What locals say

Real reviews from customers across Geelong and Western Melbourne.

“Saved our holiday trip! After being stuffed around by other mobile mechanics, we had the job done within a day of asking. Same day/next day service, friendly, and super knowledgeable. Thank you so much!”
— Ali
“Excellent service. Friendly and professional with exceptional communication. Comforting assistance when my son had broken down. Thank you.”

“Excellent service. I was quoted $6k plus for a transmission replacement by 3 different places. Norm replaced and reprogrammed the valve body and it's done the trick. This guy knows what he does and he knows it well.”

Common questions

Can you service my boat at the marina or on the trailer?

Usually yes. Most outboard and stern drive servicing can be done with the boat on the trailer, in a pen or on a hard stand. Tell us where it lives when you call and we'll confirm what we can do on-site.

Do you work on both two-stroke and four-stroke outboards?

Yes, standard servicing and repairs for both, including impellers, gear oil, filters and lower unit work.

My boat won't start at the ramp. Can you help?

Call us straight away and tell us where you are. If we can get to you, we will; if not, we can help you work out what's wrong and plan the next step.

Should I get a pre-purchase check before buying a boat?

Definitely, especially on a used outboard or stern drive. A compression test and a proper look at the engine can save you thousands, and we can support you on a sea trial where possible.

Boat due for a service?

Tell us a little about the job and the suburb you're in, and we'll come back with a price and a time that works. Most jobs are booked for the same day or the next day.
