He's super detailed in his work, always providing pictures and notes to keep you updated every step of the way.

Franco Marine is the best boat Mechanic in the bay area! He saved my boat, when no one else could…read moreor would! After I was left with a botched unfinished job by the mechanic from the boatyard I was having some major work done in, Franco Marine came in, took the mess that was left, and made everything work just as it should. No one wanted this mess, but Franco Marine didn't even hesitate. He was also booked out more than a month, and told me he'd figure out a way to squeeze me in. Less than a week later on a Sunday, he came out and met me at the boat, did what he could for about 4 hours, got a list of parts and part numbers to complete the job, and came back a week later with the parts he ordered, and got my boat back in action. I'm very happy with how knowledgeable, and prepared with the right specialty tools, to get the job done, and how determined he was to get everything done right! When I say that the wiring on my boat was a mess, that's a major understatement. Previous Mechanic said I needed a new wiring harness, after calling me every week to tell me they needed to replace another 5 wires, and it was going to be another $1,000.... yah that crap.... then ordered the wrong wiring harness, halfway installed it, couldn't figure out how to finish the install, most of what was done, was done wrong, and the other half was just a mess of wires not connected to anything. Being that it was the wrong harness, there was about 10 extra wires with no place to go, and other necessary wires, missing from the harness altogether. He patiently studied the situation, did some research, traced every wire from beginning to end, figured everything out, and things that hadn't worked since I bought the boat, are now working as designed, and my engine is running great! I can't thank him enough for his help! If I could give him 10 stars I would, he certainly deserves it!

I've had an older Malibu Skier and my new Malibu VTX worked on, and both pricing and workmanship have been stellar. Glen will make you aware of what needs to be replaced and not force you to replace something that is not needing replacement or that can wait. With the amount of shops going under and the poor workmanship these days, Glen is on top of everything. No delays and great attention to detail. The pricing is good and at fair market value. What seperates this shop from the others is the service and honesty. I would recommend Glen and the crew in a heart beat.

From the start, he was incredibly helpful and professional. I was a bit hesitant about sending a large deposit for parts since we hadn't met in person yet, but in hindsight that worry was unnecessary. Art is the real deal and handled everything like a pro. The whole process--from the quote to parts and labor--was straightforward and transparent. The quality of the work, the convenience of mobile service, and the turnaround time all exceeded my expectations. I definitely feel like I got more than my money's worth. I'll be using Art & Son for all my boat trailer and mobile mechanic needs going forward. Highly recommend. 10 out of 10 solid AF Trailer is rolling nice now!

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.
