Iain couldn't help but laugh at my marine situation and I had to laugh too, but he immediately understood the predicament and got me scheduled first thing next day.

Don't bother calling anyone else. These guys rock.

He is as others have Reviewed a friendly, kind, honest top notch boat engineer/mechanic. Sam was able to get our boat repaired and back on the water in no time. Sam took the time to explain the process, offer options and share his opinion on best choice for repairs. Prices are more than fair and he is completely transparent returning used /broken parts. I'm currently using Sam again for a steering problem and I've received the same exceptional service! He is the best. Happy Boating !

We recently completed a comprehensive refit of our 43 foot, older European boat and needed an…read moreoverhaul and update of our electronics and complicated electrical system. Jim did a fantastic job, though we didn't believe him at first when he said it would take about a year, but he was right about that and most other things about our boat. We're very happy with the outcome and the quality of his work and grateful to find such a high level of expertise for our projects. Aurora, Jim's wife does a great job supporting their customers, they are a great team. Highly recommended! [The attached photos are just a glimpse of Jim's work. Check out the "Bilge Tree" that Jim built for us with the primary bilge pump on the bottom and high water pump mounted above it, with the handle making it easy to pull out of the bilge for maintenance.]

They knew the boat systems well and were able to complete the task in no time at all. They also updated all the software and fixed a wire that was improperly installed sometime previously. Most surprising for me was the level of professionalism...the two 'service technicians' wore clean overall uniforms + matching hats...they didn't make a mess or break anything while doing the work. Additionally, they were clear and informative about what they were doing. I am definitely going to use them in the future.

American Star Marine has been the first and only shop to be straight forward with me regarding my Merc. The services that I have received have always been top notch.

If you want an honest person to work on your boat, go to American Star Marine.

After years of non-use of my vintage Merc V6 outboard, I did some basic fuel tank and carb…read morecleaning, new filters, etc. but had trouble getting the boat to run right, start reliably, idle properly, etc. So I brought the boat to Jacques at American Star and he suggested a carb sync, plugs, throttle and timing set-up, and he got the boat in quickly and did the work faster and at much lower cost than expected. On start-up at home, I thought it needed add'l adjustment when cold and he suggested to meet the next morning at the dock, where he made a few adjustments. The boat is starting and running better than it has in years. I was able to get service quickly, on a stubborn problem I've dealt and couldn't fix myself which is now corrected, at a very reasonable price. I'm a happy customer and I can say he really knows his stuff and I'll follow his advice on running the boat, prop pitch/type and even fuel additives.

I highly recommend using them for any fiberglass/gel coat boat repairs. Will definitely be going through them again if ever needed!
