I wasn't from the area but from the time we called, the service was extraordinary the owner Dave was able to help us the next day he fixed the issue with the boat and not only that he drove the boat back to us and helped put it in the slip, it truly felt like a family and he made us feel a part of the family if you need any boat repairs anything to do with your boat you need to reach out to this company.

We love you, Dave, Mel, and Kim.

He even worked on a weekend as the situation was an emergency. He's extremely knowledgeable and persistent; worked until the issue was resolved. A rarity among mechanics and electronics technicians, Chris has a passion for the technical stuff and loves the challenge. He comped me a few hours work when he was troubleshooting as we went down a few false paths in the process of elimination. Chris of Dockside has been the only vendor of any kind to call and follow up post-service. He is also very professional, polite, and owns the right tools and equipment. I'm grateful I was able to hire him. Highly recommended.

I used Chesapeake Dockside Services in Annapolis, Maryland for many years for maintenance on my…read moreboat. I had a great relationship with Chris (the owner) and Rob over the years. For most of that time, service was solid -- they generally showed up on time, were helpful, and I paid every bill promptly. We had a good relationship for a long time. Over the last year or two, though, things slipped noticeably. They started showing up haphazardly, often not on the days they promised, and it would take a week to a few weeks to get any email confirmation or follow-up. Communication became very spotty. That came to a head when I was selling my boat and needed a tachometer issue fixed -- the engine was over-revving. I contacted Chris directly, explained it was time-sensitive because the boat was being surveyed for sale, and was told I'd be added to the list and taken care of quickly. Instead, I waited five weeks with no update, emailed twice with no response, and finally had to call the office myself to ask what the delay was. That's when Austin told me Chris and Rob were both out on vacation at the same time, leaving him as the only guy handling everything -- with zero communication to me beforehand that there'd be any delay. I was told a tech would come out that Monday. Austin confirmed he'd be there. He never showed. When I followed up Thursday, he said he'd just gotten busy and never made it out -- his response was basically, "good luck, I hope it turns out okay for you." The pre-sale survey happened before the tachometer was ever fixed. As a direct result, I had to lower the overall price of the boat and create a $2,000 seller's allowance during negotiations. I lost several thousand dollars because they didn't show up and fix the problem like they said they would. Despite a decade of loyalty and on-time payments, the lack of communication and missed commitments during a time-sensitive repair left me feeling like I was no priority whatsoever, and that our long-standing relationship didn't matter at all. I felt betrayed, and this growing pattern of unprofessionalism and lack of caring has reached a point where I would not recommend them, nor would I ever use their services again if I get another boat. You're paying a premium and getting low-budget service.

They found exactly what was wrong with my car down to the detail. They were quick with it and, when we found out my car's repairs would be too expensive to put money into, they worked with me and didn't try and scam me or anything into getting repairs, giving good advice on what to do. They are the nicest company I've been to for repairs, especially in the end process. 100% would recommend to people with transmission issues.
