I will say Ken is a straight forward guy and I do appreciate that. However, it was a disaster…read moreworking with him. He charged me top dollar to re rig a new outboard motor for my boat recently purchased and delivered to him. He called me when the job was done demanding I " come get the boat NOW because I need room!" Then he added " just one little problem, it doesn't run" He wanted me to pay him the full amount we agreed on too. He said it was a harness problem and take the motor back where I bought it. I showed him a video of the engine running at the dealer location including with the factory harness which they are required to do and he said "they probably used a different harness to cover up the bad one they sold you" Ken also clipped some wires he said " I didn't need" The dealer repaired Kens wire cuts and explained these harnesses are all plug and play and very simple to install. Ken also ignored the fact my battery cables were old and would also contribute to the engine failing to turn over. I shouldn't have paid him but did so thinking once it was proven there was nothing wrong with the motor he would man up and return some of my money especially after now having to fork over $800 to the dealer for repairs of his work .

Mel is the consummate professional. The absolute best of the best…read more If you're looking for a marine mechanic you can trust, look no further. Mel is always booked weeks in advance, and there is a reason for that - it's because he is very very good. After buying an older model boat and getting ripped off by a couple of unscrupulous marine mechanics (unfortunately there are a lot), I was referred by a friend to Mel. I am confident saying I've met my mechanic for life. Mel is hard working. I've seen him break a sweat hauling big engines over his shoulder or having to use a hand or electric Sawzall to cut out an uncooperative part of an engine. He is committed to doing to the job and doing the job right. Mel is smart. He knows out to think creatively when challenging situations arise with older tough-to-service boats. Mel is knowledgeable. There is nothing he hasn't seen. He has thousands of hours (over 30 years) of Marine mechanic experience and is certified in every meaningful marine mechanical skill. Mel is honest. He won't pressure you into doing work you're not ready for or don't need. He will give you an honest accounting of the facts and help you make the right decision for you, your boat, and your budget. He believes in the long-term relationship. I can't recommend Mel highly enough. It's a privelege to be his customer.

His quote was very reasonable. He estimated the job would take about 2 hours -- it ended up being 2.25 hours, so basically spot on. The work was clean, efficient, and done right. My seat looks great. If you need upholstery work done without the runaround, give Daniel a call. Highly recommend!

It looks like this place may have finally gone out of business- but if it hasn't AVOID at all cost…read more They have the absolute worst customer service I have ever seen in any business. You may choose to ignore the physical appearance of the owner and his son, who both look like they just missed an appointment with their parole agent. What you won't be able to ignore is their habit of adding ridiculous charges to their estimates AFTER the work is finished. If you refuse to pay they simply block your boat into their warehouse and refuse to give it back. They will then file a "mechanics lien" on the boat knowing that you will pay them rather than go through a civil suit to get your boat back. I have seen it happen to multiple people, multiple times. Stay away! You boat will never be in such bad shape that you need these shamsters working on it.

Just had the boat worked on with another facility because NorCal could not figure out the problem…read morefrom last summer. Our boat was at NorCal many times during the 2009 summer season and items that we paid to have done were never done. NorCal never hooked the boat up to a code reader ... there were many codes stored that would have clued NorCal to the problem with the boat (this is how the new shop found the problem!). The impeller that we paid to have replaced was NOT! We were very very lucky we did not hurt the motor because of NorCal's shotty service! We will NEVER use them again!

Thankfully, everything went well, but he spent the extra time going over things I had not even mentioned, for example checking belts, tightening hose clamps, tightening packing nuts on the prop shaft as well as the rudder. I feel what separated AJ from the other boat shops, is that he did not just look at the one thing he was requested to do, but actually spent the time going over everything to ensure nothing major was missing. I will certainly be using him in the future from now on!
