I asked around on a guy to do a yanmar survey on a boat I was purchasing , a 40 mainship . Over and over again the same name came up superior , was told if your selling a boat with diesels you don’t want to see this guy show up ..I tired calling him and tracking him down online to fine some of his old numbers don’t work ..I finally emailed him after taking to one of of his old customers He called me in 15 minutes , I talked to him set up a date , and he came to do the survey as planned I did not purchase this boat , because of his findings ..I later purchased another one with Cummins As he gave that boat a clean survey . He’s not a guy that likes to talk , but He knows diesel boats well I would recommend him ..if you can get him it’s worth it ..what I understand there only a hand full of guys that have been around for years , Superior , wesco , Steve’s marine . Now I store my boat at his marina for the winter .Rob has been doing this all of his life , I trust him .

At that time I was interested in replacing my gas engines with brand new. After speaking with Rob for around an hour, I decided to convert to Yanmar diesels. I then met with Rob at my marina for a full inspection of my boat and a detailed report of all work needed. it was also decided to replace the gas genset with a new diesel as well.The estimate I received,was not only fair, but included lots of extras for the same price. Along the way, Rob even sold both my engines and genset and made allowances for them. Once the work was completed, I could not have been happier with both the service and work performed. The engines ran perfect upon the first turn of the key and have done so for 3 years now. Rob is not easy to contact by phone, but send a text or e-mail, and he will respond usually within and hour or so. I would not hesitate for a minute, recommending Rob to a friend or anyone else who asks! As to the previous post with regard to losing his deposit. Rob did not ask for a single dollar until the engines were purchased. I then confirmed the purchase with Mack Boring, went to my boat to actually see them in place. I then paid for the engines, and labor was not requested until full completion of the job.

We took it to a couple of local places but they told us that a dealer would be best because they had equipment to diagnose later model cars that were only available to dealers. I was really hesitant. We were new to the area and always stayed away from dealers because they usually charge more. We looked on line and found a local dealer, Baron Nissan, that had good reviews. None of those reviews were for service but what we could find said really good things about their sales department so we had the car towed there and crossed our fingers. We met Frank the service manager who was very nice. He asked what the car was doing and we told him/. We left it there overnight and he said he would call us the next day. He called about 11am on Friday and said the car was done. A little surpised that it was done so quickly I asked if they had found the problem. He said it was just a control module that had to be reset, no big deal. The way the other mechanics had made it sound we were braced for a huge repair bill. When we went to pick it up they told us that they had checked and our car was still under the Nissan powertrain warranty ( which we had no idea about) and the bill was nothing, no money at all. They told us they checked the car and we needed front brakes and an oil change ( which I knew). They gave me a fair price and we had them do the work. Frank didnt try to sell me anything I didnt need or want and they did the brakes and oil change while we waited. Has a chance to talk to Frank while we waited, he was just a nice guy who welcomed us to the neighborhood. We have bought a lot of cars in our life, definately not my first rodeo and I never,ever went back to a dealer for service as a rule they are too busy, pushy and over priced. I gotta say Frank at Baron Nissan is the exception. We are so glad we found them
