Jr showed up early , even wore shoe covers and completed the job in less than a day. I highly recommend Ready Electric over Boatworks.

Avoid At All Cost!!!!…read more I hate to do this because I love to see small businesses succeed but this experience was beyond horrible. I contacted Chad Pordes (aka Pordes Marine, Southern California Boatworks, South Bay Boatworks, possibly others but those are the three business names I've found him to be using) in mid September to service my outboard engine. He was informative and seemed reliable so I brought my engine to him. The next day he told me it was ready for pickup. Seemed fast but I appreciated the quick turnaround so I went to his shop, picked up the engine and paid him $388(over $100 more than he quoted me for the job). That same afternoon I ran the engine but it was worse than before, idled very high, had difficulty shifting into gear and would occasionally shut off. I immediately let him know but he told me that I needed to let the new fluids run through and that once everything burned off it would be back to normal. Fast forward two weeks and still no improvement. I contacted him again and he said that he'd take care of it. This is where things got bad. He said he couldn't duplicate the issues in his shop so he'd meet me at my slip the following day at 9am which was October 8. He was a no show and didn't even have the decency to call and let me know. Its a 45 min drive from my house to the marina so rather inconsiderate. I call him, he offers no apology but says he'll be there the next morning. Once again he was a no show. That happened 4 times before he finally came on October 15th. He looked things over and agreed that it wasn't running right but said that he wasn't able to fix the issue there and would need to take the carburetor back to his shop but would have it done and replaced in a day or two. I dealt with 3 weeks of his lies repeatedly telling me that he'd take care of it tomorrow. Obviously that never happened and then last week he stopped answering my calls or responding to texts all together. Finally November 4th I contacted the Marina Del Rey sheriff to see what my options where. I'm not sure if they contacted him or if it was just coincidence but about an hour later I had a text from him saying that I could pick up the unserviced carburetor from a box on his front porch. So now I have a disassembled carburetor and an unusable outboard for my trip to Catalina this weekend. It's unfortunate because he seemed like a decent guy at the beginning. If I had to guess, my assumption would be drugs. His behavior seemed consistent with an addict. Trying to earn my business he was friendly and responsive but once he got paid it was all lies until he finally cut off communication and tried to steal from me. Do better Chad

I was in an absolutely terrible situation with a new boat on an old trailer broken down in the middle of the street in downtown Los Angeles. They showed me so much kindness and care while remaining focused and oriented on getting the problem fixed the quickest they could.

George can work an arc welder and saw like a surgeon while Hike talked me through the best fix and what I could do to be of any assistance. The work is second to none and the people behind it are saints. Not only will i always consult them for any issues i hope i can be friends with them for the rest of my life.

I've been working with them since arriving in MDR from SF in 2016, so more than seven years, and give them a big thumbs up. Anyone with a saildrive knows the headaches they can cause. CC have serviced the engine and saildrive many times and have always done a top notch job. Their techs work with these systems all day long and have a deep base of knowledge & experience to help quickly diagnose root causes when issues arise. Rodrigo and Manny are a pleasure to deal with in coordinating support, and they stand behind their work. Carl even took care of pulling the boat and inspecting / replacing the SD seals after a suspected case of saltwater intrusion - all under warranty. My sail drive work over the past seven years has included installing a new leg on my SD-50 after the old one became corroded, lapping & later replacing the cone clutch, and inspecting / installing new seals. Engine work includes servicing and recent replacement of the damper plate.

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.

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.
