I’ve had oil leakage problems with my Honda 225. I spoke with the head mechanic today at Charleston Marine and he made me feel comfortable with a solution to the problem. Before committing the $$ to fix the engine I’d like to hear opinions on Charleston Marine’s credibility. Thanks.

I have used Charleston Marine in the past with good results, competent,professional, make sure they leave your boat the way it came in would be my only warning
If you want another look you could call Cameron at Maryville Marine in Georgetown. He was at Nautica forever before they closed down.
Rob at Seals outboard in Mt Pleasant. I have been using him for 20 years, great guy and stands behind his work. 843-849-8788
Local Boy, Just having fun.
Have heard nothing but very good things about Berkeley Outdoors in Moncks Corner. Have saved several of my friend’s bacon when other’s couldn’t.

I took my boat there for some Yamaha factory updates a few years ago. After over 2 months, I finally got my boat back. Linkage wasn’t even hooked back up and several harnesses/clips were not right and 1 motor didn’t even run. I took it back to him and during the next several weeks while sitting in his yard, someone stole my 10" Raymarine screen, VHF, and some other stuff. Several thousand dollars later for new electronics and over 3 months in total with the motors still not right (which by the way ran perfectly before I took it there), I picked up the boat and took it over to Hanckel and within a few days, I was back in the water.
I would recommend not taking it there.

I have used several around town. But two years ago I found a great mechanic. He runs an independant shop and does a great job
He has worked on my yamahas, fiberglass, electrical, fuel system

+1 for Berkeley Outdoors…talk to Shain. He will take care of you! Those guys are top notch.

I have found the guys at Rogue Motion on Folly rd to be quick, knowledgeable, and very fair with their prices
If you are west ashley go to Hanckel without a doubt and talk to Ben in service or John in parts and if in mt. p Rob at Seels is a great guy as stated in another post
Charleston Marine is the only place I take my boat to. Chris V. is a top notch guy and there is a reason he has so many boats in his yard. He does great work.
Umm, you gonna eat that?
Thousands have died to save my freedom. Only one has died to save my soul!
What ever you do, don’t go to “Al’s Marine” in Moncks Corner/ Summerville. Dishonest and will rip you off.
I had a good experience with Paul at Longshore. Fixed right the first time, and saved me some cash.

That is a different company than Seel’s; it is located close by-
behind Seel’s.
Don’t know much about them; a friend told me they had returned his boat with unconnected
cables.

There’s also a really good man who does work from his home on James island…especially for older motors and when looking forhard to find used parts for older motors…has always done us right and helped us get our little motor up and running and saved us much mulla ;). Quick turn around too…and if he can’t fix it…he’ll tell ya so.

Robbie Lane at LnS Marine in Manning. Mile marker 122 off of I95.
Does all the work on:
All Rise (twin F250s)
Holt on (twin F250s)
Two Sons (twin F300s)
all our little boats.
Can not say enough good things about him. I drive from Greenville to get him to work on my boat and the other two drive from Columbia. Lots of the Georgetown crowd come to see him too. 
Set the trap boys, we going to pass through them again!!
