I was in an absolutely terrible situation with a new boat on an old trailer broken down in the middle of the street in downtown Los Angeles. They showed me so much kindness and care while remaining focused and oriented on getting the problem fixed the quickest they could. If it wasn't for them i would still be there sleeping in my van trying to rectify the problem. George can work an arc welder and saw like a surgeon while Hike talked me through the best fix and what I could do to be of any assistance. The work is second to none and the people behind it are saints. Not only will i always consult them for any issues i hope i can be friends with them for the rest of my life.

George and Hayk came to my boat, assessed what needed to be done and gave me a quote. They completely rewired my boat and tuned up my Merc 150. They went above and beyond what I had asked of them and rewired several components on the boat that I didn't even ask them too and also fixed a small fuel leak they stumbled across. When he told me about all of the extra things they fixed I was thinking... "Okay now they're going to hit me for more money on work I didn't even authorize." When they told me it was all going to be under the umbrella of the original quote I couldn't believe it. I even gave them an extra hundred bucks for doing such a great job and treating me fairly. I highly recommend giving these guys the job. They are mobile and they know their shit. I am stoked.

Avoid At All Cost!!!!…read more I hate to do this because I love to see small businesses succeed but this experience was beyond horrible. I contacted Chad Pordes (aka Pordes Marine, Southern California Boatworks, South Bay Boatworks, possibly others but those are the three business names I've found him to be using) in mid September to service my outboard engine. He was informative and seemed reliable so I brought my engine to him. The next day he told me it was ready for pickup. Seemed fast but I appreciated the quick turnaround so I went to his shop, picked up the engine and paid him $388(over $100 more than he quoted me for the job). That same afternoon I ran the engine but it was worse than before, idled very high, had difficulty shifting into gear and would occasionally shut off. I immediately let him know but he told me that I needed to let the new fluids run through and that once everything burned off it would be back to normal. Fast forward two weeks and still no improvement. I contacted him again and he said that he'd take care of it. This is where things got bad. He said he couldn't duplicate the issues in his shop so he'd meet me at my slip the following day at 9am which was October 8. He was a no show and didn't even have the decency to call and let me know. Its a 45 min drive from my house to the marina so rather inconsiderate. I call him, he offers no apology but says he'll be there the next morning. Once again he was a no show. That happened 4 times before he finally came on October 15th. He looked things over and agreed that it wasn't running right but said that he wasn't able to fix the issue there and would need to take the carburetor back to his shop but would have it done and replaced in a day or two. I dealt with 3 weeks of his lies repeatedly telling me that he'd take care of it tomorrow. Obviously that never happened and then last week he stopped answering my calls or responding to texts all together. Finally November 4th I contacted the Marina Del Rey sheriff to see what my options where. I'm not sure if they contacted him or if it was just coincidence but about an hour later I had a text from him saying that I could pick up the unserviced carburetor from a box on his front porch. So now I have a disassembled carburetor and an unusable outboard for my trip to Catalina this weekend. It's unfortunate because he seemed like a decent guy at the beginning. If I had to guess, my assumption would be drugs. His behavior seemed consistent with an addict. Trying to earn my business he was friendly and responsive but once he got paid it was all lies until he finally cut off communication and tried to steal from me. Do better Chad

I needed to change my dripless while the boat was going to be out for bottom paint. I was told that I had two options. 1. Paying something like $500 to come in on the weekend or have their mechanic do the work at $160/hr +-. Either way it was a lose/lose situation. I really miss being down in San Diego.

If you're just having the bottom paint done it's worth it. They do a pretty good job for that but I…read morecan't really recommend them for other work. Mike and Shannon are great but I don't think their boat mechanics are up to par yet and the yard is very crowded and they don't seem to take much time or concern about tying your boat up carefully. I of course, had a huge scuff mark on the side from rubbing against something for a couple days while they attempted to put in a relay for my starter. I'm pretty sure they wired it wrong then jacked up my starter which I then had to pay to have rebuilt. After all that now my VHF radio doesn't work. Very frustrating.
