If I could give more stars I would. Tim is an incredibly skilled and knowledgeable mechanic (in not just marine but also car/ truck engines as well) and an even better guy. I ripped the deck out of an older boat and Tim and Billy were with me every step of the way. For the things I could do myself Tim allowed me to use his tools and supplies to save some money. For what I didn’t know how to do Tim took the time to explain and TEACH what he was doing (both an extremely rare find and goes to show the honest business and services Top Repair provides). I won’t be going anywhere else but Top Repair and I recommend these guys to everyone who needs work on anything that burns gas. He is the outboard GURU!!
Tim did a great job fixing my 1980 Grady White with a 225 Johnson Evenrude engine
Was recommended to Tim by a friend and he did not let me down. Called him on a Saturday at 2pm with an electrical issue. He said come down Ill look at it. Was there within the hour. He found the problem within 25 minutes. Explaining every step. I just found my new boat mechanic. Hes great professional, experienced and well priced. Really really impressed. Wish I could give him more stars!! He saved my family boating weekend. Thanks again Tim...Mike from islip terrace
Tim at Top Repair is THE BEST marine mechanic/technician I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He is incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, fair, and honest. He will do exactly what is asked and make recommendations to ensure your boat/engine(s) are in proper order. If you are willing to listen and learn, Tim will take the time explain and educate so you can be a better boater and understand how your engine and components function and are made to function. Throughout the years, he has worked on all of my boats/engines and I feel safe knowing he has inspected and properly maintained them. I cant say enough great things about Tim and his work.
Called Tim to ask for advise on a boat purchase. In a few minutes he provided me with a tremendous amount of information. He definitely knows his stuff. Thank you Tim!
Best OMC Mechanic on the planet!
Best in the business, repairs any motor I bring to them, even the neglected ones and gives them new life and turns them into reliable motors. They take the necessary time to evaluate and walk you thru step by step of their process and keep you informed. Prices are best bang for your buck and there is never any surprises like other mechanics Ive used in the past. Will continue using their services indefinitely.
Tim and Bill performed top notch work on a restore of a classic Chris Craft Lancer. A head turner where ever we go. Compliments always. Installed teak swim platform, teak added to interior and a teak instrument panel. Also installed new electronics and all new drive shaft, cutlass bearing and prop along with hydraulic steering. Real pros that you don’t find anymore. Local treasures .
I had motor problems, it was idling really high and tim told me to bring it in and he would take a look at it .he immediately found the problem and assisted me with fixing it, then he went over my boat with me and gave me advice on lots of other things, hes very knowledgeable and I really appreciate tim taking the time out to get me back on the water
If you are looking for a marine mechanic, look no further than Tim. He is friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and very fairly priced. He somehow managed to get my old Evinrude 50hp running better than ever, and taught me how to do several things on my own to maintain it too. Tim is the only person I will go to for all things motor and marine, and if you ask his customers they will all tell you the same. He is simply the best.
Top Repair is an outstanding marine and engine repair shop. Tims knowledge goes far beyond just simple repairs, hes an educater and an honest guy. For a novice like myself its quite welcoming! If youre looking to purchase a boat I cant see asking anyone else to inspect it prior, he genuinely cares. Would give more than 5 stars if I could!
Tim rebuilt an older Evinrude 175 for me. Now I know why people say he is an outboard Guru. He takes the time to explain what he is doing, though I witnessed many times when customers didnt bother listening. He guided me through the process of turning an old piece of scrap to a piece of art.Even after he was done with the rebuild he cared enough to take the time and make sure my family and I would enjoy his work. If you need quality boat work this should be your first and last stop. Take the time to listen to what he is saying, and you will realize Tim cares about what he does. I wont mention which one, but I saw a bad review by someone. I was at the shop when Tim spoke to this person and explained the problems on his boat and what it would require for proper repair. Tim spoke with respect to this person and the customer didnt even pretend to listen, yet he was able to complain after he ignored Tim. Oh well! All I can say is how happy and pleased I am that he was recommended for my work. If you want it done right go to Tops Marine Repair. I feel Ive gained a great marine mechanic and friend.
Tims work is unmatched me and him worked on my 2003 Evinrude 150. He taught me many new skills and explained how problems can occur and how to go about fixing them. My motor was running terrible when it came in and when it left it had never ran better. I cant thank Tim enough for the work he did and I will be seeing him again for any future repairs and maintenance
Tim over at Top Repair is the guy for all your marine engine repairs! I was told by a couple of people to bring my motor there and sure enough Tim helped me get back up and running. I was on a budget and Tim still was willing to work with me and get the job done. When I told him I couldnt afford to do more, he gave me professional guidance and took multiple phone calls to get me to the finish line. My boat runs great now and I owe it all to Top Repair. Have no hesitation, Top Repair is the real deal! Thanks Tim!
I got an old small boat with a 30 yr old Johnson/Evinrude 30hp outboard. The outboard had not ran in 3+ years and once I got it running with the help of a few friends with outboard knowledge, it was running very rough, stalling, spitting...and it is a mish-mosh of Evinrude/Johnson engine parts and mid section. An acquaintance recommended Tim at Top Repair: Hes your guy...he knows those motors in and out. So I called and took the boat and motor to him on a Friday.Once I got to his shop Tim came right over, we put the old outboard right in his water test tank and he adjusted the carburetor. After a few minutes, it was running pretty well, but he advised to have a service performed (t-stat, gaskets, etc) and I scheduled a repair service with him the following week.Tim called the following week confirming all parts were in and to bring the boat in. 2 days later, just in time for the weekend, he calls you are all set, she runs well and Id like you to hear it running when you pick it up. All excited, I went over, and he ran it in his test tank....motor sounded so smooth, solid idle, great response....I could not be happier. I took it out in the bay that weekend and the 30 yr old frankenstein outboard ran like a top....smooth and varying throttle was no issue.After having the motor shut off several times and idling to shore a few times, this was a welcome experience; to have the outboard running so well. Ill be heading to Tim for all my boat repairs. He offers great service, excellent scheduling and super easy to work with. Great guy to chat with too.Thank you Tim!!
Tim is a fantastic mechanic, he diagnosed a problem I was having with my Yamaha outboard, replaced the part and got me back up and running quickly. I highly recommend his repair shop.
Calling Tim at Top repair is always a pleasure. He returns calls fast,and the job is done right. Most importantly,he educates you about your boat,he explains how to prevent problems and how to maintain things. He wants you to enjoy your boat. I highly recommend Tim over at Top repair.
Stopped in and Tim was able to help right away and saved us a whole weekend of work. Knew exactly what he was doing, speedy repair and a very fair price. Highly recommend!
Great guy, even better mechanic. He restored my outboard and took the time to teach me how to take better care of my 1996 90 HP Johnson cross flow. Will be calling him from now on whenever I have a problem.
Tim is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to fixing boats and their motors. Prices are super reasonable and he gets the job done and done right! I am so glad that I found top repair and will continue to use them anytime I need a mechanic for my boat.Tim took my call and had me come in, fix my boat, and send me on my way within an hour of me arriving at his shop. Unbelievable service!
Tim is an absolute professional and true master of his craft. Not only does he do a thorough job in diagnosing and addressing mechanical issues; he provides the customer with valuable knowledge on how to diagnose and troubleshoot problems as well. He did a major engine work on my MerCruiser 454 Magnum inboard and I couldnt be happier with every aspect of his service. I will never go anywhere else for my Marine repairs. Thank you Tim!
Tim is awesome! Really cool guy and a great mechanic. I called him came down and he dropped what he was doing to help me. He knew immediately what was wrong and fixed it within a few hours. I thought I was going to have to leave my boat there but he sat there with me and tested everything out. Now my 1996 90 HP Johnson runs beautifully. Highly recommend him. Much better than other stuck up mechanics who won’t work on engines older than 10 years. AAA+++ guy
Really good service, they definitely know about a engine.
Timmy is meticulous and knowledgeable. Timmy rebuilt my outdrive, installed it along with some other miscellaneous things that were beyond my mechanical knowledge. Tim also took the time to guide and explain to me what I can do to keep my boat on the up and up. Honest, fair and always available.
I have been bringing my boats ONLY to Tim at Top Repair for the last 15+ years and I have NEVER had a problem with his work or his prices.Tim is the most thorough and honest boat mechanic I have ever known and I have known many in my 55 years of boating.He completely rebuilt my current engine ( 225 Yamaha) 9 years ago and it is still running strong- all thanks to his efforts.I have recommended at least 10 family and friends to him and they are all very satisfied with his work and prices.Big or small - he does it all- first time/every time.
Brought our Thunderbird in for work and Tim is unbelievably knowledgeable and helpful. Always a pleasure to come here.
Timmy has been doing a great job, always giving me the right information I need. He has overhauled several outboards for me. Always better than new. I have recommended him to numerous friends that also have had great success
I called Tim on a Sunday about my 70 hp evinrude not running right he told me to bring it down. He tore down the entire motor in front of me until he found the problem and it ended up being a complete blown power head. He gave me a very reasonable price for an overhaul and its something Im definitely considering. I will always recommend and bring any problems I have to Tim at top repair very patient and knowledgeable makes you feel good about bringing your motor to a mechanic. Did I mention he did this on a Sunday?🤔
Tim he is the best of the best Mechanics and kindness man ever he works very hard to save time and money for everyone when you need to repair your boat he is the honest man and friendly, thank you Tim and Bill for repair my boat . Larry
This guy only does work if you stand directly behind him and push him to do it. Claims hes teaching you about your repair while you do the bulk of it. Then charges for labor hours.Would rather wait weeks for parts delivery than go out in public to a store so he can have parts same-day. Repair took three times longer than it should have because hes just lazy.
Tim is the man! There is nothing he can figure out. Saved my engine did a complete rebuild on my ‘96 Yamaha and restored to to new! Thank you Tim.He is the only marine mechanic I trust!
Tim is an outboard motor savant. He knows everything. Very personable, knowledgeable, honest. I would not still have my boat without Tim. He is usually available 7 days a week.
I hired Tim 4 years ago to inspect a boat I wanted to buy and Ive been using him ever since! I highly recommend Tim, he is very knowledgeable and helpful and will get to the bottom of a problem. He has also taught me much about motor maintenance. Thank you Tim!
Timmy at TOP is the best. I had a problem with my boat going on plane took it to Timmy he reworked my prop added vent holes and fins everything is fine now. Today i took boat out of winter storage and tried to start it it was leaking gas talked to Tim he said bring it down and i will take look at it. All it was was a stuck float he adjusted the carbs and sent me on my way. He knows what he is talking about. Would recommend to all needing service..
Tim is the best Marine mechanic Ive ever known and he will help with getting your job completed asap.
