Martin Gross--AKA The BBQ Doctors--really came through for us this year! We have a 20+ year-old Grand Turbo BBQ that was not working properly and was grimy and dirty. Martin saved us a ton of money by picking up our BBQ and refurbishing it. Within a week, we had what looked like an almost brand-new BBQ! It's squeaky clean and polished. The ignitor now works with the first push, and he replaced the grates, burners, and even cleaned the ceramic tiles. Martin went above and beyond by patching a rusty hole in the back and replacing the broken temperature gauge. He also happened to have a used tile rack on hand which saved us from buying a new one which runs about $270.00. He's very generous and honest as the day is long! The BBQ looks amazing and works even better. Thank you, Martin and Joe! read more

Yesterday was my dads birthday and we were having a BBQ celebration on our back patio when suddenly his brand new traeger stopped working! We had many guest over and it was beginning to get late without any food being served, so we after hour called The BBQ Doctors hoping they could help. Their team was so responsive, despite it being after their hours of operations, and patiently walked us through the repairs over the phone. Within less than 30 minutes, we were not only able to find the issue at hand which was a loose wire.... but completely fix it! We strongly recommend their services and appreciate their awesome help! read more

I needed new flavor bars and gas tubes on my Gas Weber. He was quick to respond and on time to do my repairs. He suggested after market sites to order parts. He arrived on time and was able to resolve any issues he encountered and completed the repair quicker than I expected, his price was fair and not overboard. When he was done he went over my BBQ and suggested very useful tips. I highly recommend Martin. A very satisfied customer. read more

I have a 1998 Weber Genesis gas grill that had a outdated hose regulator. Didn't think it could be replaced because of the age & availability of replacement parts. I was ready to get rid of it. This grill was passed down to me by a very close friend and has sentimental value. My wife talked me into looking at options for help and we found Martin. He was great on my initial phone contact with him and talked me thru the entire process & repair options. We agreed to have him clean the entire grill and complete the hose regulator replacement. He picked up the grill, completed the work, and delivered it as promised looking great. I would highly recommend Martin for all BBQ cleaning and repair services. read more

Our BBQ would not get up to temperature, so I called The BBQ Doctors to see if they could come check it out. Got a thorough diagnosis of the issue and it looked like whoever worked on this previously installed the wrong valves for each burner. They helped me order the parts necessary to save money. When the parts came in, they came back and installed them. The BBQ works perfectly now and they also cleaned it up. Very Knowledgable and quick to solve any issues. Would definitely call again! read more

I don't usually write reviews but Martin makes this easy. He answered the phone right away and after explaining my problem he had me do several things and my BBQ was fixed. It was so fast and easy and I was able to grill after we hung up. He is very kind and caring which makes such a difference. Thank you Martin !! A very special guy. read more

I was referred to Martin at the BBQ Doctors to install my new grill. It required modification to my outdoor island which was no small feat, give its extra sturdy construction, but Martin tackled it in stride. In the end, it was a perfect fit. Further, I was on a tight timeline and Martin went out of his way to accomodate it, even though he was a bit under the weather. Martin proved to be dependable, accommodating and passionate about his quality of work--all three being attributes that are becoming increasingly rare. The bottom line is that I would certainly call Martin again should the need arise, but in the meantime I will happily refer my friends and family to the BBQ Doctors. read more

BBQ was working fine, then it would not heat over 200 degrees. I described the problem, make and model. Martin was kind enough to email me back and gave me his phone number to call him in a Sunday (49er game day). He walked me through trouble shooting the BBQ and fixed the problem. Very generous and honest, rare these days!!! So I Venmo'd him!!! I would recommend him any day of the week!!! read more

Martin is absolutely fantastic. I called him and he started with a phone repair walkthrough of my Weber Genesis 4 that wasn't lighting. I had already tried watching YouTube videos to try fixes with no luck. Martin had me do a few tasks that were very straight forward and he helped me get my grill working again in 10 minutes. This phone consultation was very economical and got the repair done right away. If Martin offers you a phone repair opportunity, it is well worth a try before paying for a full on site repair call. With that said his on site rate is both fair and reasonable considering his ability to get the job done right the first time at a fair and honest price. read more

Martin is second to none. He was very prompt in his response when I first contacted The BBQ Doctors. Despite the current climate of COVID-19, Martin always made himself available for any questions I had. I had an issue with my Lynx Sedona where the burners would ignite but wouldn't stay on. I was able to light the grill manually, verified gas was coming through and cleaned the grates and burners as well. I was at a lost for what to do next. Martin kindly walked me through troubleshooting tips and some tricks of the trade. He recommended that I get a pipe cleaner and clean deep into the orifice of each of the burners. Low and behold, this fixed the problem! Martin was very patient, knowledgeable and sociable. To be honest, I was weary about contacting a company that was all business and more worried about charging a premium than satisfying their customer. Don't fret as you will have a peace of mind with Martin. Martin's top priority is to help fix any issue you are running into with your grill to make sure you're able to enjoy it. On top of that, it was amazing that he was able to do it over the phone without even seeing my grill in person. He genuinely cares about his customers. I am very grateful to have met Martin and he will be the first person I call for any grill issues I run into down the road. read more

My barbecue grill was not giving me a good blue flame. I found BBC Doctors on Yelp and seeing the great ratings- called Martin. He asked me describe the problem and send a video when the burners are on. He reviewed them and called me back with some recommendations for possible causes and solutions for cleaning. I am very handy and have the tools. Managed to fix it in 10 minutes. Thanks Martin for your support. read more

Prior to seeking out help for my year old grill that wouldn't ingite, I read a lot of reviews after determining I wouldn't be able to fix on my own and decided to give BBQ Doctors a try based on positive feedback. All the positive feedback is well deserved as Martin gave me a call back and walked me through what to look for in self diagnosis. While I didn't end up paying anything for his services I was impressed with his level of service and patience in the whole process of self discovery and along the way he provided me some additional tips. If I have any further problems I have no hesitation to reach out to him again for help! read more

Martin is great and one of the best in business . Love his ability to diagnose and prescribe with accuracy over the phone. Very experienced. read more

Martin was very generous with his time and advice on our barbecue situation. He patiently provided background and tips for the cleaning the whole barbecue , including the products to use and where they can be found. He provided advice on replacing burners ourselves. If we are unable to do it ourselves he can step in and fix the problems. We would recommend him. read more

Martin was Great! He was able to diagnose the issue in a few minutes and gave me options how to proceed with my BBQ. I was sure the unit was done but he was able to get me squared away. read more

I called the BBQ doctors and boy do they know their stuff. The technician helped me quickly triage possible issues and the approach to mitigate the issues as we had an event which could not await their full service. I highly recommend their expert services for both repair and rejuvenation. For trouble free grilling, call the Dr. read more

The BBQ Doctors - Lynx Sedona - Grill Services Near Me - Gilroy, California

Martin just spent 20 minutes of his time on the phone with me giving me troubleshooting tips on how to fix the gas flow issue on my BBQ and also explaining how to clean it and what products to use -- and he did this all free of charge! He even sent me pictures of the products to buy and asked me to follow up to let him know if it worked. My BBQ is a small patio unit and he said it probably wasn't worth much more than what it would cost to have him come out to clean/repair it. But he wanted to make sure he helped me nonetheless! Having worked in the swimming pool service business when I was in college where we repaired pool heaters, I could tell that Martin knew his stuff. Very knowledgeable, very friendly, customer-focused, quick replies -- cannot recommend him enough. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Martin. He was highly professional. It was a very tough job, a Twin Eagles pellet grill with a number of issues, but he did everything he needed to do to make sure the grill got fixed. There are not many authorized representatives for Twin Eagles, but Martin is one of them, and he has a strong working relationship with Twin Eagles that ultimately led to the grill being repaired. He even got Twin Eagles to provide the necessary parts for free. I would happily use him again, even if I had a different type of grill. I highly recommend him. read more

I have a 2007 Grand Turbo BBQ Grill with a separate side burner. The igniter stopped working recently. I called their NorCal dealer and they referred me to Martin. All I can say is Martin is AWESOME! He asked me some questions and gave me some advices to do some trial and error over the phone. He is very knowledgeable and patient. After these initial trials do not work, he dropped by after he finished one of his project in south bay. He quickly identified the problem, find a replacement part and fixed the issue. I saw some reviews mentioning he genuinely likes to help people out, and I can testify it is TRUE, and he is also funny. I highly recommend Martin if you have any services needed for your grill. read more

During CoViD-19 lockdown, Martin was kind enough to walk me through diagnosing the issue with my Weber gas grill over the phone, with me sending a couple of photos over SMS to show what I was looking at. He knew precisely what to look at, and what to test. His help allowed me to rule out a lot of possible issues, finally prompting me to replace a (second) propane tank, after having already trying two different replacements for a regulator/hose, which finally mitigated the gas leak that I'd been experiencing. Very friendly, high level of expertise -- I'd use The BBQ Doctors again. read more

I was referred to Marvin by the retailer who I bought my BBQ from about 15 years ago (Barbeques Galore). I have a Grand Turbo, which new sells for about $4,000. So when it died, I was hoping to salvage it. Three things about Marvin stand out: First, he is very knowledgeable - he knew my grill very well and I believe he'll be familiar with yours as well. Second, as others have stated, he was willing to do a *lot* of trial and error with me over the phone before I spent a dime. We spent about an hour the simple issues before we determined that I did in fact need a service call. He also did the same thing 3 months after he serviced my BBQ - I had another issue which thankfully was just a $20 regulator hose issue - once again, he answered the phone and he helped me diagnose is the issue at no charge - just a trip for me to Lowe's to get a new hose. Last, he was willing to drive about 60 miles to spend the day re-habbing my BBQ! I did pay extra for his travel time, but I think it's great that I didn't have to scramble to find someone who lived closer, only to find they wouldn't do a good job fixing it. We worked together - we had to take the entire BBQ apart to find the main issue (I had a gas leak in the main line). Then he basically restored the cast iron burners to new by drilling out the holes in each burner and he also restored the grates to near new as well. Highly recommended - Marvin is a very nice man with lots of experience fixing grills. read more

It has been a while since we last had any issues with our BBQ. Of course I immediately called Martin since he is an extremely knowledgeable BBQ wizard! In the past I have had terrible experiences with other bbq experts. But Martin has been able to fix every single problem someone else screwed up. Today, I called Martin because our grill was not lighting up. In a matter of minutes... Martin gave me a call and walked us how to fix the issue. This man is soooo honest! No cost and told us how to fix this on our own. I know very little people who can do this. Rather than coming in and stealing our money and claiming he repaired it. He immediately new what the problem was a solved it via a phone call in a matter of minutes. Martin- thank you very much for being so transparent with customers. We truly value this! We will remain loyal customers of yours! read more

Martin performed a restoration of my built in BBQ and the results were fantastic. Martin was prompt, professional and thorough in his communications. My BBQ that suffered from years of neglect now looks and runs like new. I would recommend the BBQ Doctors to anyone in need of a knowledgeable and trustworthy BBQ resource. read more

My BBQ looks fabulous and I am looking forward to using my BBQ. Martin is very knowledgeable and educated me on how to keep my grill clean and in good working order. He also gave me barbecue tips too. Martin and his associates were helpful, courteous, and thorough. I highly recommend BBQ Doctors. read more

Martin is amazing. I was referred to Martin from a competing BBQ company since they didn't have the availability to help me. The fact that another BBQ company referred him to me speaks volumes of the trust and respect that the industry has for him. He picked up my BBQ and took it to his place and did an amazing job. He kept me posted and sent me pictures. He takes the time to really understand what needs to be done to the BBQ and gives an honest bid. He kept me posted and brought the BBQ back to the house. He is good about responding to questions and returns his phone calls. read more

I learned about this company through Angie's list. I have an 8-year old Bull BBQ installed in an outdoor island. After about the first two or three years it hasn't been covered through the winter. Last year I noticed the BBQ wasn't working as it should so I jumped at the Angie's offer when i came. I am very happy with the work that Martin Gross did on my BBQ restoration. It wasn't cheap at $475, but certainly a lot cheaper than buying a new one. Martin cleaned it up (I hadn't done my annual cleaning yet) and reconditioned all the burners that had varying degrees of issues. It was returned nearly as good as new. Martin was great to work with and extremely prompt. One note of caution. There is another business out there that uses the same name. Make sure that you're working with Martin Gross cell phone (408) 396-1440 read more

Emailed Mark on a Sat. He emailed back Sun and he made time to come ot on Tue. I have a Bull 4 burner bbq. (2)burnes only burned on 1 side and the 3rd burner would not light-flames came out in front. I checked online for parts and figured it was going to cost me $150 parts +labor. Mark cleaned igniters and burners. Showed me how to clean next time. In 30 min Mark had unit running better than when new. He could have charged for new parts because i had no idea what was wrong. Mark is honest and hardworking. Would recommend and will use again. read more

Based on a listing in Craigslist, I called on 12/31/18 to see if they would travel to Novato from Morgan Hill Rather than charging me a ton of dough for just travel, he walked me through how to get my grill re-started and tips on how to clean and preserve it and btw, he never charged me a dime! Bottom line, USE these guys and not others with the same name! thank you! read more

The patient: A six burner Weber propane grill. The symptoms: Daily use 10 months out of the year with resulting build up and grime. The cure: The BBQ Doctors! NEVER AGAIN will I spend a weekend covered in black smutz. I am forevermore outsourcing this dreaded task to Mark. In a little over an hour my grill looks brand new and cooks brand new. A total recovery. Professional and reasonably priced to boot! read more

Called The BBQ Doctors' Martin to repair my Weber Genesis II LX and to his credit (and my surprise) he offered to walk me through a few things over the phone to try to get my grill to work. Unfortunately my grill required more attention so he made a house call. He provided an ETA and arrived on time as promised. He got my grill working and provided some good maintenance tips. In addition, he texted me some additional helpful info after he left. He did what he said he would and he delivered! read more

Wow! After some of my dealings with contractors, what a refreshing experience so far with the BBQ doctors. I received a call right back, they showed up on time and have promised to turn my 10 year old built in bbq into looking and working like new for less than 1/4 the cost of replacing. They had evaluated, provided a written estimate, picked up and scheduled a return before I even got a call back from another appliance repair company. More to come read more

I have an old built-in BBQ that had not been cleaned for a number of years. I thought I might just replace it because the valve didn't work so I thought it might be unsafe. Martin came out and looked the device over and told me that it was worth three or four grand and I would be crazy to toss it away. I didn't really believe him when he told me that he could fix it and make it new. He told me his work was guaranteed so I thought "how can I go wrong - I am going to toss it away anyway." I was wrong. I don't know how he did it, but my unit looks and works like new. He charged me $500 for the job which I thought was high at first, but now I think that it was great value for the money. He also gives you a bottle of commercial grade degreaser to keep the unit clean. Martin is a nice guy trying to build a reputation for quality service. I will be calling him next year to give the unit the once over. read more

Martin and team are GREAT! We bought a house with a 36' Lynx grill that seems to have been ignored for the last 5 years. The previous owners abused it badly. Martin is incredibly knowledgeable on these BBQs and was able to tell me the issue before even coming out (knowing there was a recall on an ignition system as well and how I could get the part for free saving $250.) It was a long saga as someone had previously clipped some wires on the grill too short (why? who knows.) Martin worked with Lynx to resolve this and did a full restoration on our BBQ and it's absolutely beautiful! Like new. In buying a new house it's so stressful working with so many different contractors and only about 5% of them actually doing a good job and not screwing things up - it was a breath of fresh air having Martin save the day on our BBQ! Highly recommend. read more

Martin did a comprehensive refurb of my Bull BBQ. I needed it urgently as I was having guests for Memorial day. He went the extra mile and returned the BBQ in perfect shape as promised. A quality job and very reasonable pricing. I have no hesitation in recommending Martin if you need any work on your BBQ. read more

This jerk wad charge my mom $600 to clean her gas barbecue. Way to take advantage of a senior citizen. What could you possibly have done to warrant that price? read more

Martin from The BBQ Doctors was the first service person that I found on Yelp so I called him and was I blown away of what happened next. He asked me if I was near the BBQ and then he took me through several steps to see what might be the problem. After following his guided tour of my BBQ, going over things that I would have never thought to look or try and then in the end it worked again! Who does this anymore to take the time to help a customer over the phone for service and fixed it without even coming over? Thank you Martin! Service with a smile. read more

I received an older bbq free. It all seemed to be in sold condition except it was missing the venturi (the pipes that connect the burner to the control knobs). Martin was willing to help me out. He took the time to look at the photos I sent him and directed me to the best websites to find parts. CLA grills was the ticket for me. While he did not perform any work on my bbq. I trust that he is knowledgeable and experienced. Thanks for the information Martin. read more
