I was in the process of rebuilding my Yanmar fuel injectors, and dropped by for some parts...with great trepidation after all my other negative experiences here. What a welcome change! I had my parts, and was out the door back to my boat, within a few minutes. Their mechanics are the best on the west coast, and barring any changes to the counter staff, the service counter is now staffed by very knowledgeable, and kindly people. Really first rate!

Had to bring retired mechanic. Finally they called me to come, showed disassembled engine, pointed to worn out part, refused to repair due to the age, reasoned that some parts are not manufactured any more (though possible to buy), charged $800 and refused to provide an expert opinion why there was water ingress in the engine block. This whole ordeal took almost a year.

I took it to Bridgeview Marine to get a second opinion and they let me know that M&P put the carb in wrong and installed the water separator incorrectly. Are there technicians incompetent or unlicensed? I will never bring my boat back to this garbage company. I recommend you avoid them too. At a minimum, they should provide me with some compensation to account for their negligence. They need to retrain or fire whichever incompetent tech worked on my boat.

A place where I can get a great exchange rate north of the border, have great value on parts and certified help when needed. Last time it was across from downtown Vancouver at the Creek's Boatyard. I needed some prop work, a weld done, tuning and major rigging work done. With no fuss or hassles they bounced right on it. They gave me a quote for the work and (no surprises) met their price and they did the work rather quickly. I keep my boat in La Conner, but when I have serious work to do, I will go up to Vancouver's Creek Marina & Boatyard. It's well worth the trip. Good people are found there.

Super service: As my Espar unit was so old, replacement parts were going to be a problem ... Jake had the answer here as well: PYS stocks old inventory/used (from another job). Best of all, as there was no warranty and I was able to pick-up the 'used' thermostat at PYS, they supplied the part for free. Now that is old-school customer service. Very much appreciated; I can recommend PYS (and Jake) extremely highly.
