Pre-purchase engine inspections

Good guy and a great mechanic,

Done right the first time! His knowledge and experience is second to none. I recommend Tom to everyone I know. His pricing is competitive and the peace of mind is priceless!

I wanted to share my experience with Tom Turner in a recently completed engine repair on my fifteen year old SeaRay Sundeck. I knew Tom when he was the Service Manager for Clark’s Landing where we bought the boat in 2009. He provided accurate assessments of engine problems we encountered in 2014 and suggested accurate recommendations for his technicians to follow to address the issues - he is was absolutely correct. When I encountered multiple issues with the boat at the end of last season, I was looking for someone with experience, someone I trusted, and someone who could work on a transom drive on my older boat (had a shop or access to a shop at a boat yard), and hopefully close by to allow me to navigate by water from my home. It had been several years since I had talked to Tom. I called Clark’s Landing on the Western Shore and was asked for a list to technicians they would recommend for work on the Eastern Shore. While they provided more than one name, Tom’s name was given. After briefly talking to Tom about the issues I was having he told me if I could get it to his shop at Kent Narrows he would fit the repair in within two weeks. He also make sure that I would only have to bring in the boat just as his schedule would allow for the repair. Tom provided an estimate which seemed fair to me. I got the boat to him last week and the job was completed in just a few days. Before I left we spent time on the water making sure everything was working to both his and my expectations. I had an issue with the bilge pump (it was not on Tom’s list to repair). Tom offered to come out and take a look. Within an hour he was my boat and diagnosed the problem as a loose fuse. He fixed it and was on his way. The boat runs better than it ever has. In summary, I would strongly recommend Tom to anyone who is looking for a person who excels in engine repair, knows his trade, is honest, and truly cares about customer service. I am updating this two weeks after writing the initial review. Two nights ago I had an issue with the steering on the boat. I tied up at a dock knowing it was now dark, I was 15 miles from home, and my boat was not working. I called Tom asking him for suggestions. I was not expecting what he said next. He said I will leave the shop now and drive to St. Michael's to see what I can do - no guarantees it could be fixed at the dock. Tom arrived 45 minutes later, diagnosed the problem, and told me the boat would have to be towed to his shop. He said he would take care of the marina fees for taking the boat out of the water and installing a new part. He also gave my wife and I ride home. I have talked to several people including the marina manager and the tow boat company owner. I told him what a great person Tom was. They and others have said no one stands behind their work as Tom Turner does. I must remind you this repair is not related to what Tom had previously worked on for me. If you need work done on your boat , I can wholeheartedly say Tom is a tremendous mechanic and a great business person. We are lucky to have him in the Queenstown.

Tom Turner is a "good guy"! He stands behind his work, and I feel he's an honest person who will do what's right. And to top it off, he's just a really nice guy!!! I would definitely recommend him and his employee Rich. I had an unfortunate experience with one of his subcontractors and Tom made things right. He personally corrected the issue.

I spent more than 25 years in the boating industry and have worked with some of the best techs in the business. Tom is one of those techs. There’s no cutting corners with Tom. He makes sure the job is done and done correctly

Turner Mobile Marine did a repower on my 36 Tiara last winter. Have to say that Tom and crew are top notch, excellent work, timely, fair pricing and very easy to work with. He gave an old boat a new life!

Great guy, expert mechanic , the best of the best, very neat work, good attitude, responsive to related questions with good honest valuable advice, I know him now for almost 3 years.

Tom was patient with this newbie after buying a oldie boat. Walked me thru the best solution for on the hook power. He has a lot of connections and was able to get a quote for a lithium system from an expert in that technology. He was able to offer up a better system instead that will last the life of the boat.
