BT Marine Mechanical & Detail

Great communication,service, turn around time ,and price. Brian had my boat in and out in 3 weeks with a new engine. I would recommend this shop to anyone in need of honest boat repair.

Honest & genuine! I was referred to BT Marine 3 years ago when I bought my first boat. And thank goodness, because ship happens. lol. Best boat referral ever. I highly recommend anyone looking for great boat repair and or services! (:

If I could give these guys zero stars I would. Story line.... when I dropped my boat off to these guys last year, my boat was working. I just asked them to fix an exhaust leak and check the boat to make sure everything was ok. They informed me that I had some bad pistons and I should have them replaced. I agreed to the work, and my boat was out of commission for about 2-3 months waiting on them to finish. 1,500 bucks later, they call me and tell me the boat is ready. Yeah! I pick my boat up and take it to the water the following day. Get on the water and the boat runs way worse than it did before I took it to them. The boat had zero power and I couldn't use it. I take it back to these guys. They kept my boat for several months and give it back to me. They "fixed" the boat at no cost to me and said they did a water test and the boat was fine. Great! I take it out on the water first time after I get it back from these guys and the damn thing dies in the middle of the Sac River! I'm stuck out here for two hours with not a pot to piss in. I call BT Marine and leave a message; of course they didn't call me back. If not for a Good Samaritan, I would've had no choice but to abandon the damn thing in the river. Are these guys terrible? I don't know probably. Is it just bad luck on my part? Probably not. If you take your boat to a "professional" and they say your boat is good to go, then your going to believe them. With that said, I can only believe that theses guys didn't give me the same level of service as they did their other happy customers on here. Why that's the case, I have no idea, but If you ask me, I would NEVER encourage anyone to do business with these folks.Check my review history and I'm not an obsessive complainer who gives bad reviews for every business. I'm a tolerant person but this situation is beyond disappointing.

My hat is off to Brian at BT Marine. My boat was showing zero oil pressure on one engine. Brian was recommended to me by a boating friend, so I gave him a call. When I described the circumstances over the phone, he said that it sounded like either an electrical problem or a problem with the sending unit.... and not so much a problem with the actual oil pump in the engine. That sounded good, but I was still apprehensive and made an appointment to have Brian take a look at it.It took a couple of weeks to get an appointment (and it's more like three weeks now) due to being the start of boating season. On the scheduled day Brian called to say he'd be a few minutes late getting to the marina.... a nice touch.He quickly diagnosed the problem as a loose connection and had the engine running, with oil pressure, in no time. What a relief.My take is that Brian is a skilled, honest mechanic and a nice guy. He is now my "go to" guy for future boat problems.

This year has been the busiest boating season for my family and I in quite some time. We were taking our boat out twice, sometimes 3 times a week. My boat started to develop and shifting issue when attempting to shift into forward gear. It would attempt to accelerate before forward was fully engaged causing a very noticeable grind. With labor day coming up and knowing boat repairs can take up to several weeks, I was hesitant to bring my boat in for service thinking I would just wait until the end of the season- so that I can enjoy Labor day out in the lake. I decided to not risk possibly making a minor repair / adjustment worse- and dropped my boat off for service. BT Marine was quick to diagnose the issue and provide an estimate for the repairs. There was no hard selling of additional unnecessary work. Just the required items to get my boat back in the water were it belongs. I am happy to report that they managed finish all repairs right before the Labor Day weekend- and that I was able to take the boat out as planned. Needless to say, the shifting issue was properly addressed and everything went smoothly that day. I was so happy, that on my next day off- I drove back to Brians shop just to tell them personally , what a great job they did. Although BT Marine is over 1 hour away from where I live, the drive is worth the effort knowing that I'm leaving my boat in good hands.

Very friendly and knowledgeable. I'd recommend taking higher end cars here! The timeline is reasonable.

I was having some problems with a my boat. It was sputtering at higher RPMs, and didn't run right. I tried to find several mechanics in the Sacramento area to work on it, none of them would because it was located in a marina. I called BT Marine, and they were able to accommodate my situation. They showed up on time, and were the most honest marine mechanics I've ever dealt with. After checking a few things, he figured out it was just a loose distributor. He was able to time the motor and it runs good now. Thanks guys!

Rude! Overpriced beware! It wasn't broken be for I brought it in! I don't know how he is still in business

Bt marine performed the 100 hour service on our Formula 310ss. Brian was very responsive and was on time to pick up the boat. All the work was done professionally and boat cleaned and waxed. Bt marine did a great job and the boat runs like new

Brian and his team at BT Marine are top-notch professionals in the marine maintenance field. He recently helped me in numerous ways with the acquisition of a 30' Regal which he had been maintaining for the previous owner. The boat is ten years old, but thanks to Brian's care (and the previous owner's attention to detail) the boat really shines like new and is clean as a whistle.For me, Brian handled inspection & repairs, which were completed as promised and with high quality. He was also super-helpful in taking delivery of a trailer and arranging for the boat to be transported to its new home in NV.It's a pity that it will be hard for me to do business with Brian again, considering we live far away. Given the chance I'd gladly have him service my boat any time...
