What Our Clients Say
REVIEWs
I called Dave yesterday to schedule a appointment for some repairs and not knowing he was closed and Dave still answered the phone. Even though he was busy and backed up with work, I was blown away with the help he gave me. Dave talked with me for about 15 minutes helping me troubleshoot the problem that I have. This guy really knew what he was talking about. What blew me away even more was Dave told me to call him anytime if I had anymore questions. I will be going to Dave for all my boating needs and repairs for now on.
Jason B.
Dave has been servicing my boat and jet ski now for the past 3 years. He also services many of neighbors boats and jet skis here in Scotch Hall Preserve on the Albemarle Sound. He’s busy so best to get on his schedule early and on a continuous basis. Very knowledgeable, dependable and honest. Would highly recommend Dave.
