I was in the process of rebuilding my Yanmar fuel injectors, and dropped by for some parts...with great trepidation after all my other negative experiences here. What a welcome change!

Poor service through their negative attitude and lack of communication…read more For the most part they were rude, moody and petulant. Skookum was very poor at communicating. They left you in the dark. They disliked dealing with the client. You are an annoyance to them. The co-owner/mechanic is knowledgeable, experienced and competent. The work he did was good. He performed the major repairs. However, their only other mechanic? who was left to finish off the repairs did not complete the jobs and his work was left uninspected and unrectified. I had to correct his work and complete the works myself. At $175/hour! Not impressed! They claim it was from a lack of time. False. Time was not the issue, they just didn't care about completing the work, and correctly, needed done to comply with survey. After long a month of waiting, I just left. This was a frustrating, unpleasant, and expensive experience.

Highly recommended! They retrieved glasses from the murky bottom of False Creek! Great sense of…read morehumour and heart! Thank you!

Owner was rude, and would not answer if the motor had been serviced recently. Instead he told me to…read more"read the ad again". I did so, and explained that there was no information on the last service of the used engine he was selling. He then took it personal and started calling me names, when all I wanted was a last service record of the 15hp 2 stroke he was selling. Really strange interaction. Incredibly unprofessional.
