If you are looking for a mobile marine mechanic, look no further than James at Reel Southern…read moreMarine. I've worked with a lot of different boat mechanics over the years, and I know how jammed up and backlogged they can get, but James is simply on another level. I literally call him the "Dr. House of boats" because of his diagnostic skills and ability to fix everything. He essentially rebuilt the foot pedal on my Ranger Z521L from the ground up. He found all the underlying issues, ordered the exact right parts, and explained everything to me step-by-step as he worked. He is extremely efficient and super thorough in everything he touches. Recently, I wanted to get the boat in absolute top shape to sell it. James came out, went through the entire boat, and did complete maintenance on the OptiMax 250. Because the boat had sat in a garage for almost a year and a half before hitting the water again, there were inevitably a few hidden gremlins that popped up right around the sale. This is where James's customer service truly shines. Not only was he incredibly understanding, but he immediately helped troubleshoot one issue via a phone walk-through. Even after the buyer took the boat and found a couple more things, James adjusted his busy schedule to make sure the boat was taken care of for the new owner. He knew how important it was to me that the buyer walked away with a perfect rig, and he made it happen. His prices are absolutely fair, and his genuine care to ensure everyone is treated well is unmatched. I cannot praise or recommend James and Reel Southern Marine highly enough!

I was told by the mechanic, who seems to be a really decent guy the boat would be ready today(second time). I walked in today and I asked the owners wife when I could get it and questioned why so long. Her exact response was " It will be ready when we call you and tell you its ready". Now I am really concerned if its not right when I do get it back what happens. I can't imagine talking to one of my customers that way.
