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

Really appreciate Capt joe taking extra time to help me with the boat and take a extra 2 hours to teach me all about it and help me since this was my first fishing boat.... Now fast forward about 5 years. I have returned to the boat house after searching for another boat. Wanted to upgrade into something that my kids and I could sleep on and have some awesome fishing trips. Have been looking for about 3-4 months and I found the boat here once again. This was a big purchase $100k+ . Once again tim and Capt joe were not pushy and extremely helpful making this purchase process easy and stress free. I couldn't be any happier with the boat I purchased. When it came time for the sea trial the owner of the boat came along as we were able to meet, it made the process that much more enjoyable. Knowing who I was purchasing the boat from and seeing how well the boat was maintained and cared for was a added bonus! Just want to thank Capt joe and Tim for their professionalism. Little side note; after purchasing my new boat , I consigned my old boat with them. It was sold in less than a week!!

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience with Breeze Marine Boat Services LLC was…read moreextremely disappointing. The project took 5-6 times longer than originally promised, and what started as an estimated $12,000 job ended up costing nearly $20,000. Despite paying significantly more, the quality of the work did not meet my expectations. When I picked up my classic boat, I found mechanical grease smudged on the seats and other areas, showing a lack of care for the vessel while it was in their possession. I was also disappointed to discover that they cut into the boat's original electrical system to install new equipment, including the squid lights, bait tank, bilge pump, and other components. On a classic boat, preserving the original wiring where possible is important, and I was never comfortable with how that part of the installation was handled. Communication throughout the project was another major issue. The business is run by a father-and-son team, but the father--the primary person I dealt with--doesn't speak English and relied on a phone translation app for nearly every conversation. This made it difficult to discuss technical details, ask questions, or resolve concerns efficiently. The most frustrating part is that after spending almost $20,000, I left feeling like I'll have to pay another professional to correct or redo parts of the work. That's not the outcome anyone expects after making such a significant investment. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Breeze Marine Boat Service.
