I came to Boat Specialists to purchase a new trailer. Not only did they have a great selection of…read moretrailers, they had them IN STOCK which is unheard of in these times. Kyle, the sales person I was dealing with is fantastic. He has a great attitude, very knowledgeable and extremely responsive. Kyle got my trailer all taken care of on the business end and then turned me over to the service department to complete the work. Everyone in the service department is top notch. This has been the only boat repair service that I've ever left happy. All of the guys in the service department are very helpful and friendly, which I am not used to when dealing with boat people. They gave me a tour of their entire facility which is new, indoors and quite large. All of their repairs seem to happen in a large, clean and fully stocked Costco sized warehouse. They even have a fiberglass shop and paint booth. This place is fully stocked with Outboards, general boat gear and everything you could possibly need. It's extremely clean and well organized. Like anywhere else that's top notch, you might pay just a little more but it's definitely worth it. Worth it enough that I was inclined to write this review over a boat trailer. If you want a quality product with quality service to back it up, these guys are definitely who you want to go to. Also, they also included a complimentary torque wrench to keep the wheels properly torqued. They'll show you how to use it if you don't know how.

And now if I ever need major work done or a haul-out, I'm coming here even if I have to motor all the way from my home port, Long Beach. Why? Well, there's some obvious superficial reasons such as the fact lay days are less expensive, and the yard lets you DIY. For the last, not only do they LET you DIY, they ENCOURAGE it. From what I've heard and seen, every other yard in SoCal at the very least discourages it, while many simply don't let you do any of your own work blaming their insurance. But the REAL reason VHB is so great is the people: everyone I encountered that worked at the yard--and I was there, working and living aboard my boat, for about two and a half weeks--was helpful, professional and friendly. Here's the list: -Mike, head of customer service. -Dale, foreman of paint and fiberglass. -Jose, head mechanic on the big boat side. -Brad, head mechanic on the small boat side. -Karen, head office administrator -Dale, main lift operator -Harry, supply guy -Nico, mechanic -Andy, mechanic -Chris, paint and fiberglass -Ibo, paint and fiberglass Hope I didn't miss anyone. A couple of examples of how great the people are there-- -Mike, head of customer service, steered me away from GPU packing when I ran it by him that that's what I was going to use for repacking my stuffing box. Sure enough, I looked it up and the graphite can react with some metals in drive shafts causing electrolysis (a kind of dissimilar metal corrosion). His many years in the boat repair business saved me a potentially expensive and even dangerous mistake. Plus, his interpretation of lay days was always in my favor. Just an all around good dude. -Dale, the paint and fiberglass foreman gave me a masterclass on fiberglass and HELPED ME patch my built in water tank. I'm an English teacher and his clear instructions and patient manner had me taking notes on ways I could improve in the classroom. A masterclass by a master craftsman at no charge. And both Dale and Mike showed me around the yard, gave me a tour of the yard's boat that they completely restored (keeping the original name because the previous owner explained to them he'd named the boat after his mother), and told me a bit of the storied history of the yard (some of it involves restoring famous classic wooden boats as well as helping big time YouTubers refit). I got an education and an irreplaceable experience. Their motto on their t-shirt says it all, "Just Love."

Although on boats my entire life, I was never responsible for one and I was intimidated. The owner, Captain Jair, met with me and developed an effective plan to diagnose and make the repairs, as well as to teach me how to Captain my own vessel. His lessons were, and continue to be, practical, educational and experiential. The repairs were made with common sense, which saved me SOO much time and money. Ventura Boating Services is amazing and hands-down I would recommend them to anyone who owns a boat or who even just enjoys boating and wants to learn more.
