Marine Machine

Highly recommended. My boat was overheating as a result of the poor work from another repair shop. Marine Machine picked up my boat and returned it the next day completely repaired. They even took care of a few other minor issues and washed the engine compartment. Michael and Stephen spent a lot of time answering my questions. These guys are top notch.

Marine Machine provided outstanding service for my 2001 Cobalt, handling everything from the dock pickup to trailering it to their shop and keeping me informed at every stage of the repair. Their team’s transparency, craftsmanship, and willingness to explain each step put me completely at ease. I highly recommend them for their honesty, professionalism, and commitment to quality boat care. I'm so happy and my boat is too!

We took our boat trailer to Mike before we set out on a 1000 mile trip. His staff went over it and returned it to like new condition. In addition, when we experienced a last-minute lighting issue, they help fix it and get us on the road. We will be back!

Earlier this year, our family purchased a 1991 Chris Craft with a 3.0L OMC stern drive as our starter boat. Unfortunately, after just one outing, we discovered milky oil in the drive and faced significant difficulty finding a mechanic willing to service a boat with OMC. After numerous rejections from local shops around Lake Norman, a recommendation led us to Michael at Marine Machine. Michael's willingness to assist and his extensive knowledge of OMC products were immediately apparent. He is straightforward and takes the time to explain his approach thoroughly, avoiding quick fixes for comprehensive diagnostics and lasting solutions. His detailed explanation of the issues, necessary repairs, and reasons behind them were particularly enlightening. Marine Machine stands out for their honesty, skill, and commitment to delivering the best possible outcome. While their rates are on the premium side at $160/hr, the quality and thoroughness of their service justify the cost. For anyone in need of expert marine repairs, especially on older models, I highly recommend Michael and his team at Marine Machine.

Best marine mechanic around. Michael is a true professional at everything he does. His attention to detail is insane. Highly recommend Marine Machine to anyone in need of awesome boat services.
