rick Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 Does anyone happen to know if Leon Campbell in Ridgeway still repairs outboards, or if there is anyone in the region who does repair besides the big marinas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w1w Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 ...please be careful of a guy that used to or could still CLAIM to repair outboards/inboards...his property was close to Sodom Rd. after you get off the QEW and are heading towards Crystal Beach...it was off to the right about a mile away from the QEW...he (or a friend) did a skeg repair for me and he butchered it...one friend has a horror story that involved $1000's...my loss was $150...some of you probably got ripped off, too...

Bill, the guy you are referring to was Stevensville Auto Truck Marine.....and is now in jail. No more worries about him. Google it, good read. And on another note, I highly recommend Ken Bush out of welland. Does great work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOE FISHIN Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 It depends on how big the outboard is... I have used a dutch guy in Beamsville for repairs and have been very happy. Check kijij or pm me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianfcat Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 I called that guy on Kijiji and he didn't want to work on my 75 hp(he wants small motors easy to store so his neighbours don't complain) But he gave me some free advice that solved my problem. Seemed like a nice guy on the phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canadianfcat Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 I know this is old but some of you will be happy to see the girlfriend for Stevensville Auto truck and marine is on the latest list of drivers charged with DUI... A little karma I guess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Botchegalupe Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Ten years ago I learned the expensive way not to use a guy who works on boats out of his garage. Twenty minutes after putting my boat equipped with an oil injected 50 HP Suzuki back in the water the engine seized. I now use Nichols Marine. I brought my boat in Tuesday at noon and picked it up Wednesday at noon. They do good work, but charge $90 per hour. The important thing to note is that dealers carry insurance, a new four-stroke costs approximately $10,000. It isn't worth the risk trying to save a few bucks using a guy who probably isn't insured, and hasn't got a pot to piss in should you decided to take him to court if he ruins your outboard.
