We highly recommend Joe and Bulletproof Marine Services. Joe installed a new power plant in our boat, rebuilt the outdrive, and went through the entire vessel from top to bottom to make sure everything was operating safely and reliably. The quality of his work was outstanding, and his attention to detail gave us complete confidence when we got the boat back. Because we use our boat to take disabled veterans and families with disabilities out on the water, reliability and safety are extremely important to us. Joe understood that and took the time to make sure the boat was in excellent running condition before returning it to us. As a disabled veteran myself, I especially appreciated the extra attention to detail Joe gave the project to ensure the boat was safe, dependable, and ready for service. Shortly after the repairs were completed, we were able to take a disabled individual out on the water. It was an incredible experience and a genuine thrill for them--something they had never had the opportunity to do before. Knowing that our boat was dependable and operating safely allowed us to focus on creating a memorable day for someone who otherwise might never have had that experience. Joe's work played an important role in making that possible. Throughout the entire process, Joe was professional, knowledgeable, honest, and easy to work with. He kept us informed, answered our questions, and clearly takes great pride in his work. It's rare to find someone who combines such high-quality workmanship with genuine integrity and customer service. What impressed us even more was Joe's generosity. After learning about the work we do for disabled veterans and families with disabilities, he graciously provided us with a discount. That kindness meant a great deal to us and speaks volumes about the kind of person he is. The trust and confidence we have in Joe's work are the reasons we plan to return to Bulletproof Marine Services for additional projects, including reupholstering our boat, having a new boat cover made, and completing fiberglass repairs. We wouldn't consider taking our boat anywhere else. If you're looking for someone who is skilled, dependable, trustworthy, and truly cares about his customers, we wholeheartedly recommend Joe and Bulletproof Marine Services. We are extremely pleased with the work he performed and will not hesitate to use his services again in the future. Thank you, Joe, for your outstanding work and for helping us continue to serve disabled veterans and families in our community. read more

You called us an emergency vessel, sinking, taking on water, transport brought your vessel to our yard in emergency. We explain to you that we are full. We did extend our services to you. We refuse to work on your boat because you have a bad attitude your boat is full of black water , and it smells . in addition, we have numerous times ask you to arrange a transport to get the boat out of our yard. You failed to do so, and your transport company canceled three times we have to load the boat ourselves and transport. It deliver it to your marina in your slip . then you did not give us authorization to do any see trial, or finish up any loose ends, you could continue on lying. It is not going to help you threatening us trying to break into our yard.

When you write a fake review about a business you will end up with a lawsuit. All of the repair was completed and everything was checked out by yourself when you picked up the boat. You even did a software update to the state of the art electronics that we installed for you. Due to Covid shut down over a year ago there was a delay however you and your boyfriend added extreme amount of work in addition to the fuel tank everything is documented all photos was sent to you everything was approved by you and your boyfriend. The problem you have is your boyfriends wife found out you guys bought a boat and you're spending all this money on it. She said she never got her 66 convertible Mustang that she wanted and it was promised to her the day they got married. We have never got a single phone call stating there was any issue with the craftsmanship of our work. Me and you went through the whole boat everything was functioning. However when you buy a boat that was not operational for 10 years as we explain to you and your boyfriend you need to have all the mechanical gone through. Including the generator that was broken including the drive system that wasn't working including all the hoses that was rotted. You bought yourself a 1980s skipjack we did our share and installed state of the art electronics complete fuel tank all fiberglass work was perfect when you picked it up. We even detail the boat top to bottom for you at no charge. And now a year and a half later you're writing a fake review. read more

We have a 2008 Gulfstream tour master Rv our coaches, clear coat and paint started to fade a few years ago as we search for a company that has big enough paint booth to paint our coach. We were recommended to Bullet Proof Marine and Rv for their high-end quality paint work, after several conversations with Joe at Bullet Proof Marine, I decided to drive our coach to their facility . after seeing the quality of work that was being done at their facility that day I decided to leave my coach and have them repaint with additional clearcoat so I never have to paint my coach again. They're clearcoat comes with a lifetime guarantee, which was a big plus. And having that gigantic paint booth I felt confidence they will do good quality work. I have to say our coach today looks absolutely amazing. I want to thank everyone at Bullet Proof Marine and RV, for their hard work and craftsmanship. Thank you Joe for keeping me and my wife Sue in the loop with photo updates tremendous amount of work. I have to say the price was very reasonable for the quality of the work with a lifetime guarantee on the clearcoat. They also give me a care package at no charge. Thanks again . read more

I can't say enough good things about Joe and the team at Bulletproof Marine Services. I was transporting a boat and trailer from the East Coast to the West Coast when I ran into serious issues with my trailer. After calling around to several marine service shops, I got in contact with Joe who immediately understood my situation and jumped in to help. Joe went above and beyond every step of the way. After searching all over Southern California for the parts needed to repair my trailer, we determined it wasn't practical time or cost wise. Instead, Joe helped me source a new trailer, coordinated swapping my boat over, and assisted with delivering the boat to its final destination. All while I was an ocean away. Joe was cost-conscious throughout the entire process, an excellent communicator, trustworthy and went above and beyond to help me. His team at Bulletproof Marine Services also did an excellent job shrink wrapping my boat for the last leg of its trip. I can't recommend these guys enough, and would gladly work with them again in the future. read more

So I won my small claims case against Joe Tajik ( SOHEYL Hatimatajik). He went dark and thought he could hide. I got him served finally and now he has to come to court to show them how he can pay me. Everything this guy has said concerning my yelp review is BS. He will be under oath ( if he shows up) in court and if he lies he will be put in contempt. If he doesn't show up, a bench warrant will be ordered. Stay away from this guy, he is dishonest and hard to pin down and hold accountable. Note Joe's BS below. He is not being truthful. I'm posting the court date below. Proof. Joe doesn't have any case against me for anything. And Me owing him money? He would not have given my boat back if I did. He had to move my boat out because he had it for 10 months and I was going to sue him. Very unfortunate for all parties involved that the Marine Repair industry has little regulation and when someone gets screwed, it's a long process to get compensation. read more

Joe with Bulletproof Marine did extensive fiberglass repairs to my 42 foot power boat due to a wet and damaged core in the transom. The repair is now complete and the boat stronger than it ever was in this area. Multiple other professionals working on various projects during the repair have said the fiberglass work was very well done and done the right way. Joe was always available to answer questions or review progress. He either answered the phone or called me back promptly, typically within an hour or less. If you want a cheap repair by "cutting corners" and rushing work than don't call Joe. I feel very confident that my fiberglass repair is extremely solid and will last. This is based on personally watching the repair almost daily and comments from other marine professionals. The "worst" I ever heard was that the repair work was "over built". I am good with that! I highly recommend Joe and his team to do a quality job. read more

Joe at Bulletproof Marine Services is outstanding. He genuinely cares about his customers, treats you with respect, and goes above and beyond to advocate for you--especially when dealing with insurance claims. His knowledge of boats, engines, and hull construction is unmatched, and he's highly respected in the industry. When I first called Joe, he spent nearly an hour walking me through how insurance companies handle claims. The very next day, he picked up my boat and quickly identified the cause of the water intrusion that made it a total loss. From start to finish, Joe stood by my side and guided me through every step of the process. If you're looking for an honest, experienced marine expert who truly puts the customer first, Joe is the one. I, Rakan Alamat, recommend him without hesitation! read more

I transported my cruiser from Northern California to Bulletproof Marine Services in San Diego for a complete re-power and restoration.

I give Bulletproof Marine 5 out of 5 for great customer service, upfront pricing, and continuous updates throughout my project. Thanks again for all the hard work. read more

I brought my Winnebago Vista 31B to Bulletproof Marine Services for gel-coat and exterior work, and they did an absolutely amazing job.

He called me with regular updates, was always friendly and flexible, and made sure everything was done right. It's rare to find that level of communication and pride in workmanship these days. Highly recommend Bulletproof Marine Services for anyone looking for top-quality RV or boat restoration! read more
