Called regarding service on my outboard motor, was told they be here next day at 9:00AM . Got a call at 9:00AM notifying me that they are a little late but on there way. I expect people to be on time but I also know some times things happen. But I really appreciate Bill calling me even though it was only a~15 Min. delay. The service was excellent, the price was very reasonable. I would rate them not 5 but 6 Stars
Mike has serviced 3 different boats for us over several years. He is always on time and does excellent work.
Sold me faulty parts saying we’re good, lied directly to my face and did it under the table for cheap for no paper trail. Wouldn’t return calls after parts were found to be bad. Was supposed to save a fishing trip ended up stealing money. Wouldn’t trust these guys.
I went down to this shop to schedule some repairs, The owner Mike told me how to troubleshoot some issues myself before spending a ton of money. Mike was more interested in helping me than making money himself, with his guidance I was able to fix the motor on my own. This says a lot about a person and how they run a business.
I delivered my boat on the day Mike scheduled. It then sat for two weeks in Do Alls boatyard and no-one worked on it. I called 5-6 times to get an update and all calls went to voice mail and my messages were never returned. I had to drive to the shop if I wanted any information about the boat. Finally, out of desperation, I went the shop and told Mike I had to take the boat back - I could not leave it there indefinitely. Mike held the boat hostage for $300 before he would put it back in the water. Beware, Mike can be verbally abusive and belligerent in the afternoon - I suspect he enjoys a liquid lunch. Do All Dockside is NOT a professional marine service facility. I consider myself lucky to get out of there and only be cheated out of $300. I suspect it could have been much worse had I left my boat there longer.
Had a major issue on the water that stranded us 2 hours before storm was rolling in. Got in touch with Mike and he was able to diagnose the issue and talk me through a work around to get us running again. Keep in mind was a Sunday afternoon. Was able to get my family back to the dock just before storm came in. Mike was a God send and certainly our hero.
I spent over $6000 repairing my inboard/outboard with this shop. They don’t back up their work, I got the boat back and since I had issue after issue, and it all seems to be related to the way they put everything back in, even thought they refuse to acknowledge any fault. They have terrible attitudes and customer service and I would never use them again. There are plenty of other honest boat mechanics in the area, stay away from using this shop, you will not have a good experience and possibly still have a boat that doesn’t work properly.
Update one year later... Anyone who goes to a marine service business expecting immediate service, in the high season of a huge population increase, with marine services behind schedule with everyone... will be disappointed. As I stated before, you can trust Mike, and he tells the truth. Unfortunately there are those who just cant handle the truth. Get belligerent, lose respect?... dont expect to receive it.Take your business to Do All, because Mike, Keith, Adam and Daniel, know what theyre doing. We had major problem with an inboard/outboard boat we had just purchased, and Do All fixed it, along with other things which were bad, but could not be seen.To make a long story short, you can TRUST Mike and Chris to tell you the truth, and fix whatever is wrong fairly and quickly. Do All is where we will take our boat for maintenance, and any other problems we may have. Undoubtedly, they can Fix All as well. If we could give them more stars we would.
Great place for boat repairs!!
Great service in very timely manner. Pricing was very reasonable.
Prices are too high. The men that work here have sorry attitudes. They think theyre the only mechanics on Earth. Internal watch them jerry-rig a motor. I would rather sell my boat motor in the trash then let them work on it go buy new dont let them touch it warning dont let them touch it. Again that boys have such an attitude all you want to do is reach out and touch someone. Find a number another Marina shop. Go down the street from them on your left hand side is a better Marine shop better prices better workers better man and woman and a lot more platter check them out
Moved new to area and made the mistake to visit these two individuals. Horrible experience. Dishonest do not deal with these two dishonest individuals. I took them my outboard for a vsc tank repair. They rung me up 1300 to repair vsc tank. Which all you can do is clean it and replace high pressure fuel pump. They wanted to go into my other outboard to do same and I did not allow them. The other outboard ran like a dream They said if I did not do the other vsc tank it would blow my power head. I refused because the motor ran great. Three weeks later my motors are kept trimmed up and I noticed drips of oil on my outboard brackets before I went out . Hose was pulled torn. Thinking it was run off and residue i did not think nothing of it and pull the cowling. I ran boat and when I got on plane it seized the power head like they said it would. . It blew a hole the size of a pitching wedge. I brought the boat to my ft lauderdale honest mechanic of 12 years and the oil line to the vst tank was pulled torn. Tie strap still on a great hose yanked torn causing no oil to go to vst tank. Since a did not let them fix other outboard my oil line was yanked. I have pictures. I have lived in this great country for 30 years and have never seen anything like this in my life. Do not use these two guys.
Had a motor issue while on vacation and called Do All Dockside for some help. Very friendly staff, they took my boat in, diagnosed the issue and had it up and running the next day. Thanks for such quick service.
Family owned and operated. Honest, knowledgeable, great to work with.
Sorry to have to Disagree with you. I have been using Do All Dockside for quite a few years and have nothing but good things to say about them. Good Pricing, reasonable hourly rates, and excellent customer service. I am sorry, if you nit pick everyone, you will find something that is or can be diappointing and frustrating. If you can do a better Job you should have done it yourself :)
They did a good job at rebuilding our engine/transom, but completely botched a hose fitting on the live well pump which nearly sank the boat. They never addressed this issue, nor even show up to look at as they said they were going to.Communication is poor, especially when it comes to pricing/labor costs. Id recommend you write in a limit amount on the work order, or you could have sticker shock when the final bill comes. Also, personally check everything before leaving their shop! Spit and glue is a poor substitute for the right hardware, especially below the waterline. They should have known better. Will most likely use someone else next time.
Couldn’t be happier Father and son Mike and Chris repowered my 1989 Stratos replaced old sterling cables with hydraulics painted the bottom replaced old hoses and fittings even got them to repair my trailer Motor runs great by the why I’m from Michigan it’s great to find someone you can trust down here
Ive always had a good experience dealing with Mike and Chris! Great Mechanics, great communication, trustworthy company!
Great customer service
These guys are the best at what they do. You cant beat the knowledge level of the techs and they always stand behind their work.
