Pete does outstanding work! He goes way beyond expectations, and delivers world class service. He provides welcome advice on keeping your boat and trailer in top condition. Additionally Pete is a GREAT guy! This is the only place I will take my boat and trailer. Great service, no BS, won’t sell you something you need and great price. A true professional.

Pete is very knowledgeable when it comes to outboards. Always ensures the engine(s) are in top running order before it leaves his shop. I would recommend this business to anyone.

Met with honesty and transparency. If you’re looking for a mechanic who values both, look no further. He went above and beyond expectations. There’s nowhere else I’ll be bringing my boat to from here forward. Also, he provided pictures and status of his work during. He’s got a passion for this and that’s all anyone really needs… someone who legitimately helps

Pete was very thorough and provided great feedback on the situation. Attention to detail was fantastic. He is a straight shooter. Pete only dealt with the items that absolutely needed attention and did not throw extra unnecessary parts/labor at the project. Great service. Would return.
