Thanks a lot for helping me out you guys! read more

Great service by Jack. Brought my boat with my dad for a maintenance. Took well care of us. Can't wait till we hit the lake!

These guys are the real deal. Jack and Dimitri both go above and beyond, stay after hours, help until the job is finished. They did an initial inspection on my boat, testing compression and drive. They made some repairs to my trailer and fixed a few other little things as well. Thanks for your help guys! read more

Great shop, willing to work on my old ski boat. Fair prices, excellent value for winterization service requested. I'd choose this yard for all my marine services. read more

This review is a few years overdue. Back then, I was brand new to boating. Bought a used boat that crapped out my very first day on the water and I brought it to them to repair. They did an outstanding job, fixed some other stuff and redid the shoddy "repairs" the previous owner did. Since then, I've been taking my boat to them whenever there's an issue. Jack, the head mechanic, was always helpful and he and his team, Dmitry (who helps with the yard) and a few dif guys who have cycled through, have always been very friendly and took time to always explain repairs to this newbie boater and just give me tips etc on boating here and there. They seem to care about making boating enjoyable. More importantly, they do good work for fair pricing and never try to upsell me. Sometimes when minor things come up with the boat, I'll even text Jack and he'll respond with suggestions etc. In particular, one time I had a grounding event at a sand bar.....messed up my sterndrive. Jack opened up the drive and realized it was damaged and needed a replacement. Insurance tried to deny my claim and said that replacement wasn't necessary. It was a long process that kept my boat in their yard for months. Jack worked with me to fight with the insurance, working with their adjuster and so forth and I was able to eventually get them to pay me out for the repairs with his help. I've since moved my boat to a different storage area and BJ is further out than some other boat shops but I still go back to them because they've earned my loyalty for their customer service. read more

Jack has worked on my boat on two occasions, both times diagnosing the issue properly and fixing the problem. I highly recommend BJ marine services. read more

Jack and Demetri are awesome. Our previous mechanic closed shop so we tried BJ's based on the reviews and we are very happy! Jack and Demetri listened to our concerns and replaced the water pump in a couple hours. They showed us the previous impeller and had the fake a lake hooked up when we came to pick it up so we could see it all working. Super happy! We'll definitely be back. Thanks guys! read more

Jack the owner is great to deal with. Small shop that runs their business with integrity and fair honest pricing. Jack has helped me with my older bass boat to get it going up to speed. I highly recommend using this shop for all your boat needs. Paolo M. read more

Very efficient and honest! I took my new boat for an overall inspection and was provided with a thorough (honest) explanation of all findings! Would recommend to others! read more

Needed a lower drive/unit and hydraulic rams replaced on a 2000 Maxim SR3. Based on previous reviews, we decided to travel over an hour and a half to have these guys service the boat. We were not disappointed! They had the issue diagnosed fixed and ready for us to pick up within a week and a half. There was a small issue that they did not hesitate to address, even though there was a chance that it wasn't due to swapping lower unit. Jack, Adam, and Dimitri were extremely pleasant to deal with and very knowledgeable. Jack maintained consistent communication through every step of the process ensuring that they were accomplishing everything that we requested. Very satisfied with the results of their work (it's like a brand new boat) and the team was very courteous, respectful and easy to get along with. Would definitely reccomend to anyone. If you need your boat and/or boat trailer fixed, these are your guys! read more

The only place I'll take my stuff to For now on. Fast and honest. I needed a new motor. Jack said bring it in and bam got a phone call saying motor out you need a new one for sure. Jack said he had one had me back and going in no time. Also followed up with me and gave me advice. Also brought in my smaller boat to him and he never lets me down. Saved the day again today. read more

BJ Marine Services - In and out service. Thank you Jack. - Boat Repair Near Me - North Highlands, California

These guys are GREAT! They performed a lot of work for a very fair reasonable price, including water pump replacement and a complete depth-sounder system replacement with through hull transducer. Their availability was very quick as they began working on my boat within a few days of our initial phone conversation. The location may not be in a high profile area, but Im confident that there is less overhead costs passed to the consumer. This facility is also highly recommended by Sacramento area ancillary marine service shops. This is my go-to boat repair shop! read more

I thought I wrote a review years ago when this happened to me. (2019) I don't see it in the reviews so I guess I forgot to write one. I will just say that I wanted some work done on my bass boat. Eventually they got around to working on it, and their mechanic told me that my motor needed $700 worth of work to get it running. Before I took that motor to them it would always start. So I was perplexed that it would not start! I did not believe the mechanic and I took my motor to a place in Stockton. The next day they called me and told me that there was not a thing wrong with my motor! Mechanic told me that it started on the first try. So beside the money that I had paid BG marine, i also forked out money ($477) to have another mechanic (Pacific Boat Repair in Stockton) tell me there was nothing wrong with it. I had that mechanic tune it up and change my water pump. I am very leery about these service shops, and after reviewing all the favorable comments, I felt I needed to make people aware that not all are reliable as was my experience. read more

Look at how unprofessional the owner is. He is adamant he did not do the work. Pathetic. My review is 100% for the correct business. Took him 3 months to reach out. No apology. Nothing. read more

See all

Took a 70s Tahiti here Great team Good ppl Fair prices They r&r my entire motor and drive And offered excellent advice for future upgrades Helped me get a lemon of a boat back on the water.. I'm grateful Honesty is hard to come by read more

Love this shop. Since I found these guys I wont take my boats anywhere else. The have worked on at least 4 boats for me now and have exceeded my expectations every time. Very knowledgeable and always go above and beyond. I recommend them to everyone with a boat I know. read more

Fast Service! I had a small repair that I needed taken care of and these guys were able to get me in right away. When all other boat mechanic shops are not taking any boats for 6 weeks, these guys took our boat the next day and had it back to us that same day. It was nice how they understood that they could fix it quick and get us back on the water. I would highly recommend BJ Marine Services. read more

I brought in my VR5 a few weeks ago for a simple oil change and a full inspection of the battery, transom, engine along with a cleaning and tune up. I spoke with a gentleman named Jack, who assured me that everything would be completed in about 10 days...it has surpassed that amount and every time I call the business number, it goes to voicemail. No texts have been responded to either. I drove by a few times, and absolutely nothing came of it as no one was at the location. Just fully unprofessional, will never stop by again. I have no doubt they pay for their good reviews. read more

Jack has a very bland personality and does not coddle his consumers. He does however, do good work at a more than fair price. Most of all he seems trustworthy and honest read more

Great shop! Staff was very friendly and were able to fix my boat quickly and did a very professional job. Even cleaned it after they were finished! read more

If I could give 10 stars I would! Jack at BJ Marine is the best. He got our boat repairs done fast at a very reasonable price. He even called us to check up on us. Thank you BJ Marine! read more

Great service and honest people is #1 in my book. Had issues with transmition he fixed it and got in water in a week. Great price and good quality work. I will definitely tell all my friends! read more

The most helpful boat repair ever! They respond quickly to questions and worked to fit us in for a diagnosis during their busiest time. Highly recommend such ethical people! We will be getting all of our service done here! read more

We brought our boat here to have an oil leak fixed, was told it would take 2 weeks. 4 months later after endless unanswered/unreturned calls we get the boat back. Excited to have the boat back we take it to the lake and upon launching it, it practically sinks. We were able to save it from completely sinking and realize that the bellows around the engine were attached incorrectly. This is after paying for them to do a "boat inspection". We brought it straight back to BJs marine service and they claim they didn't touch the bellows. They take the boat again for a week to dry out the engine. Since then the motor has not ran. He claimed to have changed the points and timing. We had another boat repairman look at it and was informed that the points that were replaced were auto parts not boat parts. Make sure to check your boat after having it repaired by this shop. read more

Jack is a man of his word. It's refreshing to work with someone in the business who doesn't try to gouge every dime from you. I bought some parts from him recently and he was great to deal with. I will be doing more business with BJ Marine Services soon. read more

Jack and his crew over at BJ Marine service provided awesome family friendly customer service. He was so reasonable with his pricing and completed my job in a very timely manner.I highly recommend them for all your boating service needs. I will definitely return if I encounter any further boat problems. Thank you so much , its hard to find honest mechanics like yourselves anymore. read more

These guys were great. They bent over backwards to get my boat done by the deadline. My boat runs better than I think it ever has. I was real impressed with their "do things right" mentality and no bullshit attitudes. They kept me informed with every step of the motor swap and I couldn't be happier. These guys will now be my boat mechanics. Great job guys. read more

I had a great experience with Jack at BJ Marine. He went above and beyond in the middle of the season to make sure my boat was ready for the weekend. He literally pretzeled himself into the motor compartment to change a part. Great service at a very affordable price, even during the middle of the season when other shops wanted to charge me double. Thanks, Jack! read more

I"m not one to post reviews, but oh my are these guy good. Took my boat in for a 100hrs service. At first I was a little leery due to the location, but have to say I'm so happy I gave 'em a go. The customer service was over the top. I was never in the dark re: cost nor when the service would be completed. I actually showed up a day earlier than quoted, driving my car. The work was completed early and they actually towed my boat for me to my storage location. Who does that? Ongoing, this will be my destination for anything I need for my boats. read more

It's middle of summer, my boat broke and needed work. My regular shop wanted me to wait 6 weeks for repair along with 2 other shops near me were booked out as well. Everyone was busy and I understand that, but what I dont understand is when you're a regular customer, you should have some kind of priority to get your boat back on the water. I googled boat repair near me and BJ Marine popped up. I called and spoke with Jack and let him know that my boat stopped pumping water. I have a Centurion V-Drive wake board//ski boat. Jack said bring it in and he would look at it. I dropped it off at 6pm on Tuesday and it was repaired and ready for pick up Thursday at 10am. (water pump/impeller housing had cracked)...1 1/2 day turn around. Jack was in communication with me the entire time and I couldn't of asked for better service. He saved my old parts and showed great customer service and experience! I will definitely be using BJ Marine again! read more
