We were at our wits end and getting discouraged as this was a new engine with less than 100 hours on it. As my wife works in the industry at a business with a similar name, we reached out to see if they could figure out what was causing our issue. Derek was very helpful and courteous as well as thorough with the inspection process. After a couple of days he figured out that water flow was being restricted at the transom due to a clogged inlet that was described simply as "mush". We obtained a new transom and had it installed. Derek called us up and said there was no more steam, the temp was back to normal and the motor was running fine. After picking up the boat, we took it to Elsinore for a test run with no issues. What a relief. For the scope of work performed, the cost was reasonable. That being said, everyone knows what BOAT means! Lol. A big thank you to Derek and the entire staff at Advanced Marine Service! Now we are bound for the river!

David leads the shop as a master mechanic, his wife Denise provides friendly and efficient service in the front office, and their son Derek rounds out a top-tier mechanical team. I recently took my Tohatsu outboard in for a check-up. After testing it, David honestly told me it was likely fine to run as,is rather than pushing for unnecessary repairs. I opted for the service anyway because I wanted it done right and value their thoroughness. They stay busy for a reason, they are good. Highly recommended!

This marine boat service is a rip off!! I dropped off my…read moreboat for basically oil/filter change and replace bilge pump. The original pump had current going in so the pump was bad. A $59.00 bilge pump. He charged me $730.00 but he said he was giving me a deal 10 % off for the month of February so my bill was $677.00 He started the boat and went over everything. Kai called me and said the carburetor needed to be rebuilt. I said that's funny I started it up 3 weeks prior without any problems and the carburetor was fine. Right away he said oh let me go back out and check it a little further. At that point I should have just picked it up knowingly he was trying to rip me off. I hate when companies steal from customers. Customer's are the people paying your bills. It's honestly, loyalty and word-of-mouth that brings in business. I Recommend if you don't wanna get ripped off take it to someone that's honest. This place is far from that!! So Kai charged for service of $400. To do an oils change, fuel filter and to replace a bilge pump. Honestly what mechanic takes 2 1/2 hours to do simple work. I'm posting my receipt to show you how they rip people off.

(Our boat cost $6,000). Obviously, we could not afford that AFTER he had already taken everything apart. Thanks for letting us know - And then, he was going to charge ANOTHER $900 to put it back together. lol What a scam. Nothing for $900. I should start my own business doing this!!! What a money maker. My husband had to put it back together himself finally so he can just sell it. Who has to do that??? I see other people have had the same experience. This guy does it because he can get away with it. (Add maniacal laugh) UPDATE: Rod answered back thinking I am a different Jennifer/Couple. lol I have never personally communicated with him. Only my husband. We were not THAT story.

We took our boat in (which is a big deal since we store it in a slip) to have them do our yearly service. Like most boat owners, we do our best to keep it maintained but also are aware that the boat had some deferred maintenance. They gave us a reasonable quote for the service and we asked them to go through the motors and give us a laundry list of items that the boat needed- and like most boats, it needed a lot. What we appreciated most was that they gave us plenty of options. Foe example, our hydraulic rams were pitting and leaking during the inspection and he gave us options down to each individual piston whether we could rebuild them, replace individual pieces, or replace the entire system, and his professional opinion on both. He showed us how our T-stat housing gaskets would leak due to corrosion and showed us how they cleaned it up and used a marine gasket maker to seal it and stop the leaks. It's not a permanent fix but the motors are 20 years old and we're just looking to get back on the water- not replace an entire engine block. When we went to pick up the boat he spent 30 minutes with us showing us everything that was done and answering our long winded questions. Before we left, the nice girls at the front desk gave us some official Honda Marine hats. Anyways, 10/10 would recommend.
