As someone new to boating, AND with a young family that will be onboard our boat, I have to say…read morethat meeting Rolando and A Plus Marine Services was the best thing to have happen to us after the purchase of our sailboat. Our initial inquiry was after having some trouble starting our Diesel engine. Rolando was honest, professional and just an overall nice person that I felt 100% comfortable with upon meeting him. He was extremely knowledgeable and also willing to share information with me about things that I should be doing to keep our boat running smoothly. He went above and beyond to not only meet a tight timeframe we were on for repairs but exceeded that timeline by several days. All for a very fair and affordable price and provided a service experience that was exceptional. Rolando is (in my opinion) a rare breed of mechanics that is truly the trifecta: honest, caring and hard working. We feel so lucky to have met him and we will continue to have him service our boat for any issues that arise in the future.

However he came out got a feel for my boat, dropped knowledge on me, and steered me in the right direction. Next appointment were going to add a few things to the boat and get it all dialed in!

They are the only ones who work on the two mains (Volvo Penta D4-300) and through various issues large and small, the great team there (Jay, Chris, Gabriel, Liz and his dad Pete have been simply amazing. If I am not fishing, I am losing money ever day I sit at the dock and they have been instrumental in keeping us on the water. I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

I paid for diagnostic services on a no-start issue expecting a clear diagnosis and repair…read moredirection. Instead, I was given a list of things that might be wrong and thousands of dollars in recommended repairs with no guarantee any of it would actually fix the problem. They recommended replacing the manifolds, risers, and spark plugs for nearly $4,300 based largely on exterior corrosion. Before approving the work, I removed the manifolds and risers myself and found no significant internal corrosion, scaling, or blockage. The cooling passages were clear and the main issue I found was worn gaskets. Most frustrating of all, they still could not get the engine started. After continuing to troubleshoot the boat myself, I was able to get the engine running and found several issues that were never clearly identified during the paid diagnostic process. I paid for a diagnosis, not a list of expensive guesses. If you're considering this shop, ask for actual test results and confirmation of the root cause before authorizing major repairs. Do your homework before spending thousands of dollars here, I won't be back! I would not trust this shop.

I normally don't leave reviews, but I felt like I should…read more To begin, my starboard engine would turn over but not start. Explorer Marine sent out their lead mechanic, Beto, who had repaired my cousin's generator. The issue I was having was the gauge was showing a "check sensor, check engine message." Beto came out the first day and spent 6.5 hours diagnosing the issue, which he found. I was with him the entire day. I went to my boat a week later and the engine wouldn't start again. This time the gauge showed a "lost comm" error. Beto returned to my boat yesterday and left after a couple of hours. He said it was due to corroded connectors. I wasn't with him this time. Again, I saw him arrive and leave on my Ring camera today. I thought he had fixed it yesterday. He and another technician spent a couple more hours to mitigate a different issue. I thought, "Great, what now?" My head was exploding with dollar signs increasing. After speaking with Michael (Manager), it turns out one of the connector pins that plugs into the pcm was bent. It must have inadvertently happened when Beto was working on my boat the first time he was over. I emailed Shannon, the office manager and told her that I had spoken to Michael, who mentioned the issue was a "bent" connector pin. Beto confirmed it with the office, therefore, it was covered under warranty. If it was a different issue, it would have cost me even more. I HIGHLY recommend Explorer Marine. I feel a business with integrity will be nothing, but successful. They could have told me it was a different issue and could have charged me even more. Boat mechanics are NOT cheap and a good and honest company is almost impossible to find. Thank you Beto and Explorer Marine for your honesty!! I will definitely recommend you and your awesome customer service!!
