What is a mobile boat repair service and how does it work?

We come to your boat at its slip, dock or storage yard and diagnose and repair it there. Labor is $150 an hour, plus parts and a one-way trip fee by distance, from $30 in San Pedro to $110 in Newport Beach, and you get a written estimate before any work. It can save you a haul-out or a tow.

What types of repairs can be done on-site?

Most electrical, mechanical, cooling, fuel, steering, and routine engine services can be completed on-site. This includes troubleshooting, part replacement, inspections, and preventive maintenance.

Do mobile repairs cost more than shop repairs?

A mobile visit adds a one-way trip fee by distance, from $30 in San Pedro to $110 in Newport Beach; work at our San Pedro shop has no trip fee. Labor is $150 an hour either way. A mobile visit can still cost less overall when it saves a haul-out or a tow, and your written estimate shows labor, parts and the trip fee before any work.

Can you help with an urgent repair at the slip?

We are a scheduled service, not a towing service. Call us at (213) 693-0224: we fit urgent repairs in as soon as we can, Monday to Saturday, 8 AM to 6 PM. If the boat is taking on water or anyone is in danger, call the Coast Guard on VHF channel 16 or 911 first.

Do you service boats while they are in the water?

Yes. Many repairs and inspections are done with the boat in its slip, including engine diagnostics, battery service, steering and electrical troubleshooting. Work below the waterline, such as sterndrive, bellows or through-hull jobs, is done with the boat out of the water.

Is mobile boat repair available for regular maintenance?

Yes. Oil changes, seasonal maintenance, battery replacement, fluid checks and inspections can all be done at your slip, on your engine maker's schedule. Our boat care plans add scheduled checkups at the boat, and members pay no trip fee on any visit.

What are the benefits of choosing a mobile boat repair service?

You do not have to move the boat: we diagnose and repair it at its slip, dock or storage yard. That can save a haul-out, a tow and the time they take, and you get a written estimate before any work starts.

About this service

Mobile Boat Repair in Los Angeles and Orange County

A mobile boat mechanic saves you the trip to a yard. We come to your slip, dock or storage yard from Marina del Rey to Newport Beach and repair the boat where it is kept. If a job needs our San Pedro shop, we agree that with you before any work starts.

What the work covers

Many repairs can be traced and finished at the dock:

Engines: outboards, sterndrives and inboards that will not start, run rough or overheat, with the details on our boat engine repair page.
Electrical: batteries, charging, wiring, switches, pumps and lights.
Fuel and cooling: fuel lines and filters, water pumps and impellers.
Hull: gelcoat chips and cosmetic cracks above the waterline; structural damage goes to a boatyard.
Routine service: oil, filters and seasonal checks on your engine maker's schedule.

Some work needs more room or equipment than a slip allows. For that, we can quote dock-to-shop boat transport to our San Pedro shop as part of our local service. Other dockside jobs are on the mobile boat service page, and the full range of repairs is under boat repair.

When a mobile visit makes sense

The boat will not start and you would rather not tow it
The battery keeps going flat between trips
The boat is in a storage yard and you have no way to tow it
A bilge pump, light or gauge has stopped working
Routine service is due and the boat is already in its slip

What to have ready

Tell us the boat's make, length and engine type, the marina name with the dock and slip number, and what the problem is and when it started. Make sure we can get to the boat, and let us know if the slip has shore power.
