Quality work! They know what they are doing and get it done right the first time. He wont let you waste money on bad engine or wasteful upgrades. Fair price and clean shop and his dog comes to work with him! If you want your boat to get top performance this is the place! Because life is better on the lake!
This review is a bit late, but still wanted to share. I took my boat in for repair at the end of March. I talked to Brett over the phone, made an appointment and got right in. Within a week or so, Brett had my boat repaired and it runs like a champ! Brett stayed true to his original quote he gave me and I greatly appreciate that. You dont find a lot of honest people these days unfortunately, but Brett and his crew at CP did a great job. Ive been to a couple different shops over the last 15 years and will definitely visit Brett again when needed. Thanks again, Brett! Weve been to Lake Pleasant 3 times since the repair and the boat runs great!
Ive taken our Fourwinns to Brett for 3 years now. Annual service mostly. He is honest and trustworthy, doesnt do unnecessary repairs and is fair priced. Work is always top notch. I live in Flagstaff and tow to CP Marine for service even though there are other good shops much closer to home. Good people who do excellent work is worth the drive.
Timely repair with call and text updates -- the way it should be. I solicit confidence in anyone I do business with and Brett definitely has confidence in his work and problem solving. He took in my 2 Stroke Mercury EFI on a Friday, I test drove the following Wednesday, and sold on Thursday the next day. The engine ran better than ever before. CP Marine is my go to moving forward.
I took my recently purchased 1994 Craft-masters bass boat in to be serviced/tuned up, amongst a Variety of other issues. The quality of communication and results were great. He even went out of his way to provide a copy of the owners manual for my trolling motor.
Brett at CP Marine is honest, to the point and efficient. I’ve taken my Crownline 240EX (twice) to his shop and have not been disappointed. Both times Brett was accommodating by somehow fitting me into his very busy schedule. 💯 Everybody wants to be at the lake.. and thanks to Brett and the fellas at CP Marine I know If my boat needs service.. I’ll be back on the lake soon. If you haven’t checked these guys out.. you should. 👊🏼Thanks again, Brett‼️
Great first impression. We are new boaters, and found CP marine online. Took my boat in to fix an aft chair, mount a trailer wheel, and fix a ladder. The service was great, the price was reasonable, and it was done super fast. They even double checked my engine fluids for me. Brett rocks. I will be using CP for my annual maintenance and all of my boating repairs. Highly recommend.
Brett is a great guy and does really good work at a fair price - I feel extremely confident that our boat will be ready for the season after him and his staff are finished with our service. Thank you Brett!!
Great place. Dave was awesome and was very straight forward and honest. He could have easily done work that I didnt need to do to earn a buck. Instead he took the time to explain what was needed to get my problems resolved. I will most definitely be coming back for any repairs in the future big or small. I love finding honest mechanics especially marine mechanics. its a breath of fresh air . Will post update when I get her on the water.
Best boat shop in town. Excellent service, helpful attitude.
CP Marine is by far the best marine service in Phoenix! Brett is fair and honest with his quotes and the service / repair time is always fast. My boat comes back to me clean and has never run better. I highly recommend CP Marine to anyone who wants their boat fixed correctly and quickly for the best price in town. Thanks Brett!
I own a 1997 Odyssey 25 foot pontoon boat with a Volvo Penta drive system. It is extremely difficult to work in the engine compartment due to space limitations. Brett has always been very patient and has done great work on my boat at a very reasonable price. He was always on time and did the work for Usually less than what he quoted. He recently replace the starter and the shifter and now my boat runs like it’s new! I will not be using another mechanic!Rob Anderson.
We have searched for years to find a quality boat repair shop and are search is finally over . CP marine AZ 1st to care of our 1974 try haul even when other people would not even touch it. And when we bought our to 2000 sea ray deck boat he has been the only one that we have allowed to work on it and has done an excellent job He is very knowledgeable and does the job right he will take the time to adjust things Properly. I would recommend if you need a boat repair to come to him
CP Marine did an excellent job repairing our powerboat and doing the yearly maintenance! So happy we found a reliable and affordable place to take our boat!!
Took my boat to Brett back on May 1st. This was my first time taking my boat in and chose CP Marine based off the great reviews online. He did a great job and is beyond knowlegeble about any boat. Will be using brett for all my boat needs in the future! Thank you!
Having been screwed over by another repair shop in the valley, this place wanted to make sure that I had a good experience. they took care of me right away and made sure that the problem(made by other shop) was resolved. they even went so far as to vouch for me and to help me get a refund for the botched job that the previous shop had done on my boat. They went way above and beyond what was expected. They care about their customers. I highly recommend this place
Brett got me right in. My boat runs like brand new
We have had so many bad experiences over the years with boat maintenance/repair people! It is nearly impossible to find someone that is honest, capable, experienced and trustworthy when it comes to working on boats! How blessed we are to have found Brett! There is no one better, more knowledgeable or more trustworthy than him! Storing our boat in the Marina, there are closer, more convenient places that can work on boats but there is no one we trust with the exception of Brett! Our past experiences with other companies have been nothing short of a nightmare! If you want your boat taken care of and repairs and maintenance done right with someone you can actually trust, knows what theyre doing and will do right by you, do whatever it takes, drive however far and dont make the same mistakes we did and take it somewhere else. This is the only place you can count on!
I called these guys for some help with a starting issue on my boat. I was surprised that they were more into helping me solve the problem, than taking my money. He could have easily said I would have to look at it. Instead, he helped me solve the problem. I will definitely use them when I have something serious.
Poor WorkmanshipThis is in response to the owners comment: I have given your company multiple opportunities and $3000 to resolve the overheating issue with my boat. I have also incurred an additional $1250 in tow fees, after having my boat serviced at your company. After you replaced the sea-pump and impeller, you never flushed the system to remove old debris and broken impeller pieces - you had confirmed you did. This caused a blockage at the power steering cooler. Other items from your repairs: a bushing missing on installation of trim gauge sender, which it then failed the second time, and you charged me for this. You installed 2 new batteries with stripped terminals and negative cables where loose; I had to purchase new hardware and fix this myself. No care was taken on engine hatch, shock mounts, latch, and straps, which were damaged every time I had my boat serviced at your company.
Brought my 30 year old boat to CP Marine, Brett was very upfront and honest with me on the parts that I needed for my boat to run and drive good. He got all the parts that I needed and installed in a timely matter, I was back on the lake in no time and my boat ran phenomenal. I would highly recommend taking your boat to CP Marine for your boating needs, great customer service and good mechanic work.
CP Marine is the place to take your boat! Brett will take good care of you and your boat! A very honest owner. Quote was accurate and work was done quick and got us back out on the lake. Boat has worked great since work has been done. They went above and beyond for me. Brett has extensive boat knowledge and was even able to work on a Berkeley Jet Drive. Most shops seem afraid of boats like this but Brett was more than comfortable with my Kachina boat! When I picked the Boat up we even had a conversation about some small things I could do and where I could pick up the parts to do on my own if I wanted. Or just to order the part and he would also install for me. Just a real down to earth guy that knows what good business is. Not taking advantage of the customer and making them feel appreciated! Will be using them for as long as I have a boat. Finally found a good and honest boat mechanic!
CP Marine does great quality, honest work. Very knowledgeable. If youre looking for a marine mechanic, brett is the guy
Excellent service. Great owner who takes the time to understand the issues with your boat. Finished boat ahead of schedule. Price is very reasonable. Honest. I wont take my boat anywhere else.
After experiencing the horrors of other boat repair facilities...CP marine was a breath of fresh air. I highly recommend them for their honesty, experience and going the extra mile to ensure that the job is right!
Great place to do business. Brett is very helpful. I needed trim cylinder parts and he had them. When I went to pick them up he asked how I was going to remove the end caps as it needed a special wrench. He offered to do that for me. When I tried to pay him for his service he refused say that is part of customer service. Not many places like that left in this world. I highly recommend him. Any future boat work will be given to Brett.
Finally... an excellent boat repair shop. If you own a boat you know how hard it is to find a good mechanic who does things right. Brett took care of a lot of issues that other mechanics either overlooked or didnt know how to repair. If need need your boat fixed right the first time, look no further. Call CP Marine and book an appointment.
My husband and I bought a used bought from a couple who owned it for over a decade and kept good maintenance records with annual tune ups/repairs. We are getting ready for our first big trip to the lake with all the kids and took it to CP Marine. The service rep had our boat ready as promised in time for the weekend and running great. The price estimate matched the price we paid when we picked it up. We will be taking our boat back to CP Marine and will recommend them to anyone else in need of boat maintenance.
Brett @ CP Marine is what you wish every service tech/mechanic you inevetably must deal with in life was like. Honest, fair, efficient and personable. No nonsense with a local touch and price. I drive an extra 30 miles out of my way because i know what Im getting every time. I HIGHLY recommend CP Marine over the bigger shops. Thanks for keeping me towing instead of being towed Brett!
During the week of May 13th I called CP Marine on two different days, two days apart, and left a message on voicemail requesting a call back to schedule service. I never received a call back. On May 23rd I completed an online service request through their website. The site says ...you will be contacted within 48-hours by a service advisor. With the holiday I assumed I would be contacted by May 28th. Its May 31st and I have not received a call back.
We have always had a great experience getting yearly service and repairs on our boat. Superior workmanship and a great guy to boot.Very highly recommended.
I take my 21’ Blue Water Mirage with the Alpha One Gen 2 outboard and Vortec 4.3 V6 to CP Marine for service because I trust the owner, his service price is right and I know he’s a highly skilled master boat mechanic. One look at his service garage tells you that people trust him with some pretty expensive boats. Even race boats. I always get an honest evaluation of what’s needed and what is going to be needed but can wait until the next season. On one occasion just arriving at the lake, I was going down my check list and I thought I broke the throttle lever on my carb, so I took some pics and texted them to him. He responded right away and told me it was the choke and where the hole in the spring is to put it back. Instead of calling it a day, my family was boating and having fun.
Received great service on my 96 Nordic at CP Marine. Brett is a stand up guy and provided me with an explanation and pictures of any additional items that needed attention besides the annual service I brought it in for. He understands that not all boat owners are swimming in money. He works to find the most cost effective solution to keeping your boat running well.
First experience with Brett/CP Marine, I emailed a question thru his website on a Sunday morning not expecting a response until next business day, 30 minutes later I had an answer.Took my boat in for a yearly and overall evaluation and Brett explained everything he found and my options. Very pleased, only place I will go for marine service. Thanks Brett!
Im so glad I found CP Marine. There the best. Ive had boats for many years and hands down theres no better place across the valley. I now live in Payson and I will always use Brett for my service. Thank you.
I am very pleased with the service I received from Brett at CP Marine in Tempe. I was lucky enough to get same day service but you shouldnt expect that to always be the case. Brett communicated with me well and the estimate he gave was exactly what I ended up paying after service was completed. A lot of places lure you in with unbeatable prices but then they just take shortcuts and still sock you with several hundred dollars of additional required work before you get your boat back. CP Marine doesnt operate that way, here you can expect honesty, integrity, and high quality workmanship. CP Marine has by business for ever; you should give them a shot at yours as well. You will not be disappointed!
Brought my boat in for Brett to replace some bellows and he was very honest and told me only need to replace the broken one. Hard to find honest people these days. Also took extra time to take a look at another issue. I would differently bring my boat back to CP Marine again. Thanks Brett!!!
I’ve been taking my boat to Brett for a few years. There is no one i would trust more than him and CP Marine on keeping my 19 year old boat running and working like the day i bought it.
I have been taking my boat to Brett fro 2 years now he never tries to get me to replace parts that may or may not go out but always informs me of the risk and the cost. Very Honest very upfront he runs a legit and honest business
Brett installed 2 1000hp blower motors in my 36 Outlaw and did a tremendous job. Straight forward guy and does everything right the first time. I wouldnt go anywhere else!
Ive used Bretts services twice now..... once for repair and once for annual service. Straight, honest service at reasonable prices. Will definitely use for future work.
I have been having my boat serviced at CP Marine for a couple of years now and I have always found their service to be excellent. Brett runs a small shop so I always feel I get personalized service when I go there. Would highly recommend.
The man knows what hes doing and has a ton of knowledge. My boats will always be serviced here.
**Update after another service experience** Dropped my boat for service on July 3rd, 2018 @ 7:30am in the morning to diagnose and fix a bad gear oil leak in the lower unit. Brett called me at 11:30am same day. He says to me...Boats ready. Seriously...he turned my repair around in 4 hours of dropping the boat with him. Amazing service. Oh, and his dog is cool too.Brett is the most straight forward and up front business man that Ive encountered in the marine repair industry. He communicates everything that is going on while diagnosing a problem, patient in his troubleshooting (believe me, I had a challenging boat for him this summer) - and in the end, delivers consistently above and beyond the call of service duty.The other thing youll find with CP Marine - is that he gets on your boat right away...none of this drop it off and the work starts 3 weeks later like at many big boat dealers.Brett is The Man. Youll find him working on and building go fast boats as well as handling smaller production boats with Mercruiser and Volvo Penta setups. CP Marine is a solid marine service and repair operation.
Took my Duckworth in because it was missing really bad, I knew it was having a valve problem, the took the valve covers off sure enough the rocker arm studs had broke dooecylinder they replaced them put it back together and I was r
I just had Brett do the annual service for me and had a shifter problem, he found the problem and fixed it right the first time, also he sees things that others overlook. Do yourself a favor and call Brett first.Dont mess around with all the other boat shops around the Valley. CP MARINE is the one place I bring my boat for service and repairs... WHY? You ask? Brett knows boats inside and out! Being a Mechanic myself, I can smell B/S a mile away, I have never gotten anything but the most honest assesment on any issue I have had with my boat in the two years I have been coming to CP MARINE.
I have been using Brett for all my boat needs. He is a straight shooter. He is a no BS type of guy and always kept me in the loop any time something came up. He has no hidden charges and always gives you a great deal Im glad I met Brett for all my boating needs and he keeps me on the lake year round. Im glad there is still people like him doing great honest service!
Affordable boat repair from one of the Best Marine machanics in az. Fast and a very clean shop treats your toys like they are his own. honest place
Have decided to sell my pontoon boat and wanted to have someone check out the out drive. .Saw the ratings on CP Marine and arranged with owner Brett to take it to his shop yesterday. Brett and his Assistant used the forklift to repositiion the boat to hook up water, had me run the engine and test the gears and his conclusion was very thing was good. So when I asked how much I owed him for his labor and analysis, he refused any money. How many boat repair shops would do that??? Many Thxs Brett and I hope my comments will convince others to have you handle their boating needs.
Fast, courteous, honest. All I can ask for in a repair shop. In todays market, this is hard to find. Highly recommend if you need your boat repaired.
These guys really know their stuff. Personable, honest and affordable, what more could I ask for. Thanks!
Brett is absolutely the best Boat Mechanic around ! Honest, fast and reliable. I wont go anywhere else from now on !!
I want to share my experience. I have been working on restoring a boat for about 6 months now and Im to the final steps. I was having issues finding a set of controls that would work for my engine/outdrive setup. I was referred to cp marine by a friend of mine in the boat business. It was my lucky day. I stopped in and talked to brett. Explained my setup to him, and he walked me out to the shop. Pulled a throttle/shift setup out of an old parts bin and said here you go. No charge.cp marine made my day and a customer for life. When its time for fine tuning, Ill be bringing my boat to them forsure.
I have been using Brett for the repairs and maintenance for our 1984 Wellcraft. Honest as the day is long.
If youre looking for a mechanic this is the place Hes been working on my boat for 4 years
The guy do everything great👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
We have used Brett @ CP Marine for the last 4 years, I will not take my boat anywhere else. Its not always convenient for me living in Casa Grande (48 miles one way) to get it to him, but always well worth it. I lost the motor in my 1999 Mariah, he went out of his way to meet me at his shop after hours and helped me decide if it was worth fixing or not. Once he showed us that it was worth fixing, went over pricing which was reasonable and what he told us when finished, we scheduled the repairs. He not only fixed it ahead of time, with great communication (pictures & videos) of what was going on, he stayed late so I could drop off & pick it up. We were back on the lake this weekend, the boat ran perfect, no issues what so ever. I highly recommend Brett and would not trust our boat with anyone else.
Guy answering the phone is clueless on boat repair, hire someone anyone.
Great service, on time, boat runs awesome
Super nice guy, offered advice that saved me lots of hassle tracking down an issue on my boat. Thanks Brett!
