My wife and I bought a boat on line from a private owner unaware of the nightmare that awaited. Thank God for Steve at new waves. Who is steve at new waves someone who is very professional, knowledgeable, understanding, and informative. Not only did he get us on the water he explained in detail everything that needed to be done and why and stayed in touch on the progress. He is a real down to earth person who cares. Before you try the rest start with the best and thats steve at new waves you wont regret it.
The owner was very helpful and very honest and I would recommend him to anyone that want to be treated fairly
Steve can get any motor cleaned up and running. Has worked on 3 boats for us and done a great job at a fair price. Highly recommend.
Steve Roberts is a boat guy you can rely on. He has decades of experience. Steve can both keep that old-school engine running, or when the time comes, rig up a new one with all the modern technology. I recently used Steve to re-power my old whaler with a new e-Tec, which of course involved a full re-rigging of steering, electrical, gauges, new dash, rub rail and other items. He was a great source of advice … someone I could trust to tell me “no you don’t need that” or “trust me, you’re going to want to do that”. If you want a super clean rig, from a guy you can trust to do it right and give you solid advice … go with Steve at New Waves.
Highly recommend this boat mechanic. Steve was very honest with us and got our boat running beautifully. Saved us a lot of money, too. We appreciate you!
I have used New Waves for many years on 3 different boats. Always trust them to do quality work, on time and very fair on cost. Id recommend Steves work to anyone...hell go that extra mile that you cant find much anymore.
What you want most from a mechanic is to be knowledgable, honest, and fairly priced. Steve is all of that and more. He basically rebuilt my boat and I could not have hoped for a better experience. He really knows what hes doing and is not going to overcharge you. This is where you should bring your boat if it needs work!
I have known Steve Roberts for over 20 years. I normally do the majority of my own repairs; but, when I get in a jam, Steve is the only person I would ever let work on my boat, motor, or trailer. His work is always top-notch and his prices are always extremely reasonable. I have recommended him to many of my friends and will continue to do so.
The ladder on my boat was installed by a previous owner. When it started pulling away from the hull I asked Steve what my options were. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. Needless to say he was able to fix my swim ladder at a very reasonable coat in a reasonable amount of time. Thank you!
Steve is an honest, prompt and responsive mechanic. Ive used him for service on my 30-year-old outboard for the last 3 years and he always gets it done right. Highly Recommended!!!
Great customer service, parts were delivered in a timely manner. Pricing was exceptional and they stand behind their product and were willing to give future advice about upcoming matinence to my boat.
Steve has a good knowledge of all engines and boats. I trust his repairs over anyone else I have ever dealt with and have been dealing with him for many years. Fair prices and does not price gouge for parts. Honest evaluation of problems and repair cost estimates. Also has extensive knowledge of all electronics for boats.Sometimes jobs become more than anticipated, buts thats life with boats!
Steve is great! We did an I/O motor swap from a 5.0 to 5.7 earlier this Spring with a few other repairs to my Steering and electrical systems. Best prices by far of any mechanic in Tampa. He is very patient and a pleasure to deal with. Steve is the kind of guy who will d a lot of courtesy stuff without charging you and also stands behind anything he does. Really good to military and is really close to MacDill.
Steve at New Waves has been incredibly helpful in getting my Boat back on the water. He is very Military friendly. I brought my boat to him back in Mid September 2018 and both he and I have worked on it for hours on end. He has often not charged me for labor and only charged me for parts at his wholesale cost. I can’t say this enough he is an encyclopedia of knowledge with boats he is a straight up guy that will not sugar coat anything that’s wrong with your boat. It is hard to find someone these days to trust when it comes to mechanical, paint and electrical. Steve is someone who you can trust to do top notch work and not rip you off! Thank you Steve for getting me back on the water!
Been coming to Steve for 20 years and four boats. Never had better service or quick response. Very knowledgeable and always has a answer for the problem. For all your boating needs come see Steve Steve. Happy boating.
I have been doing business with Steve for years.He has always been honest and more than fair price.I highly recommend new waves
Steve was great to work with. Work was done on time and for a very reasonable price. Would recommend to anyone needing a boat mechanic.
Steve got my boat running great. He the best boat repair person in south tampa I will be back!!!! Steve thanks again
Steve is a stand up guy! Has always treated me fair and has gone above and beyond several times for me. Ive even called him on a Sunday when my boat had an electrical issue while on the water and he was able to diagnose the problem over the phone and walk me through how to fix it so I could get my family and myself home safe.
New Waves is THE place to go fo all your boat and engine needs. Steve is experienced, honest, and fair ! I was introduced to Steve years ago by a friend. Now, he is the only one I let work on my Grady-White.
Very knowledgeable in the industry. Always there when you need Steve. Know him 8 years. Very reliable.
I have been taking my boats to Steve Roberts for over 20 years, 4 different boats all 4 had different engines he fixed all, no problems ever. He is extremely knowledgable and professional, I have referred many friends to him all are very satisfied, would never go anywhere where else
Been doing business with this company for many years. Has never done me wrong. Very reliable. Do not understand why anybody write a bad review
Great service. Pretty sure Steve can fix anything!
Fair price, honest work and always there in a pinch. New waves is an excellent choice for total boat maintenance.
Steve is the best boat mechanic around. Hes always done a great job and is extremely honest with his service.
Been doing business with Steve 20+ years.always honest and dependable .He does what needs to be done and not a bunch of extra add on’s.
Been dealing with Steve at New Waves for years. Hes always honest and fair. I wouldnt work with anybody else
Ive known Steve for 50 years Ive been taking my boat there for 30 every time I took it to him he fix the problem at a fair price I will keep bringing my boat there
Great work and the best prices! Steve has been in the industry a loooooong time and knows his stuff!!!
Steve is our go to guy for everything, have known him for a long time, he can fix any thing we bring to him.
New Waves Inc is my new home base for boat repair and services, my boat was in shambles and had gone to multiple shops that overcharged me and didnt actually get my boat to 100%. Steve took the time to not only fix everything that needed repair, he practically lost money by giving me the best price I have ever seen in the boat industry.
This is the 2nd time I have taken my boat there. Once for a fiberglass instalation and once for an engine problem another mechanic couldnt seem to fix. Both times they were very professional and fair on the price. I will be bringing my boat here from now on!.
Very dissatisfied. Will not go there again.
Great sevice
