For example, I was going out for several days with my bro on his catamaran and I asked if he needed anything for the boat. He needed line tape. I called West Marine in Stratford and they didn't have any. I called Milford Boat Works and they had it which made me happy as I am from Milford and didn't have to go out of my way. Since it was raining, I decided to get some rain gear for my trip. Milford Boat Works had just what I needed. And, you know how the saying goes, if you have rain gear, the sun will be shinning! So true. Staff at MBW are very friendly and helpful. I also saw some other items that I needed at home. Tubing for my water fountain is sold by the foot so I was able to pick that up as well.

They serviced our boat for 3+ years and the work was performed skillfully, on time and with great communication. My service experience with our 27' Grady-White was positive whether it was performed in the shop or on our mooring. While now out of the western Long Island Sound area, I wouldn't hesitate to use them again for sales or service if I were to return to the area and have recommended Team Catalano to my friends without reservation.

Great service, great guys, great boat, great value. Never a lick of trouble for 20 years. Even though I am now three hours away I still bring my boat to Catalano's every year for service. I just know it will be done right. After 20 years of total enjoyment on my 21' Grady I just upgraded to a 23 and didn't think for a second about going anywhere else. My hope is that I live another 20 years so I can buy a new Grady from the next generation of Catalanos.

They've never missed a deadline, and even squeezed me in when I had a departure looming. They are responsive and reliable, a great example of a small business competing on quality & personal service in an industry (yachting) getting more and more impersonal and corporate.

I had a very disappointing experience with this business regarding the installation of a radar…read moresystem on my boat. The radar began having issues not long after installation, and despite two service visits, the problem was never resolved. What's most frustrating is that the issue was reported during the warranty period, but instead of fixing or replacing the faulty unit at that time, the business delayed and failed to take effective action. Now that the warranty period has passed, they've acknowledged the radar itself has failed but are refusing to cover the cost of replacement or labor--leaving me to deal with the consequences of a defective product and an incomplete installation. Their only offer is to bill me for further work on a unit that was never properly addressed in the first place. I expected better service and accountability. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this business and would caution others to be careful before trusting them with high-value marine electronics.

Finding a truly reliable boat mechanic these days feels almost impossible -- but this guy is the…read morereal deal. After years of struggling to find someone competent, honest, and detail‑oriented, I finally found a rock‑star mechanic who treats my 31' Tiara Open like it's his own. He's clean, knowledgeable, and incredibly thorough. Every job he's touched has been done right -- not patched, not guessed, not halfway -- done correctly. He's worked on everything from gas lines, water pumps, timing the engines, fixing wipers, oil changes, plugs, winterizing, commissioning.....you name it, he's fixed it, and he's fixed it perfectly. What really sets him apart is his professionalism. He shows up prepared, he explains what he's doing, and he doesn't leave a mess behind. The level of competence is rare, and the peace of mind is priceless. After years of searching, I can finally say it: I will never use anyone else. If you want your boat in the hands of someone who actually knows what they're doing, this is the mechanic you want. I've been using Matt Rysz for about 4 years now. If you want things fixed, he is your guy! Oh and you can tell a lot about how good a mechanic is if you see their boat. His.... You could eat off the floors!

After they apologized for missing my first email, they stopped responding after a few back and fourth emails when I provided them with design detail details for a quote they requested. If you're not interested in the job, just tell me, but it's very frustrating when a company won't even get back to you. I was ready and willing to pay for your services. Even if you try to claim that an email you sent got lost or something ( received no response) it would be customary and in your best interest as an owner to follow up with a customer, especially after the first email went unnoticed for weeks initially and was called out. I don't like to write reviews like this, but it's frustrating when 3 to 4 companies that do wraps provide the same experience and leave me hanging to the point where I buy a vinyl cutting machine and do it myself. These reviews should reflect your great vinyl wrap service shown in the portfolio... unfortunately, I didn't even get the opportunity to be serviced. I'm not trying to be a dick, but hopefully this will help improve the communication so the next client doesn't have to go through what I did and keep calling around to be ignored.

At one time I thought you might tell me to come get my car, BUT HE NEVER DID! I really bugged Ox Car Care and I bugged Car Depot, but you know what? Tariq always was kind and respectful and patient with me. I'm 61 years old and don't know a darn thing about cars so I really need to trust my mechanic. I trust Car Depot, because they did everything they could to get my car back on the road! 10 STARS FOR CAR DEPOT! 12 STARS FOR TARIQ!!

That motor worked temporarily but now that i brought it to a real mechanic after issues, he informed me the computer in the motor is shot and thats why the issues exist. So they sold me a second garbage motor and told us they were doing us a favor. Over 2 grand in repairs a year after they did the work.
