BEWARE! We dropped our boat off with Pete, paid $3,000 up front for parts. After him having our boat for a YEAR no work was done and no parts were ordered. He would not refund us our money and we had to surprise show up to get our boat back since he was ignoring our calls. When we picked it up it had a hole in the pontoon from a fork lift. Very disappointed and do not want anyone else running into this issue. read more

Pete stole money from us and told us to take him to court for it back after 2 months of waiting for a part and constant asking and getting excuses please beware and do not use him it is a scam and he takes advantage of people he will take your money and not get anything done read more

I spent 10k+ to buy an engine and was quoted a delivery of 2weeks. After a year still no engine, 6months ago I was told the money was sent back to my account. After 2 months of telling him no money had hit my bank account he told me not to contact him again as this was a problem with my bank- yet we couldn't provide proof that the money ever left his account. Horrible service, do not buy or use his services. read more

My buddy and I ordered a kicker motor back in early June and was told it will take 2 business days to arrive. Fast forward 3 weeks later, we still have yet to receive the motor. We tried calling them today to check the status but PETE just hangs up and won't answer his phone. I do NOT recommend buying from this place, the service have been so horrible and perhaps we could bring this case to BBB to escalate this matter. read more

Pete , the owner is an honest guy who truly wants to help boaters. He is always trying to help people. Pete has knowledge that is priceless. Have patience with him. he is not fast. but he is kind and that's rare in the boat business. read more

When I first called pete answered and had open spot for my boat with in couple days. So I took and the mechanic got on it did a great job. Found extra issues so they informed me about it and felt a lot more comfortable about my summer. I'd come here again. Thank you guys read more

Omg !!! Pete you did it again. You saved my boat. Thanks for fixing my boat as usual!!! just in time for a couple more trips out this season! read more

See all

Just bought a new SouthBay. Wanted to upgrade into a larger mercury motor, Pete and John walked me the the options and 72 hours later, we were on the water!! Service was great and as promised. Excited for their new location and marine product lines. Temecula Valley needed a great boat service and new boat sales dealer who actually understands. Thank you Pete and John!! 2 thumbs up! read more

I usually buy parts at Temecula Speed Marine. The either stock OEM or high quality aftermarket. These also fixed some gel coat on my boat. Overall great shop, very knowledgeable employees! read more

DO NOT TAKE YOUR BOAT OR BUSINESS TO THIS COMPANY, I recommended a friend to the owner Pete to buy 2 brand new motors in September 2020 for approximately $34,500, they paid upfront and got a invoice stamped PAID.....motors were never delivered for one reason or another, so they canceled the order and asked for a refund....he refused to give them any money back to this day 5/4/2021.....that my friends is blatant t***t, he is dishonest, incapable of telling the truth and just not a good person, how he stays in business is absolutely beyond me, if you read the reviews this is obviously his MO, I see a few 5 star reviews....guess what those are from friends and people he knows. There is nothing good about this man or his company you have been warned read more

All I will say is that the 5 star ratings were either paid for or begged for. TSM repowered my boat from a running set of force 120 engines to a dysfunctional set of 200 yam. it took 5 trys by TSM to get my boat in the water and use it, that was after I was promised that it was ready and was tested by their "mechanics"... wtf that means is anyone's guess. Not only were the hydraulics mounted such that the engines couldnt turn to port past 15* but none of gauges were operating... including the heat sensors. Later, after a remount.. I discovered that when the gas tank gauge had been installed, one of these "mechanics" stripped 3 of the 7 mounting screws, and I had gas leaking into my bilge, I was offshore about 7 miles when my daughter was getting sick from the fumes in the cuddy cabin... I made it back alive... the next test run 3 months later, after the season had passed... (yes it took another 3 months to replace and test the lines...) I was out, just 15 minutes and lost steering, again another faulty installation. Next rip was same as first 3 tries.. was promised the boat was ready and tested, got there to find out it was neither, waited 2 days in Oceanside to have their derelict mechanics team replace gaslines because they didnt know that those Yams required special gas lines due to super high injection pressures... jfc... that killed that year, it took util the following spring to get my boat back, they flat out refused to fix the F**ups they created. To make matters worse, I cant even sell the force engines because they literally ripped, cut and tore them out of there control bodies then they cannabilized engine parts and left me with 2 junked engines, they refused to accept responsibilities for the missing parts. Want an ongoing expensive nightmare???? use these assclowns. DT. Oceanside, CA read more

After 30 days of being bent over by Pete I took my boat to last chance marine. What a great experience. Pete wouldn't return a phone call. Last chance called me. I don't know how you stay in business pete,ur a joke read more

Nice shop, lots of parts on hand, small tackle shop, nice doggy in the parts store BUT the parts guys has the WORST (SUPER DICK) customer service. I went to get a bilge pump and they didn't have the 500GPH so he offered the 700GPH ( i did my research before hand and it fits) so I went down there to pick it up. We both opened the package and I inspected it and I measured it to make sure it was the same size. But then I noticed that it was a little dirty on the side and there was a nick on the side of the unit and one of the wires was already twisted and ready for a Bullet connector. So I ask him if it was a returned item and he BLEW UP!!!!!!! I'm a peaceful man so I let it go BUT then he said I don't have to buy it. WTF?!?! I didn't get his name because I'm not planning to go back. Last Chance Performance Marine is on 20 mins away from me. read more

Pretty good. I got my 3.5 hp mercury. I saw them in Fred Hall Show and got a good deal.

I bought a boat with an old outboard on it took it to Pete and he cleaned and serviced everything got it running perfect I've always had good service here and I also use them to store a boat. When I sold the boat Pete was there to make sure the new owner was satisfied with the sale and running condition of the outboard can't ask for more than that. read more

I took my 2003 boat for an upper unit outdrive repair in June 2018. PETE thought he could fix it and promised it done week after week AFTER WEEK for SIX long weeks. He NEVER touched it. I got tired of his unfulfilled promises and just picked up my boat and took it to another repair shop who fixed it in ONE day. I kid you not. So there went the bulk of the summer. You should have just said Volvo Penta was too complex for your toolbox of Pliers and Channel Locks... Worthless.... wanton waste of time Thanks for ALL your BS PETE !!! read more

DO NOT TAKE TOUR BOAT HERE FOR GOD SAKES!! Pete had my boat for 7 months! Would not return my calls. One day I drove up from HB to check on it because he doeant answer his phone ever and found it dumped with several other boats in a public parking lot. His business was gone! He moved and never even called to tell me my boat was sitting in a public parking lot!! Its oxidized so bad now from just sitting!! Your an asshole! I towed it to a real mechanic and he got me right in. If you value your boat stay away . How this guy is even in business baffels me. read more

They are definitely stepping it up . Check out the remodel. Pete knows his stuff to say the least. Best marine store in Temecula /Murrieta area hands-down! Yes and DON'T confuse it with the shop that use to be on Enterprise Circle - Temecula Marine(?)...That guy was a Jerk! read more

Do not bring your boat here! I needed my engines wiring harness fixed and Pete kept my boat for eight months! I went in many times and was told they they were going to get to it. I went in to get it and take it somewhere else and it was blocked in by several other boats and they would not move boats so I could take mine. How can this place stay in business! How can they claim to be factory certified when the only certified mechanic is Pete, the other guys were not! What is Mercury and Yamaha thinking? read more

I dont even want to give 1 star on this pete the angry man that is full of crap .I paid my kicker including the bracket and throttle controll and easy stir .after couple weeks after all promises i finally took the kicker motor out which he promised to install within a week and i paid everything june 8 its oct now havent got the bracket and rest of my order and everytime i called its coming maybe tom. I called mercury to check my warranty he did not even submit the kicker motor warranty . read more

They have a ton of knowledge but I think the only problem is they are just overwhelmed with the amount of customers

A lot of these reviews appear to relate to Temecula Marine Center, a different business that's long since out of business. Been doing business with Pete at Temecula Speed Marine for several years now. He's honest, reasonably priced, and knows marine engines (esp. Mercruiser) inside and out. I had a problem with my engine, which is in Marina del Rey and he drove all the way out several times to diagnose and finally fix it. I trust my boat to no other shop. read more

Temecula Speed Marine - Boat Repair Near Me - Temecula, California

Pete always has the best prices on parts around. He might quote you retail over the phone but once you are there in person price goes down. Not to mention the knowledge he has. read more

Very poor customer service. Never calls you back when they told you that they will call you. Hardly any parts in stock. Had to go to inland Boat in Perris and they have plenty of boat parts in stock. read more

If you want your boat ruined I would suggest taking it here. If you want your boat ruined and want to be yelled at by the owner Pete then this is definitely the place to go read more

i would give this terrible place 1/2 star but it wont let me ={ instead of sounding like an angry customer i decided to make a youtube clip of the voicemail they sent me, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZSOUeKoQvA so much for customer always being right... you decide whether these people deserve your business. read more

DON'TTAKE YOUR BOAT HERE!!!!! Took our boat there 2 years ago. It took them 4 months to look at (when Pete said he would look at it within a week) and another year and half to supposedly fix it. NOT A YAMAHA specialist. I am not sure if he specializes in anything but shitty customer service and complete lack of knowledge for fixing boats. read more

Where do I begin... I am a new boat owner trying to do a lot of work on my boat on my own. I had looked up boat stores and parts in my area and found Temecula Marine Center. So I went to this store, I did not shop around first I started talking to the owner who I thought was a good guy looking out for me, but as we all know that was not the case. I bought some items that were recommended to me by him. Such as 3M Marine Restorer & Wax which I paid 24.95 for 16oz, and later found out from the new Marine store I presently go to, that I paid $6.00 to much. Not a big deal one idea right. But here is were things started to go south. I need to buy a part that would allow the boat to switch in to gear. I asked the owner for the part (keep in mind I have the old part in my hand that we are both looking at). He asked "what engine in the boat"? I stated "89 2.3L ford cobra", he then replied "great motor, you need to make sure the oil and fuel are clean because that has a habit of back firing and causing a lot of problems. Also if keep it up to date you will have no problems". So he want in the back and retrieved my part that I needed and other items to make sure my boat would not have any problems like he stated. He then brought out the part and right off the bat I said "this part is wrong as we are looking at the old part together", He said "no the added piece to the new part had broken off the old one" I thought nothing of so I went home tried the part and seen it is the wrong on looked online and was insured it was wrong. I went back to the store and was greeted by a new employee who had just started. He had called the owner he said he was 10 to 15 minutes away. So I waited. After waiting for 45min he walked in stated looking for the right part he walkout of the back with a universal piece and stated this should work. The part was priced at $13.95 were as the old one was $30.00. He handed me the part and said I'm all set, I then looked at him said "there is a price difference"? He said "no let me look it up" He then went into the back room and was talking to his employee to were I could hear the whole conversation the employee had stated to him the part that I returned said for out board motor only, they owner stated that had told him i had a Mercury outboard and that is why he gave me that part. So I spoke up and said bull we had a long conversation about my in bored motor and you still handed me that part. After that he said "the price is the same and it is a even swap". After that I needed to find a new store and I did great place! the people there are real and will not screw you over! I had compered prices from the items I had purchased at Temecula Marine Center to the new store and I could of saved over $300.00 in parts. You can find the Marine store I shop at in my post. Make sure if you still want to shop at Temecula Marine Center do a little research first make sure you get your moneys worth! read more

Don't go here. Last year, they charged me for a part that was going to be installed on my boat. In good faith I just told them I'd pay for the service up front so there would be no balance once the part came in. A month later after getting no call, I call in, they tell me the part is backordered. After another month went by, I call again, nothing. Third month they finally told me the part was probably just never going to make it. I went in to get my money back 3 times after that. First, an employee refers me to come in when the owner is back. Then the owner refers me to come back when the employee who sold it to me is back. No dice the third time and in the end, no one refunded my money for the parts and service that were never received. I stopped trying to get my money back because it just ends up costing me more in fuel and time. read more

This was, because they are out of business now, one of worst places I have ever gone to for boat repair. The one time, and last that I brought in my boat , I had to pick up the boat with the repair work not done. After bringing in the boat , per the appointed day, it sat for a week without being touched. I complained , and asked why the delay ? The owner, got irate, and told me he to come get the boat, he would not do any repairs, I had to pay for parts that were not installed, and find another place to have it fixed . Customer service, not a clue with this place. read more

Temecula Speed and Marine is by far the best boat service and repair shop I have ever been to. Pete is so knowledgeable when it comes to boat repair and engine repairs. He knows what the problem is and how to fix it without breaking the bank. He has helped me with every challenge I have had with my Mercruiser. Highly recommend this shop. read more

Great service and show room. Pete and his staff helped me out with a new engine. The pricing was to good not to pass. I'll be coming to temecula speed marine for now on. read more

I made an appointment to drop off my boat in the morning before work but when I got there they were closed. The business next door told me they dont work consistant hours and they hear lots of complaints. They recommended I dont do business with them. I waited for 30 min and they never showed up. It not easy getting my boat out of the garage so I was very upset and took it to lake elsinore marine. They were awesome! read more

How these people stay in business is beyond me. And maybe they are not in business anymore. The last time I took my boat there was a couple years ago, and I've been meaning to review them. Horrible. Terrible. Awful . Someone get me a thesaurus I need more words to describe the customer service here. read more

To shorten a long story... This is the only Marine Service Center that I trust. I have tried every other place in the area.. I have been screwed by all of them... If Temecula Marine tells you a part needs to be replaced, you can trust that it needs to be replaced... They show you the old parts, take the time to explain why they needed to be replaced. Every person that I have recommended to them comes back with the same story... You can trust that they will do an honest job. read more

do not bring your business here!!! you will end up in small claims court!!! pete is the biggest jack a**! this company is horrible and has ruined my boat and now we are in small claims court! horrible company! bunch of liars with big promises they cant keep and takes months and months to get any work done! do not go here! read more

I've had 3 encounters with TSM. Pete makes big promises but did not deliver. He told me he would have my boat ready later in the week that I dropped it off. The first time it took 6 weeks. Second time was a simple fuel line replacement. Again, told me 3 days and took him 3 weeks, and many phone calls and trips to his shop. Recently took it in for a simple 2 hour job and he never even looked at it for weeks. He told me 4 times "I'll do it today". He knows his stuff but is very unreliable. Then he got pissed when I went somewhere else! read more

Dealing with Pete has been a nightmare! He never calls back and is extremely rude when you do get ahold of him. I waited patiently for a new motor for over 30 days while he gave me the run around. When I finally arrive in person 40 days later Pete doesn't even have the common decency to get off a forklift to help me. Instead of a new motor I am waiting for the refund to go through so I can purchase it from A REAL Yamaha dealer and not this joke of a shop. The reviews on here are real, please go somewhere else if you are deciding where to spend your hard earned money. I am so glad I don't have to spend my next six years under Yamahas great warranty dealing with this place. When you see the terrible quality and care going into the remodel of the shop you can expect the same care and service to go into your boat. It's like a casino, the bigger the facade the more you're getting ripped off. Update: I went to west coast marine service, I got the motor I wanted in three days and saved $500 over Pete's terrible price. read more

If I could give no stars, I would. Took my boat in for the 100 hour maintenance and he quoted me $450 and said to drop it off Saturday morning. When I went to get it after calling with no answer, he said 2 guys called off and he didn't get it done. Okay... Monday. Again, he does not get it done, doesn't bother to call, and no answer if I call. Finally... Tuesday when I call he answers and says it is done. Then tries to charge me $726!! After I complain he drops it to $645 and says he had to change the plugs, too... never called to discuss it, nothing. DO NOT USE THIS SHOP. Pete lied to me, and went well beyond his quoted price. read more

Just picked up my 2017 Mercury, 8 HP, long shaft outboard. Pete, the owner, was extremely nice and helpful. He registered my motor and warranty prior to releasing the motor to me. He went over the operating details and his employee mounted the motor on the transom of my drift boat. Pete had the best price around. He explained the cost and frequency of service. Although it is a long drive from where I live, I definitely dont mind going back to get my motor serviced there. read more
