My 1999 Ranger 692VS repeatedly left us stranded at Canyon Lake. It was almost impossible to start and when it did, it often stalled or went into “limp” mode. A Mercury dealer had it for two months in 2020 but their “Fix” failed leaving us bumping up on rocks on an island. I’d read reviews about Wayne and his Boat Shop being good at fixing older boats like mine. What could I lose? If he couldn’t fix it, I’d sell it. He had the boat for over a month and gave me periodic updates. He worked with Mercruiser technical teams in Wisconsin to no avail. But he persisted and eventually found the culprit, a failed magnetic pickup off the flywheel. We picked up the boat and took it to the lake. When we turned the key, it instantly started and purred like a kitten. Then, we opened her up and it jumped out of the hole and tore across the lake. It has never run this good. Kudos to Wayne for his persistence. I now have my boat back and am confident it will provide many happy years of memories.

Gary great mechanic ask for him for service. I recommend this boat shop highly affordable great customer service. Wayne Debbie thank you. Will be back.

Service was great! Really friendly and explained in detail what I needed to know about the motor I purchased.

Does great work! Gets boat in and out fast!

Great service and competitive pricing. They were the only shop in San Antonio that had the parts I needed in stock. Highly recommended!

Wayne was awesome. Called us on the 4th of July and said our boat was ready. Crazy he only had it 2 days. We called our kids and they brought friends and weve been at Canyon Lake tubing and sight seeing for 5 hours! Its running great! Thanks Wayne, we had No idea we could have it back so soon to enjoy the holiday. Thank you!

Called on Tuesday early morning . Was told cost of winterization was $99. Informed them of my receipt from previous owner showing they inspected and worked on motor trim . They advised me winterization was $90 and they would look at trim again as it was going up slow . Tuesday 4 pm had not heard anything so I called . Was told winterization was almost complete and they would be in touch . Wednesday came and went and no communication . Thursday 2 pm I call again amd the owner tells me they spoke with me about replacing my trim motor . I inform him no one has called me in 2 days . He gets upset amd becomes argumentative. I tell him look I’m just trying to find out status of my boat and why no one has communicated with me . He tells me to come for my boat and pay for the winterization. I arrive and once again he begins to argue . I tell him I simply asked about my property and why no one communicated with me . He writes my invoice and charges me more than quoted winterization price, charges me for an inspection and when he is pulling my boat out with a tractor, it detached from his hitch and rolls . He proceeds to re attach and pulls it to parking lot and leaves it without a word amd goes back to his yard . Will never ever recommend or do business with a business who has no respect for customers time, property and lies .my boat was detailed before I dropped it off and has mud all over it now from their shoes .

Wayne is great to work with. Ordered and installed new electronics, trolling motor and performed regular maintenance at a reasonable cost AND ahead of schedule. Will continue using The Boat Shop in the future.

Great place. Very informative! Took my 02 Salty Merc 150 in for a water pump and lower oil change. Found out my lower motor mounts were shredded. Price for parts labor and turnaround was highly impressive! They also have fiberglass and upholstery services available! My NEW goto for all boat needs!

Wayne is great to speak to and very knowledge. I like that hes honest enough to say I dont know what that could be but Ill look into whats going on... Im only rating 4 vs 5 stars because Ive got my boat in for the 2nd time for the same issue. Im hoping it gets fixed this time around for good and that Im not charged unnecessarily which, doesnt seem to be the way that this business operates to begin with.

Great value, service this past spring. ...other dealers wanted me to leave boat for two weeks, only took two day

Knew exactly what we needed, and it is on order. Superb customer service.

Sorry for the last review, you are not overpriced, I dont know why Google put this one as overpriced, its the one on the south side of San Antonio that is overpriced, stupid phone and internet, I looked at your website and Google thought that I was at your business, I apologise about that review

A really nice honest service. Not over priced.

Let me start by saying this. I do not write reviews ever, but this is an exception. I have been building a boat for the past 3 years. And last part came down to the motor which was a 1970 Mercury 650. Most boat shops wont touch motors this old. Im no mechanic but I got the thing running after hours and hours of work, but it was running a bit rough. I took it in to the boat shop and the gentleman there went out of his way and made this motor go from a angry tiger growling at its cage master to a nice purr. The work here is great and I highly recommend it. The price is even better, I was expecting the pay over 300 bucks I came down to 75 with military discount. IF I ever have a boat motor issue I will definitely take it back here.- Lehman

This shop fixed my issue and was very informative. Wayne kept me up to date on what was going on. The turn around was less than a week. I left a very happy customer. My boat runs great now. Thanks Wayne, youre the man. If any of you out there has boating issues, I would highly recommend this shop.

I had to wait two long weeks to get my boat serviced, they are busy. Seemed like forever, but some things are worth the wait. I had a starter bolt break off in the engine and I was not going to tackle it since the engine had to be removed. Boat was ready in about a week and the cost was in right in line. I could have easily been overcharged more but felt it was a fair price. I could have taken my boat somewhere else but I trust this boat shop. Wayne and his guys do great work. Time for the water one more time before spring.

Purchased a used boat from a family friend that had been kept in a garage for a few years. I know nothing about boats. Looked around SA for a shop to take a look and get the boat up and going. Brought the boat in around the end of January. Gentleman that helped me seemed like a good guy. He said they looked it over and found that it was running great. Just recommended a few small things. Left with a bill of around $350. Was very happy.Got the boat out on the lake a few weeks later. Backed it down the ramp and tried to start it up. Battery completely dead. Luckily was able to get a jump.Attempted to drive the boat and it died multiple times.Brought it to another shop- multiple issues needing to get repaired.I am out $400.I would not advise this shop at this time.

These guys are a pleasure to deal with! Fixed my motor quickly and competently. Very friendly and helpful group, and the work was done at a fair price. I really appreciate you guys (and gals)!

Wayne is very knowledgeable and did a great job on my boat repair needs. Turn around time was also amazing!

This is a square shop. My little motor went in for tune up and carb rebuild. It ran well for a little while then was cutting out. I remembered Wayne said to bring it back if I had any problem. I took it back and Wayne took some time and pains to figure out the issue. He found it fixed the issue and did not charge although he could have. He called after hours to let me know it was ready. Great job!Mike

I have taken my boat to them numerous times, generally for problems of my own making as I am new to boating. They are friendly and honest and have done great work. I trust them and will continue to take my boat there for any repair/maintenance needs.

My husband and I took our boat their twice with all times the same problem engine not getting enough gas and then dying. The first time mechanic said he rebuilt the carburetor. We went back on the lake same problem took it back and this time the mechanic said it was bad gas and that he flushed it all out. When we took it to the lake again same problem. This time we took it to a different mechanic who was referred to by a friend. This mechanic informed us that the carburetor was never rebuilt. Basically stole our money and time that could have gone to so many other things for our family. So disappointed and disgusted.Dan and Rose Rodriguez

Awsome dpwne to earth and helpfull will be returning for more parts and possibly services in the near future

Very honest boat repair shop that I highly recommend. Took my scooter for steering problem and owner was easily able to identify problem was a bracket was installed upside down. He even explained how to fix it on my own, but I had him fix it for me. Boat was returned in a couple of days and the steering is absolutely working perfect. Cant ask for better service that that. Will be bringing boat to this shop in the future for sure. Thanks for getting my scooter back in the water!!!

I thought it was going to be an actual boat dealer. Obviously the place was basically a junk yard! It wasnt labeled correctly on Google maps but it was a nice place to pick through parts. The only reason I didnt give it five stars is because it was mislabeled.

Down-to-earth service with no extreme BS. This shop will not try to upsell you to pad their bottom line. Highly recommended and I shall return.

EXCEPT for the hassle of trying to log into The Boat Shop website JUST to say thanks,I’d give this enterprise a SIX STAR rating —plus a “TRIPLE-F BADGE OF HONOR with OAK LEAF CLUSTER” for:Fast Service,Fair Pricing,FriendlinessGood folks to trust with repairs to your boat or the machine that powers it!-Bob Parvin

The lady at the front desk is very friendly and the gentleman who runs the shop is not only knowledgeable but friendly as well. I will never gonto another shop again unless they recommend it

Great first experience with the Boat Shot. One week turnaround, unbelievable!Wayne called with assessment and estimate on repairs. You should always choose new parts, not worth it to try used parts.Fished this morning, engine started on first try. Excellent power, smooth idle; then engine died out. But, my bad; I did not snap in fuel line all the way. No problem after my error.

Its been a few years since Ive been here but I can say that they did an awesome job diagnosing and fixing my carb problems. I would not hesitate to bring it in again. Very fast and honest.

I spoke to Wayne about an important maintenance issue on my 15 year old Mercury outboard and he knew exactly what I was talking about, gave me some background info, suggested some solutions, and was willing to call around town to secure a used part to meet my needs. Its a great experience to get service like this. Thanks

Very knowledgeable and experienced people you can trust.

The owner, Wayne, was very helpful and courteous. He knows his boats and motors. Just tell him your needs and I can assure you he will help you.

Go meet Wayne, this dude knows his stuff and his son is right there with him and say hello to Debbie, shes a breath of fresh air and shell never lead you wrong with a smile on her face and a shop that can Accommodate anyones needs with Friendly South Texas Service

Amazing. Friendly. Very knowledgeable

Have had them service, winterize, and do fiberglass work, have never had a bad experience. Way better priced and don’t try to upsell you

Best shop in Texas!!

They did a good job at a reasonable price. Ill be back.

They are a great family oriented business very helpful to the questions ask of them.and knowledgeable to the craft of boating

Great people to deal with

Nice. Did the job

Quick turn around and good work. Its hard to find someone i trust to work on my stuff. I know where ill take my boat next time it needs work

The staff is very nice and knowledgeable. Highly recommend this shop for repairs. 👍

Wayne and everyone else I have spoke with have been patient and very respectful. Prices are very fair. Thanks and will get back on how the repairs came back getting motor rebuilt and a few other loose ends.

Great and honest place to get your boat done right

Great find for us. Good pricing and great service. But very busy, that must mean something, eh

Very knowledgeable and professional

Freindly customer service as always.

Drove in from Laredo Tx a month ago. The owner Wayne was really really honest, patient and friendly. Had a tuff time fixing my boat with laredo mechanics . Wayne and his crew made it possible in less than 3 days. They fix my boat problem when I didnt had no hope in laredo Tx. Highly, highly recommend to anyone that has boat issues. Thanks a lot to the boat shop employees and thanks a lot to Wayne, the owner. Yall were spectacular.. great customer service as well...

Can not believe the level of service I got from this small shop located in San Antonio I was sceptical at first but they spoke like they knew what they were talking about so I trusted them and they didnt let me down its hard to find hard working honest mechanic out there more or less a boat mechanic I can tell you now if your reading this you have found the place your looking for Wayne helped me out like I was a friend rather then a customer getting me a part I needed ordered on a Thursday the 2nd they closed early on Friday the 3rd before the 4th of July and Wayne prolonged his fishing trip and stayed a few extra hours waiting for ups to deliver my part so I could have my boat for 4th of July all I can say is wow yall are amazing I will go no where else when it comes to my boat!!!! Owner of Premier Cuts Lawn Care LLC Nicholas Hemler

Honest and grouchy just like a boat shop should be!

Great service reasonably priced

Satisfactory work outta this outfit always

Wow called this place because I had some questions, they were loud, rude and not friendly at all! I could hear a guy yelling at the secretary to hang up the phone, get rid of them, I need the phone. The next thing I knew the call had ended. Ill be taking my business elsewhere.

Wayne will take care of you!

Debby and Wayne will go out of their way to help you.

Good and reliable work and parts
