Just called ask few questions gave me alot of time helping me find a way help repair with my boat. Very nice & looking forward to help. Thank you
This is a great company that does great work. These guys are reliable, honorable, and will not let you down. They have come through for us once again after our son drove through some rocks with the boat two weeks before our next family vacation.The owner is knowledgeable and was very helpful in dealing with our insurance company. They have always done great work for us over the years.
Everyone knows that boating can present challenges at times. Ive experienced a few of these myself as a young girl growing up with my father and issues with his boats.Since my husband and I started taking our boat to Dave and his crew several years ago, we have not had one problem on any of our boating vacations. I highly recommend these guys for all your boating needs. They provide excellent service, the prices are fair, and they are very knowledgeable.
I had our boat in the shop this week and had a pretty good experience with this company. The staff was polite, professional, and a great help. The service manager voiced his opinion on what repair work needed to be done. He was always honest and up front with me.The facility was spotless, and so was our boat after the work was completed. Although the service was top notch, and we did have a lot of work done, our bill wasnt cheap with all the repairs. Still, Im happy with the over all service I received.
I took our boat to Marine Service Center for its end of season annual service and I am extremely happy with the quality of work and how accommodating they are with their pick up and delivery service. Dave and his employees are very knowledgeable and treated me like I was a long time friend. I will not let anyone else touch my boat from now on. If you havent yet, give these guys a try. You love the way your boat is taken care of.
AWESOME! We just picked our boat up this afternoon and it looks AWESOME!Our boat had been sitting for awhile and it needed a lot of TLC, which Marine Service Center did an amazing job with. So excited to get to the lake when our kids get out of school. I definitely recommend Marine Service Center.
The service here is fantastic! Dave and his crew were recommended to me by several of my coworkers a few years back and I have been using marine service center ever since. The staff has always gone the extra mile for both my coworkers and myself with their high quality of workmanship and helpfulness over the phone whenever we have any questions.If you are looking for a shop with high standards, these fellas really know what they are doing.
OUTSTANDING work from these gentlemen. Our Chapparral boat had been sitting for eight years unused. Marine Service Center picked up our boat and had it for just under two weeks while doing a total restoration. A full mechanical service with a few additional repairs were done. New upholstery in the bow and rear seating area. New bimini top and boat cover. Sanded, polished, and detailed the entire boat and trailer.I kid you not, this boat looks and runs like new again. We just returned from a week trip at Lake Powell where our boat did not skip a beat. Thank you gentlemen for the fantastic work! LP.
Will not sell parts you need unless they are the ones installing them. No help whatsoever.
Excellent! This was the highlight of my first visit to CA. The crew was so fun and engaging and the sail was well worth the price. Id do it again in a heartbeat.
We have been searching for a new place to have our boat serviced and we were referred to Marine Service Center by our neighbor. I drove to this shop wondering if this was going to be another bad experience since I had already had five horrible experiences with other shops in the Valley and Castaic area. In the end, I couldnt have been more pleasantly surprised. The technicians repaired our boat three days before promised and the repair costs were very fair. No hidden surprises and they did a great job on the repairs. This shop is a great place to have repairs done. They sure have earned my business.
I have been taking our boat to Dave for service since 2000. You wont find a more knowledgeable owner and technicians with many years of experience under their belts. They are always upfront and honest with the repairs they recommend, as well as their pricing.The servicing/repairs Ive had done were always done right the first time with no issues. I absolutely recommend taking your boat to these guys. Oh, and just a tip......I take my boat in for service during the winter and I would suggest you do the same. They do get very busy during the spring and summer months.
I had an older 19 ski boat w/ 5.0 Merc I/O, that had been sitting in my garage for 15 years that I wanted to get back in the water. I called Dave and explained it to him. We agreed that in addition to an impellor and a battery, hed do a general service and check it all out. $1,600 in, he told me it needed another $1,200 in I/O seals and the trailer needed $3500 in brake repairs. I couldnt afford it so I told him Id have to think about it. He told me hed take $1,400 if paid in cash. I paid him and took it to a marina storage lot. I called around and found a much cheaper reseal job from a highly reputable shop, but they called me the next day to tell me the engine block was cracked and unrepairable, rendering the boat worthless, and that Dave had to have known it; it was spraying water everywhere as soon as they started it up. I took a better look at the receipt from Dave and saw he had written but not ever mentioned verbally that the engine needed further inspection before use. Dave had known the boat wasnt worth the repairs. He would have gone ahead with the reseal and trailer repairs if I had agreed. He lowered the price for cash so I couldnt stop payment or dispute it like I could with credit card. Dave is an incompetent mechanic or a dishonest crook, and hell lie right to your face.
Dave and his employees are great. I had a really bad engine vibration in our Chaparral last year. Dave picked up and delivered our boat at no cost, diagnosed the problem in a couple hours and provided an estimate, and had the out drive repairs done the next day. I didnt have to do a thing. Thats service!!!!
Mechanics do great work. Staff was honest and accommodating with our work schedules when picking up and delivering our boat to our residence. Very happy with their service!
Service was fast and thorough. I have used them in the past and have never been disappointed. Its nice to know some people still take pride in their work.
If you are looking for quality service or repair the first time, from a dependable, trustworthy, forthright provider TAKE YOUR PRIZE RECREATIONAL VESSEL SOMEWHERE ELSE. All confidence in this firm has been lost ... on repeated occasions at “outrageous” prices.
Very happy with the job that was completed on my trailer and detail. Quick turn around.
Charges $25 more per hr than other shops. Ordered wrong part so boat was there for 3 weeks for one repair. 100% parts mark up and charged me $30 for shipping on that part. Only there 4 days a week. Not a member of BBB FOR A REASON.. Stay away!!!!
First time here and had a good experience. Prices are reasonable and the service was quick and easy.
Great work. Ill be going back for my next service.
No help customer service needs some work.
