First of all I wanna tell you that my boat is in marina del Rey, which is about an hour away from this shop, but I tell you, it was worth the relatively long drive. I had two shops with great ratings look at it and they were slow (I mean one place kept the outboard for one month and half!!!) and did not fix the motor. One of them even broke a screw creating a big issue. The folks at Lake side were the best, most efficient, friendly, no bs, pain free experience I ever had dealing with boat issues. I took a chance and it paid off, cost wise also, way cheaper. If you are at MDR, I encourage you to try this alternative, other than the slim options down here at MDR. read more

Avoid this shop at all cost !!! I feel sorry for anyone that takes boat to this place for any work and not checking Yelp first .My dad took his boat for tune up before he sold it to a guy. H p marine quote him 2 grand when done his bill was ,,6 grand price goudge of 500 bucks to remove the drive shaft then 500 to install it .labor cost book can't be more than 3 hours max . .it's a shame a boat mechanic has to be such a crook . 3 times the amount of a quote total scammer .I would sink my boat before I'd let him do work on mine . read more

Spent over $4000 boat still doesn't run. When I questioned the invoice the absentee owner said F and you. Gave them still another chance .....took boat to water. Still doesn't run. Run from this business at all cost run run run Un professional over priced and management has no knowledge of boats ... and have no idea when they are doing. Wife tries to up sell you a trailer light package first time she sees you. No no no And no read more

If you feel like getting lied to, taken advantage of, bullied, have your money stolen from you, pay for service you did not receive, I would highly recommend this place. What a scammer and a shady person. Do not I mean do not take anything to this place. So sad there's people like this. Only good thing about this place is you get to see what a mold infested unhealthy atmosphere looks like, the way the office is and the drywall hanging off ceiling above the workers head is terrible. What a wreck of a business. Take your boat somewhere else. read more

If you are having trouble with your boat or your current shop, don't trust this place to set you right. I have this shop two chances foolishly, don't do that. They claimed to perform work that wasn't my performed, collected the money and then ghosted me and stopped responding when I asked what was up. This wasn't "oh they missed it" this was a situation where I brought boat in to work on the fuel tanks and drain them and when I took it home...old tanks full of bad gas and no response to texts or calls anymore. I sincerely hope that if you are co side ring this shop you save yourself the headache, heartache, and money. read more

Poor workmanship and even lied about how work completed. I brought my boat in for my front boat windshield separating from the bottom around the boat. A boat with this type of issue requires a flexible glue to hold as well due to vibration. I even asked if they used this type of glue, answer yes. See for yourself. read more

See all

Please don't use this boat shop. They give you a estimate of 16-20hrs than they try to bill you for 30hrs. Don't play there game. I know for 100% that the boat was worked on for 16hrs. I was there when his mechanic started it tues at 9 am and i was there when he finished it wens at 1 pm. The owner has the nerve to tell me that i should not be talking to his mechanic. That's great i would love to talk to the owner but i went to the shop 4 times in past week and he is never there. Never trust a business that does not want you to talk to there employees I do trust his mechanic though hes a good guy the owners are the problem. I HATE LIARS read more

Not real happy with this shop. Took boat in for 2 issues. A leaky hull and boat wouldn't turn over. Turns out the battery was not holding a charge. 2 hours of labor charged to diagnose the bad batter. Was told it was an "electrical" issue in addition to the battery. Right. I asked mechanic to show me the electrical issue he solved. He advised it was in housing inside outboard motor. Asked him to show me and he couldn't. Pointed to a wire housing that looked to have never been accessed. I asked what he did and he said he "reconnected a loose wire". Maybe. When he couldn't access the housing to show me I had doubts it was anything but a bad battery. $310 for labor plus the new battery. Another 1.5 hours to fill the boat and advise the hull did indeed have a leak and would be $4000+ to weld. They needed to pull apart the boat to weld inside and out. 3 days labor was estimated. Seemed high. Told owner that i would see about getting repaired under warranty. Paid over $650 for a new battery replacement and confirmation the boat had a leak. My fault for not filling the boat with a hose and for not taking battery to AutoZone and testing the battery. $650+ mistake I won't make again and hopefully no one else will either. This is the closest marine repair shop to me. They could have earned future business and a positive review. read more

Total scam artists. I was so excited when I thought I finally found a place to fix my Jet Skiis. They told me they knew that type of machine really well. BOY WAS I SCAMMED! After hours of trying to diagnose the problem, I realized they really did not know what they were doing. I never write reviews on anyone, and don't do social media or any type of review apps, so I'm using my daughters yelp account to get the word out- that's how angry they made me. This is more of a warning to anybody that needs repairs on their watercraft. This cost me hundreds of dollars for absolutely NOTHING!! Please don't get taken like I did. They were such cowards, they made it a point not to be there when I went to pick up my jet skiis. It's pretty sad that this is how they have to make their money. read more

Dishonest! Avoid this place at all costs (literally ha). Brought my boat in with a list of concerns to be addressed - was advised of a $115 diagnostic fee. Paid and waited a further week before hearing back. When i did hear back, none of my concerns were addressed. Not only that, but I received outrageous labor quotes (6 hours to rebuild Carb), (2.5 hours to replace choke solenoid on the side of the carb), (7 hours for a water impeller) with an understanding that it still may not run right (2.5k worth of work). When asked to justify these trumped up numbers. The owners response was "you don't have to approve the work". He clearly never looked at the boat and had to go out and look while we were still on the phone as i explained why it was outrageous. I denied the estimate and advised we would be picking up the boat. When we did come to pickup the boat - they charged an additional $50+ and we found the engine bracket damaged. Fortunately they did not provide a written estimate nor had one signed by us as required by California law §§ 410-418. We will be performing a charge back on our Credit card and hope to never deal with this Shady shop and advise you do the same. Gives mechanics a bad reputation read more

HP Marine - Carburetor - Solenoid on the left. Rebuilt 2 weeks before appointment. Took 45 minutes including taking on/installation - Boat Repair Near Me - Santa Clarita, California

I recently purchased a boat hard top that was custom fabricated for another vessel, and found Mr Hooker very helpful. Got some OMC fuel filters for free (will return once tank issue solved), and got some very useful help from the team. This shop puts an extra effort into it! read more

Brought my boat here for some repairs and an engine tune up. The mechanic was very knowledgeable and friendly. They gave me a fair price for the work compared to other places I would recommend this place to anyone! read more

The guy only installs parts if you have them and states he does all types of diagnostic services but told me he only installs parts at that point you can just save yourself a couple bucks and do it yourself but he was kind and professional read more

Great work, quick turn-around and even washed and vacuumed the whole boat. Amir and his crew are great, highly recommend! read more

Avoid this place! Dishonest, incompetent, unprofessional! They ripped me off for over $800.00 in trumped up "diagnostic fees" and grossly overstated labor hours. BEWARE!! According to their online info they have been in business since 2016 so any good ratings they have prior to that were the previous owners. Their good reviews since then must come from people that have no idea how much things should cost. SCAM ARTISTS! read more

Not sure if I would ever use them again overpriced they sound very convincing they're doing everything in your best interest however overpriced very overpriced. Had 3 carburetors rebuilt and a impeller and it was $1, 000 no fuel filter no gas tanks checked no nothing that's overpriced read more

I am not big on writing reviews, but I MUST write this one. Amir was the MOST HONEST, TRUSTWORTHY, CAPABLE, KNOWLEDGEABLE, AND CONSIDERATE person I have met in my 50 years as a boat owner. I was shocked to hear of his recent sudden and unexpected passing, as he and I were the same age. He will be GREATLY MISSED. The boating industry has been hit with a very nasty and pre-mature blow by the passing of Amir. I PRAY for his family, and look forward to seeing him again in Heaven! God bless you and your family Amir, as you were truly a blessing to me and many others!.... read more

I brought my 1978 Southwind jet boat in after 14 years of it sitting in a friends yard and Amir fixed up the engine like new. He was very honest what he could and could not do and the pricing at each step. The only down part is that he did not provide any extra gas when it was time to check my boat out. His guys did pump gas in the engine to run it, but that was it. Overall I would recommend others to use this place as they know what they are doing. read more

Don't go here!! They are incompetent, dishonest, unprofessional and more. I took two boats to them because I heard they were good. Big mistake. I told Chardonnay that I needed to have my trailer wheel bearings packed and that my trolling motor and fish finder were not working. A week later she sent me an email saying that the "Trolley Motor" (It's a boat, Chardonnay, not a street car!) needs to be replaced and the cost would be $1619.99 plus 4 hours of labor $460.00= $2079.99. I answered that I couldn't afford to have them do the trolling motor but to go ahead and pack the wheel bearings. I am 69 years old and have had a dozen or more trailers in my life. I am NOT a mechanic. I used to pack the bearings myself but for the last 20 years or so I have been taking them in. It's usually about a 1 - 2 hour job at most. When I got the bill it was 6 hours ($690.00) in labor to pack 4 bearings on a small trailer! The bill also included $115.00 "Diagnostic Labor" on my trolling motor which could not possibly have been more than pressing the "on" button and seeing that the propeller did not spin. I took the trolling motor to a real repair facility and they simply replaced the lower unit for $470.00. It took me about 40 minutes to remove it and about 30 minutes to replace it. They were going to charge me 4 hours of labor for that alone. My other boat basically got a $920.40 tune up on a standard V-8 engine which would probably been around $250-$300 at a reputable shop. All in all, they charged me $1,794.06 (This included a $172.50 "preferred customer discount" (LOL) for work that should have been no more than $953.19. They over charged me $840.87! They will really gouge you on "diagnostics" and labor. This does not include the extra $679.99 that they wanted to charge me for the trolling motor. COMPLETE SCAM ARTISTS! read more

Whatever you do do not take your boat there. Mr Amir is a charlatan not a boat Mecanic. I took my boat there after spending $ 2000 for him to have a look at my motor. He always have a story the boat is not working properly. Still charge you and don't fix shit . Do yourself a favor find another boat shop. read more

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! When I stopped in to HP Marine, it was the week before July 4th - so you know their shop was BUSY! I needed to sell my boat, but it had been sitting for 3 years and was not water-ready. My buyers wanted to know the boat was sound - and they were driving from NorCal. I was pretty sure HP Marine would not be able to fit me in for the summer, but I had to try! They knew I was in a tight spot, they worked with me, somehow found some time to give my boat the TLC it needed and communicated with me every step of the way. My boat was ready later that day, we put it on the water at Castaic, and my buyers were on the road home... done and done! I can not say enough good things about how Chardonnay and her crew took care of me. They are fantastic!! Thank you!! read more

Great place and great service! Highly recommend place to go when needing service on your boats or water craft.
