Fantastic experience from start to finish!…read more Daniel and Casey were absolutely wonderful to work with. From the very first message, they were quick to respond, friendly, and super helpful. This is my first boat, and as a brand-new boater with an older Duffy, I wanted to be sure everything was in great condition and that I understood how to keep it that way. They came out the following week for an inspection, took time to learn how I planned to use the boat, and walked me through everything in detail. I already knew I needed a new voltmeter and rear nav light, but they also shared helpful recommendations and even showed me how to maintain water levels and other key basics for keeping the boat running smoothly. They followed up the next day with a clear, no-pressure quote -- and made it clear I could choose what I wanted to move forward with. When they came back to do the work, they were thorough, professional, and took extra time to teach me proper operation and care. No upselling, no pressure -- just knowledgeable, honest service and great people. I'll definitely call them again for maintenance and highly recommend them to anyone who wants their boat cared for the right way!

David leads the shop as a master mechanic, his wife Denise provides friendly and efficient service in the front office, and their son Derek rounds out a top-tier mechanical team. I recently took my Tohatsu outboard in for a check-up. After testing it, David honestly told me it was likely fine to run as,is rather than pushing for unnecessary repairs. I opted for the service anyway because I wanted it done right and value their thoroughness. They stay busy for a reason, they are good. Highly recommended!

I had an overheat problem with my Mercruiser 454. After installing new exhaust manifolds,…read moreElbows/risers, thermostat, then circulation and sea water pumps the problem still existed. We were at our wits end and getting discouraged as this was a new engine with less than 100 hours on it. As my wife works in the industry at a business with a similar name, we reached out to see if they could figure out what was causing our issue. Derek was very helpful and courteous as well as thorough with the inspection process. After a couple of days he figured out that water flow was being restricted at the transom due to a clogged inlet that was described simply as "mush". We obtained a new transom and had it installed. Derek called us up and said there was no more steam, the temp was back to normal and the motor was running fine. After picking up the boat, we took it to Elsinore for a test run with no issues. What a relief. For the scope of work performed, the cost was reasonable. That being said, everyone knows what BOAT means! Lol. A big thank you to Derek and the entire staff at Advanced Marine Service! Now we are bound for the river!

I couldn't be more happy with the entire process. My boat salesman recommended Brian/SlyCat Marine, as being the best mechanic and best mobile service in the So Cal area. Brian showed up promptly as scheduled, was personable and professional, and did an outstanding job at a great price! The mobile service by itself is such a great feature, and to do all this at a price point less than hauling your boat into a dealership for service is simply excellent. I'll for sure use Brian and SlyCat Marine again!

I needed to have the computers configured, a profile entered and a vessel view connect unit installed. After he had done all that the port engine still would not start. He immediately went right to the problem which was the shift shaft had been mis-aligned when the impeller was last changed. In about another 20 minutes he had the lower unit dropped, and properly reassembled and both engines running. His knowledge of these somewhat complicated engines is very impressive. Cant beat the cost either. Hes my mechanic from now on!

I highly recommend Thomas with Rhino Marine.

He completed the job on schedule and the quality of his work exceeded my expectations. Thomas reinforced my T-top, addressing the structural concerns I had, and also polished the T-top metal, leaving it looking noticeably better than before. He even fixed one of my blow fuses free of charge because he had extra in his bag of tools. It's hard to find a reliable mobile marine mechanic who communicates well, shows up when promised, and delivers quality workmanship, but Thomas checked all those boxes. I'll definitely be hiring Rhino Marine again for future projects on my boat.

I paid this guy $175 to come out and diagnose my jet ski. He told me he'd be here between 7:30 and…read more8:00 a.m. He didn't show up until 9. Because of that, I ended up being late to work. He was here for about an hour, didn't figure out what was wrong, didn't fix anything, didn't explain anything, and just left. No results, no answers, nothing. Later that same day, my uncle (who's a certified mechanic) came over and had the issue fixed in under 10 minutes. I reached out and asked for a partial refund since nothing was diagnosed or repaired, and his response was basically that "his time is valuable." That's ridiculous. So is charging people for doing absolutely nothing. Not someone I'd ever call again or recommend. Showed up late, didn't help, and refused to take any responsibility. Complete waste of time and money.
