ATL Marine

What an outstanding experience. I was on vacation and fishing Choke Canyon when a long story short, I needed a new prop. Jason did everything he possibly could to find that prop for me. He spent a lot of time calling places and finally locating me one. I went and got it brought it back and he had me going the same day. That would not happen back home. I am very grateful that you guys took the time to get me back going again while I’m on vacation. I greatly appreciate it Kirk.

Excellent, fast service! They repaired my 5hp outboard motor after it was submerged in salt water. I was surprised at how quickly they had it done! Reasonable price and very friendly too! It's so nice to have a really good local marine shop! Thank you very much!

This business is under new ownership. The service is night and day better than in the past. I took my boat in and spoke to Jason, who listened patiently to my boat repair needs. I received great service at a fair price. I highly recommend ATL Marine. Glad to have a trustworthy boat repair shop nearby.

I live in San Antonio and all the boat shops over here have a wait time of a few weeks at least. I had an upcoming trip in 2 weeks and wanted the boat to be ready, after searching on Google for a decent boat shop, I came across M&S Motors in Floresville, read all the excellent reviews and decided that's the shop I was going with.  Allen and his guys laid there hands on my old Johnson 25hp and had it back to me in a week. Running excellent! They went over and beyond on my motor and I really appreciate it. This is the only place I will take my boat to get serviced. Some of the things they checked were the combustion of the cylinders, fixed the timing issue, added a fuel filter as well as fixing and mounting my kill switch. Since then I have taken my skiff to Braunig Lake and to the coast (ran some fresh water thru the motor when I got back as well as running it dry). Motor starts right up every time. Allen and shop, thank you for getting me out on the water.

I took my boat i just bought here due to being local and priced reasonable and i have had work done there once on another boat and they got it fixed up but thats not the case this time. They were about a week or less out on work so it would be quick getting in so i dropped it off and about a week and half later i got a call from Allen with the most major items priced to get repaired. I had to cut back a little but told them to repair my motor needing a steering pivot arm and to fix the chips on the outside of the entire boat and fix the trailer which i was able to get the axle from the manufacturer quicker than getting one built. I dropped the axle off after it came in about a week later and they were just about finished with the glass work then it took a bit to get it back in the shop to the engine mechanic since he was working on another job a head of mine which is understandable. Well they got to mine finally and tore the motor done and replaced the corroded part but then had hell getting it to run again. The boat ran great before i took here, i know the previous owner and they used this boat all the time and i made sure it ran good before i bought it although due to some trailer issues i was unable to run it on the water. Well Allen called and they needed a air regulator rebuild kit cause the diaphragm had a hole in it. I told them to fix it, the got the parts in and finally had it running right. I picked it up and got it loaded up to go to the lake that weekend just to find out it wouldnt run. It died on me trying to take off then wouldnt start so i had to use the trolling motor to get back to the doc. I tried to check for any obvious problems but couldnt find anything but the motor wouldnt hard rev over 3200 rpms and pop and sputter and blow all kinds of smoke if you were easy on it you could get it up to 4200 rpms and the alarm would sound. I dropped it back off the Monday after the weekend telling them this and a few days later Allen called saying i had a code for oil level low and an air sensor again i told them to fix the boat. The parts came in and i called to check and the motor still wouldnt run right so after a few days Allen called said i needed fuel pumps and gave me a price and some part numbers to see if i could find some better prices but after a quick look around i called him back and said to get them coming being the dealers were higher and i didnt want to get some cheap junk pumps. He ordered them the next day and got them overnight but several people were out that day so it didnt get worked on till the next week where once again it still would not run right. Several days later he called and told me the air regulator which they rebuilt last time had a tamper plug removed and the factory adjustment screw was jammed in so hard it wouldnt back out and this killed my fuel pumps and must have been done by the the previous owner but this guy has never had the boat worked on nor the person he had bought the boat from which was his buddy that bought the boat originally. When Allen called about the fuel pumps i asked him about changing the water pump since this boat hasnt been serviced much i had a feeling this would be my next issue he gave me a quick price and i said its cool do it but they didnt nor service the lower unit as i found out. Well they changed the air regulator housing with a used one and the boat then ran fine and they were going to charge me for it and said the new one was like 345ish dollars and i was like thats what you charged me for the first time and he said they should have changed that cause they just used a diaphragm not the entire kit. He said he would adjust the price on this ticket and not charge me for the used one. When i went to pick up the boat i showed them a picture of the fuel rail area that isnt 100% showing the air regulator but i can tell and numerous mechanics at the automotive dealer i work at can tell the tamper plug is still there. You can also tell there is drag marks now where this plug was removed an not there before. They disagreed with me!!
