Dear Allmarine,



Thank you for the great work, honesty and open communication. Its been a pleasure working with you. I've used many other different shops in the past but none gave me the transparency and consistantly high quality of work that I got from Allmarine. When I moved to the city and needed to get my boat fixed, repaired, and sold asap these guys really stepped up to the plate as a truly full service shop. Not only did they get my boat running like new for half the price I was being quoted from other shops, but they took care of transport as well without nailing me with sudden hidden fees or taking advantage of my crunch for time. Frank is really a standup guy and gave me estimates in advance for all the work performed and actually kept costs well within what he told me he would. He takes pride in both the quality of his work and his honesty (the guy saved all the parts he told me were bad without me asking just so that I could see that he wasn't making stuff up).



When it came time to sell, Allmarine also was a huge asset to the process. They were able to connect me with qualified buyers and give them confidence in the high quality of the boat and the work they had performed. Again, they all took care of litterally every element of the sale including very reasonable storage and transport to the buyer which saved me subtantial time and money without the headaches. I never had to hound them with constant calls to see what was going on because they answer the phone or call you back right away - a very refreshing change from the usual level of "service" that I've gotten at other shops. It is rare that you find someone that you can really trust when you're in a tough spot, but with Allmarine I can confidently say you can't go wrong. I'm happy to serve as a reference for anyone considering Allmarine in the future.



Sincerely,



Michael Carini

Allmarine can actually be trusted. I had them do a pre purchase inspection for me they found problems but assured me that if i was to buy the boat Allmarine would get them fixed and warrantied and they did. I am please with there ma and pa sort of service the daily calls with updates and progress and they just dont go and replace things unless they ask you 1st. I like there persistance and dedication to me in getting the work done. Last but not least you get what you pay for with thease guys they trully offer alot for the prices, so if you got a boat that needs repairs i trurly recomend Allmarine they dont nickle and dime you they just tell you striaght out what its gonna cost , at some things they are pricey but like i said you get what you pay for and warranty is very important i like that .

I was out looking for a good used boat around the fall of 2008 and not knowing much about boats i was wondering if there was someone that could help me, i looked threw craigslist and YP.com punched in boat mechanic and found an add for Allmarine, and i was reading threw the add i noticed they performed what they call pre purchase boat inspections boy was i happy. They worked around my schedual and the buyers to get me an appointment. On the day i was to go look at the boat Allmarine met me at the location of the used boat i was to buy, boy o boy was i glad i called them for a $180 they checked the electrical, the engine, the outdrive, compression and a bunch of other stuff i cant even explain but they found out that the buyer was fibbing that the engine was rebuilt, just looking at the engine alone and by the compression test , Allmarine determined from the psi the 4 cylinder engine was to low to be rebuilt and that in fact it was very much used, he also noticed metal shavings in the engine oil, besides that he also found that the transome was soft and that it was dangerous cause the back of the boat could fall apart, well it was all worth the $180 i spent, i even would of paid more if needed to find that out, not only did Allmarine save me the asking price of $5,000 but also the expenses of close to $8,000 it would of cost to rebuild the engine, and replace the whole back of the boat (fiberglass work is very very expensive) the boat and trailer was not even worth that money , Allmarine also might of saved my life from not buying that boat had i did and put it in the water and used the boat the transome would of cracked under the force of the engine the boat would of sank in seconds. The sad part was this was a well known marina selling the boat and there excuse was they where selling it for the owner and had no idea of the damages. I called Allmarine several times afterwards to inspect 5 other boats till I finally found one worth buying and i only trust Allmarine to winterize, summerize and maintain and tow the boat for me, Thanks to Allmarine i own a 1995 i/o bowrider that has served me well for 3 seasons although Allmarine found problems with the boat i liked it enough to get the seller to bring the price down and Allmarine repaired the boat for me before putting it in the water, it needed to have the carburator rebuilt and new risers and exaust manifolds along with a thermostat all together an expesive fix but the boat to me was well worth spending some $$ on. IT RUNS FANTASTIC THANKS ALLMARINE i tell everyone i know with a boat or who is thinking of buying a boat that you guys are out there to help.

I was just getting ready to take my 24 foot FOUR WINNS with a 5.7 OMC out with the family for a day cruise when i noticed my engine was hard to start and when i got it running it would stay on for seconds only and shut down. I went to the office at my marina and not only could there mechanic not figure out what was wrong they wanted to charge me to pull the boat out of the water and tell me they wont get to it for atleast 2 weeks cause they were so busy putting boats in the water for the season, i felt completly stranded and frustrated that im paying them for dockage and now more money to pull the boat out of water and labor to find the problem. Luckily another boater at that same marina noticed me yelling at the marina boss and said that i should call a mobile mechanic i didnt know such existed i told him, he gave me a number to Allmarine Mobile Boat Mechanic & Towing and said they are pretty good, so i called, this guy Frank answered i explained to him what was going on he said that he was on a job and he would squeeze me in, well he showed up about an hour and a half later explained the labor rate of $100 per hour wich was about $60 cheaper per hour then the marina and he came to me i said ok do what you got to, within 45 minutes he noticed water on one of my spark plugs and that some water was dripping from the spark plug whole he immediatly said this boat has to come out of the water cause i got a hydrolock and that water was getting into the engine from the exaust most likly a bad riser or exause manifold, and that if not repaired asap my engine would lock up from eventual rust. Unfortunetly he did not have a trailer with him due to the short notice call, i did have a trailer i was able to borrow from a friend that was only a few minutes away, so i hopped in his truck and we went and got the trailer he pulled the boat out of the water and asked if i wanted the boat back at my place or to bring it to his driveway , i said i got no space this is why my boat is at a marina so he wrote me out a invoice i paid him for the time he was with me and he took it back to his place, very huge convenience he took care of everything ,he replaced both risers and exaust manifolds saying that you just dont replace one side you do them both to prevent this again in the near future he was honest and fixed my boat the very next day because fortunetly the parts were in stock and took the boat back and dropped it in the water and we tested it it ran fantastic and the temperture gage was reading a lower temp then before this problem happend aparently a sign that i ignored not knowing any better. i will say the job was not a cheap one with labor parts and hauling but over all he got it done way before the weekend ended and my family and i still got to enjoy the boat. in the end after the math was done i actually found out i saved about a little over $400 the whole job cost me $1,500 and it was done fast and right . They now are my only preffered marine servicer. Thank you Allmarine!
