James Boat and Fiberglass Repair

I'm actually really disappointed and honestly feel like I was taken advantage of. Last week I brought my boat in to have it looked at to have a swim platform with a ladder replaced. I had an accident the week before and it was torn off the back of the boat. I drove it to this place because I had seen a few reviews and thought it would be a good spot but i see i trusted the wrong reviews. Innately I had a good feeling and James seem like he wanted to help. He said he could fix it and to go and order the parts and call him when they came in. I showed him exactly what I was going to order and was told it would work. Fast forward a week I brought the boat with excitement that I was going to have it fixed. An hour and a half later he called and said that he couldn't do it and that what I ordered wouldn't work. I was charged $125 to take one side bar off the boat. I basically spent money and told to order a huge swim platform from a place and have it shipped to his business so he could install it. I got nothing but disappointment. I have now taken it to another shop and explained what I had just gone through and they looked puzzled and asked who it was. The boat is now getting repaired with original parts and swim deck refinished for the same price i was quoted with James.

Over 6 months later now motor no impeller and not COMPLETE! Yet we were told was completed two weeks prior and we would be charged for it sitting COMPLETE doesn't look complete to us. Motor never given to us James wouldn't even come out.Yet Greg P wants to state on the business page as well here that the work was Professional and James plays such detailed work. FALSE ADVERTISEMENT! OnlyOne star because you have to...

So James boat repair is legit. We received quality craftsmanship for our business eatery needs.(durable vinyl repairs and replacement). Pricing was fair, not exactly a discount type outlet, however we fully received quality products and services. The booths are holding up better than expected due to the Marine grade vinyl he recommended. Thanks James & crew

Looks like "Greg" does a lot of cleaning up for James where customers are concerned, it's a shame James just can't be an honest business man. He told me how he does insurance work all the time and even had questions about who I took my boat to for mechanical issues. After asking for an estimate he told me he could take a look and give me a verbal ( he "only does insurance estimates if he's paid by insurance" ) ok buddy. I called to check business hours for the 4th he told me he'd be back Tuesday, fair enough. But when I showed up at 6 on Tuesday he wasn't there so I called. He answered obviously hung over and told me he'd "be in later because of the late night" ok...gas is cheap so yeah I can bring it back later...came back later still no James, the guy told me he was in Berryessa but leave the boat and he'd call in a while. James called and said the upholstery would be $19,500!!!! The boat is 20 yrs old and only 19ft WTF?!? Now that I've read these reviews I see. I know a scam when I see one so steer clear of this guy. He had probably 6 boats in his very messy/stinky hoarder hole. We picked up our boat and left quickly. Don't waste your time there are plenty of honest companies out there.

I sent my boat to James the Summer 2019 and stilll DO NOT HAVE OUR BOAT back!!!!! No joke! It is literally still in his shop and not even close to being done! We have called the police & our insurance company and hopefully something will happen soon! We have missed out on 2 summers of boat life with our sweet daughters! They are at the perfect age to learn all the water sports but yet we have NO boat!!!!!! So frustrated!!

Im very pleased with my seats in my salon done by James team.. They helped me look around for good samples on color schemes and agreed on 2 colors and it came out perfect. Jennifer was a huge help and had good ideas.

This guy is a complete JOKE. I had some Gelcoat work done by James to fix some minor blemishes and scratches as the hull is 26 years old and inherently has blemishes. He charged 25k+ and took 10 weeks on what was supposed to be 1.5-2 weeks to do. (lost half my summer). When he was finally done in mid July, he left the boat out at the back of his shop for me to pick up and said he had other things to do and wont be there. when I saw the boat, I was in shock on how garbage the work was especially for the price. There are areas where he burned through the gel coat, areas he didn't sand enough, areas where you can clearly see his match lines and other areas where you can clearly see marks from the buffer. He got overspray all over the trailer and put burn marks on a couple of my speaker grilles from the buffer as well. I called him the very next day when he opened and politely told him what happened and that I was unhappy with the work. He apologized and told me he had one of his techs do it and he should have looked it over before it left. I told him I would like it corrected during winter and don't want to lose any more of my summer. "Were joined at the hip on this, I'm a man of my word." he tells me. Fast forward to October I give him a call asking for his availability. He is moving to a different shop and things are hectic so I told him its all good and called him again in January. From January until April he kept giving me the same response every time I called. "I'm waiting for people to come pick up their boats, Ill be able to get you in next week." after 3 months of politely asking if he has room yet he blew up on the phone at me. This guy never planed on actually standing behind his work and charges literally 3 TIMES the price. I hope this review gives insight to how much of a scam this guy is and keeps people from getting screwed like I did.

james boat and fiberglass repair has owed me $2010 dollars since august 23. james has promised to send me my refund and invoice on a weekly basis. over twenty weeks of phone calls. i have turned him into the better business bureau, he does not respond to the BBB. i have now turned him into the district attorney consumer assistance unit. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH JAMES BOAT AND FIBERGLASS REPAIR, YOU WILL REGRET IT. shame on you james for taking advantage of your customers!

Took in my jet ski seat to get changed out to some new upholstery, they got it done in the same day and it came out great! Thank you!

Do not go here. They responded they tried to reach out to me to resolve. This is a LIE. No one has tried to make contact with me to make things right. James will take your money but he refuses keep his commitments.He took my money and refused to complete the work or refund the money. All I got was a damaged boat back after a year of waiting.
