Corey and his crew are top notch! Got the boat fixed in less time quoted, cheaper than quoted. Super professional glad I trusted them with my boat.. Will use again for sure!
Awesome job! Corey and his crew did installing a new Rodan on the front of my boat, very quality work, was in and out in one day at a decent price. I'm very pleased with the outcome.
We take all of our boats here and Cory always gets them taken care of fast which is very important as a boat rental company. One time he drove almost an hour just to pick up a part to fix our boat before the weekend. He also stands behind his work! He had to do a warranty repair for me and he got it taken care of the same day. We very much appreciate Cory and will continue to send him all our work. Hard to find a good mechanic that is both fair in price and fast in service.
I have never, ever been called a liar by a business before in my life. Corey told me I lied to him would not fix my boat without paying him. Although, I don't think he does any of the repairs himself....I had him try to fix my boat twice and paid him very well. Took it to him a third time recently because he told me it was running and all was well, but it wasn't. I haven't used the boat since the last repair. My wife had back surgery and I have not had the time to go out. It's been about 6 weeks since I picked the boat up from Mckeever's and brought it home. We tried to take it out the other day and the motor wouldn't start. It was supposed to be fixed by Mckeever's six weeks ago!!! They told me it was running and in great shape. Corey told me I was lying and had taken the boat out since his last repairs....and he wasn't fixing it for free. We exchanged words and I went to pick up my boat. I will NEVER go back there. He is a very dishonest businessman. The second fix was supposed to replace all the battery wiring. He only replaced certain ones...I kept my mouth shut and let it go. Then he called me a liar today about taking my boat out.....That was a bad business move. Corey, you are a despicable human being who tries to hoodwink your clients. You fooled me twice....not the third time and I want everyone to know to how bad a businessman you are.
Corey gets it done!
When he tells you to bring your boat in,
he works from start to finish.
Most mechanics keep collecting deposits and end up with a scrap yard of boats never finished.
Best Marine mechanic in Bradenton Florida
Best fiberglass repair in Bradenton Florida
Bought a great boat from Mckevers marine very honest and fair price never felt so good about buying a boat in my life. Still fires right up every time. Couldn’t be happier and the service is amazing for tune ups. 10 stars if I could give them.
We had a great experience here. My husband was in a panic because his brothers were flying in for a fishing weekend and his motor quit working the weekend before. He called his normal mechanic who couldn’t even look at it for 2 1/2 weeks. I called McKeevers and explained the situation and he was happy to take the boat in right away. I told him we needed it by the time the brothers arrived and after he did the diagnosis he said he could do it and he delivered on time and for a fair price for the work. This will be our new go to mechanic. Thank you!
Best service a boat owner could want! Professional, extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of boat, and engine repairs! Very dependable with great prices! Use McKeevers Marine, and you’ll never go to another dealer!
Corey saved my Carolina Skiff from being totaled. It had a hull and deck crack. They were able to drain all water out, repair fiberglass, connect my new motor and fix the front deck. I'm happy to know of a shop that does great fiberglass work.
The McKeevers Marine guys will keep you on the water and happy! Corey, studied in the Marine engineering in the Florida Keys and has the know how that others in the industry don’t. Both of my boats have been well cared for every time.
What a great company! Corey and his team had to cut the floor out of my boat to replace a bad gas tank. I cannot even tell that that cut the deck up! If you need work done, these guys know their business!!!! 10/10 all day!
Jason is an awesome guy. Quick, clean, and honest. Extremely knowledgeable and informative. Best mechanic I've met in a long time.
Took my boat in and Cory was excellent..It was the only shop who took the time to look at my boat. Excellent repair and a he did a few other things at no charge. Definitely will use again.
I would not recommend doing business with McKeevers Marine. I consider them to do 80% of the work then leave the last 20% unfinished and most importantly untested. They do not sea trial their work. They sent me to the water with a new engine and throttle. The boat would not go into neutral. I returned the boat to the owner Corey. A few days later he called and said they found the problem and the throttle was fixed. With my family on board at the Rt64 boat ramp the Idle was dangerously high and still would not go into neutral. We slammed into the dock causing a large scuff mark on the bow of my boat. Find a reputable marine mechanic such as Marine Max. Their labor is only $24 per hour more then Mckeevers Marine. I took the boat to them, they found the problem with the throttle, timing issues with the engine idling and starting and an exhaust leak. I had Mckeevers Marine purchase a brand new engine from Land and Sea all brand new gaskets. They just dont have the necessary tools (i.e. proper timing gun for Mercruiser 3.0L engines) and don't take the time to sea trial. The ramp is only 3 miles away from his shop. Take my advise don't use his shop!!!!
Corey and Harley are outstanding. Best marine mechanic I have ever used. Prompt work and reasonable prices. I highly recommend them for your Boat.
Do not let this guy work on your motors.
We brought our motor in for a service before a trip to the keys. Once we were on it for the 1st day the motor kept over heating, when we arrived at the dock to check it out we noticed water wasn't coming up to the top of the motor probably causing damage from all the over heating.
The next morning on our vacation we
dismantled our motor to check the water pump to see if it was even serviced because the thermostats were the same and the spark plugs were the same we thought he charged us 800.00 and didn't change a thing at that point.
We noticed the water pump wasn't aligned which was stopping water to cooling off the upper engine.
On e we changed it out and solved that problem we continued on our vacation the over heating had stop but at this point the engine kept beeping throwing check engine signals the entire trip.
Once we got back back to Bradenton and called mckeever we had to argue to have him look st it and when he did and had someone hook a computer up to it after taking apart the motor to diagnose the problem he then lost parts to our motor and gave it back to us incomplete costing us more money.
So after all that and our motor overheating damaging it furthur let's just say we basically had to rebuild the motor that worked perfectly before we brought it in.
I wanted to settle thoughts before posting negative reviews. Stopped in to have my motor examined and left in frustration after owner stated it was complicated. Isn't that why you have a business? To repair? I was willing to pay for diagnosis but he flat refused to work on it. With 4 bad reviews in a short time I would consider looking elsewhere.
An amazing job of damage repair and spraying of Awlgrip on hull and deck. A flawless finish next level craftsmanship.. Repower and rigged with a Mercury outboard quality work. Would not hesitate to recommend.
Great discovery for a marine mechanic. Prices are reasonable and they are very fast in turning around your repair. They stand behind their work and if you leave a message you can bet they will be calling you promptly.
Told me my motor had bad compression and I needed to get a new one to fix the motor alarm. I took the same motor to another mechanic and he recognized immediately that it was just a faulty impeller. I could have spent thousands trying to replace a motor that continued running great for years after.
The gentlemen employed at this fine establishment are handsome, funny, smart, and they are also snappy dressers. Cory has perfected the art of making German style potato salad and the shrimps in the shrimp scampi are the biggest and freshest around. He and his team of studly co-workers also know their way around a boat. As a bonus you also get to pet a friendly, fuzzy dog named Captian while you wait.
Great turnaround time, they're able to do absolutely anything boat related, fiberglass, mechanical, electronics etc. You get what you pay for and they're definitely money well spent.
The best! Always treats me like I am his best customer. Quick turnaround.
Fast service and the best quality you could ask for! Corey and his team put their hearts into everything they do! Highly recommend!
Corey knows his stuff when it comes to boats. His work is top notch and he is a man of his word. Highly recommend.
Great service!!! Great Price!!! Great people!!! Pictures and videos of the work being completed throughout the repairs. Why go anywhere else??
Terrible drivers , driving too fast and wreckless. About ran me off the road with the trailer they were towing. When confronted, they offered no apology and just drove off.
Excellent service in a timely fashion would recommend to all who wants an experienced mechanic working on your boat
I was disappointed that some things I wanted taken care of was not done and Cory's behavior was disrespectful don't bite the hand that feeds you
Mckeevers is the best around! Highly recommend them to anyone needing boat repair/restoration!
Corey gets it done right, fast, and at a good cost. Thanks for all your help man!
