I have an older boat (circa early 1960's) and mostly original...outbord included. I heard of Smiley's through a friend who said he had a pleasant experince...but more importantly could handle older motors. I brought the boat in saw several very new boats in the yard...not what I expected...but obviously he handled a broad range of vessels. Dave was kind, thorough and direct. He gave me specific expectations on what he could do and when. He beat those expectations. Dave was very helpful in making sure I understood the repairs needed and offered options as well. No high pressure, no sneaky tactics...just good honest business. Dave was a nice guy to boot! Easy to talk to and do business with. He's not open on Friday's so plan around that. His place is a ways away for me, but easy enough to get to as it's right off the freeway.
Dave's the real deal. I liked not worrying about my repairs and how I'd be treated. Good Business!
