Dockside Marine Repair

These guys are the only ones that will come to you. They do excellent work and explain all the work that they do. Their labor rate and travel fees are comparable to labor rates of boat shops that won’t come to you. If you can get on these guys schedule, they will take care of your boat properly.

Graham has been a great help for my first boat. I didn’t know much about boats when he serviced it, and did not know much of the service history. I showed him my work orders form other places and he showed me specifically what was done on the engine. I had him look over the engine, and address any issues that came up. Not only did he do this. he took the time to show me the issues, and genuinely wanted me to understand why/​how that happened.
I too, felt that Graham took great care of my boat. It was raining the day they worked on it and made sure to not only cover the boat, put a tent over the part they were working on, and put the removed pieces (engine covers) under covers so that nothing got too wet.
Graham was extremely honest and had the boat running in no time.
Will definitely use him for more Boat services. You cannot beat the fact that they come to you.

I’ve used Graham and Dockside Marine Repair twice now. The first was to install downriggers on the stern and he was reliable, prompt, and they worked great. The second was a couple weeks ago to winterize my 2 motors, a Yamaha 250 hp 4-​stroke and an 8 hp kicker. Again, on time and reasonable. I’ll re-​post in the spring if they don’t work but I’m betting they’ll be fine.
Graham uses high quality materials, takes care of his tools and truck, and treats my boat the same way. His hourly price for 2 guys doesn’t include travel to and from and it’s very convenient, so I highly recommend him.

We had Graham come and take a look at our motor last fall. He got it running, but there was a surge problem. We called him this year, he came out and changed the prop while we were gone. Took the old prop with him and was gone before we got home. Left the bill, which was promptly paid. Called again to tell him that we were still having a surge problem. We set up another appointment for June 19^th and have been waiting ever since. Despite many calls, he has never returned our call. We finally took our boat to Northshore Marine… they investigated the surge problem and found that Graham had installed the floats on all 3 carburator upside down. No surge problem now after another hefty bill. I don’t recommend this business to anyone.

I happened to find Graham and wow am I lucky! They come on-​site and do all repairs and maintenance for your boat, jetski etc… I would not use anyone else. He is so trustworthy that I am not even home when he does the maintenance. Can’t ask for more.
