Stay Away, they are literally thieves. Long story short, they told me the ecu was defective and I…read moredecided to order a used replacement part (which cost $500). I brought the part to them to start to repair to only find out that they didnt even use the part that i brought them. I confronted the older gentlemen (owner?) and he gave me the most ridiculous story and tried to cover up their lie. I told them that I knew they were lying and to just give me my part back which they claimed they threw away. I left that day and told them I would report them to the authorities for stealing a $500 part and magically they made up a completely different story and they found the part that they were supposed to replace. I went and picked up my part the next day. Total scammers. Be aware and check their work. I will continue to report them on all fronts.

Chris at Chesapeake Dockside is amazing. He was able to help me out during some of my engine…read moreproblems in Annapolis when other vendors were more interested in winterizing. He even worked on a weekend as the situation was an emergency. He's extremely knowledgeable and persistent; worked until the issue was resolved. A rarity among mechanics and electronics technicians, Chris has a passion for the technical stuff and loves the challenge. He comped me a few hours work when he was troubleshooting as we went down a few false paths in the process of elimination. Chris of Dockside has been the only vendor of any kind to call and follow up post-service. He is also very professional, polite, and owns the right tools and equipment. I'm grateful I was able to hire him. Highly recommended.

Last year, he repaired paint damage on a…read moreused car I purchased and this year he repaired a dented bumper (due to damage from my own driveway and trying to get the car out between other cars) and paint damage on the same car from a shopping cart and a deep scratch car on my truck. He did a great job blending the colors and the results are great. You would never know that any repairs were done. The prices are reasonable and he was quick to return messages and schedule an appointment. I don't leave reviews often but I highly recommend Color Solutions. I cant be happier with the results.

Grid Michal provides travelling/ On Site Outboard Engine and Boat Repair. Excellent service,…read moreknowledgable, and reliable, all of which are a bit unusual in the area. Grid's expertise has been really helpful - I just bought a 20 year old boat, with 2 twenty year old outboards. I've had occasion to deal with a few mechanics in the process, and Grid stands head and shoulders above all of them. He'd be worth bringing my boat to, but even better - he does his repairs at my dock. Perfect. I strongly recommend him for small powerboat repair needs

You can read her rating of herself in this review section. I had my 44' sailboat there all last 2025 season. The electric shore power pedestal did not work when we got to the slip in May. We were assured it would be fixed immediately. I kept asking all summer. Always the same answer but no fix. All summer I had to run my own longer cable to various other pedestals which sometimes worked and sometimes did not. All that time my cables were run over by dock traffic. Management response to other issues was similarly bad as well. I won't go into it all. The season's experience was frustrating. Requested services were promised and not performed. Lower-level workers were very helpful. I expect to see these guys write some sort of rebuttal in the form of another self-assigned 5-star rating to offset this one. All I can say is "reader beware".
