    Patrick Kelly and his staff here at South Shore Boats saved our family vacation!…read more We rented a house on the Keys with a boat dock and after dropping my Cobalt in the Tahoe Keys Marina it took all of about 5 minutes for my impeller to blow out, this caused my engine to over heat, which caused my coolant to boil over. Bad day I called every boat repair shop and mobile boat mechanic I could find but everyone was either not answering, or busy and booked solid for at least three weeks... and frankly most of the folks I spoke with at other shops were rude. My friends and family were just sitting at the house waiting for me to arrive with my boat to take them out for a weekend on the lake. I thought I was destined to rent a boat and store mine on the trailer for the weekend. Was losing hope... I was at the point of asking random people at the marina if they could help me get an impeller and put iit in. Then randomly, I met Patrick Kelly, owner of South Shore Boats, who happened to be dropping his boat in at the same marina. I asked him if he could help us and he asked me to drive my boat to his shop and he'd meet me there. About an hour later, he and his staff had me up and running again. My friends and family are forever grateful for Patrick and his kind spirit. He could have been just like all the other shop owners and blown me off, but he didn't. He knew he could help out another boater and he took some time to do it. Good man here.

    This crew of mechanics are Amazing! I would not take my boat anywhere else, period! First off, I…read moretrust ever word they say. They won't not give you a bunch of bull like most boat mechanics. I'd just got my boat check out in sparks because I was making a weird noise. They found nothing wrong... So my buddy recommended to try these guys. Wow!! Amazing knowledge! They pulled my boat apart in minutes, figures out the issues. Had me back on the water in hours. You are crazy to look any where else. They really are thee Best in the Biz!! Also they were able to help me get a sweet boat slip for a fare amount. Anything, these guys can handle from my jet skis to my boat they've handled it all. Thanks Guys!!

    Beware of this place and Luis the owner. In short lousey mechanic, dishonest, and a grumpy old…read moreman. I kept my boat there over the winter, they winterized it and shrink wrapped it. I paid them $45 per month for storage, which was fine. In May they got it ready for spring and changed the oil. I paid $330 for this. I towed the boat home to Incline and checked the oil, it was dirty. I called Luis he said to bring it in and they would change it again. He claims they changed it the first time and could not get all the old oil out that is why it was dirty? Not my fault, if I pay $72 for an old change it would be nice to have clean oil. So far no big deal. I take the boat out on the first trip of the season and within in 30 seconds of accelerating the boat sputters and dies. Carson Tahoe Marine forgot to secure the hose clamp on the main engine hose so it popped off. They disconected all the hoses and drain the block to winterize. Water sprayed all over the serpentine belt and soaked the engine and fuel pump. The engine died and would not start. I towed it back to Carson Tahoe Marine and Luis said they would look at it. The next he called and said I need a new fuel pump for $1500. I asked him if you was going to pay for that since it was his mechanic that caused the problem. He said NO come pick up your boat and hung up on me. I towed the boat to another boat mechanic in Carson and they dried out the electical connections on the fuel pump and the boat runs fine. All for $110. I called Luis to explain the situation to see if he would honor is crappy work and pay me back the $110, he won't answer the phone. This place is pathetic.......DO NOT GO THERE!! Should be 0 stars!!!

    Had my boat winterized in fall of 2017 at there Hwy 50 shop. They found water intrusion in the oil…read moreand advised I likely had a cracked block. Told them to do an thorough oil/filter change and run again to see if problem was still present (as we had a few rough storms at the lake that could have caused the problem). They called back and advised the intrusion was still present after the oil filter/change and reiterated the cracked block claim. I took the boat to another mechanic for a second opinion. He changed the oil/filter and ran the boat. Oil was fine- zero intrusion- and noted that the oil filter had not been changed previously. Have ran the boat this summer with no problems- oil looks great.
