“Jamie at DePaul is a kind and knowledgeable PRO.
I had a seawater hose clamp break causing melting of a plastic secondary muffler and a near fire because of overheat of the exhaust system. By luck I noticed no water coming from exhaust and shut it down, the coolant did not leave the engine. The thick smoke was terrifying but had not ignited yet. Needless to say I was worried I lost the engine. DePaul was extremely busy but Jamie was a voice of reason and logic and took the time to call me and talked me through how to see what damage there was. For NO CHARGE he shared years of priceless knowledge with me. We were lucky, we caught this before any damage to the engine was done. He did not have to take this time and I appreciate his generosity and expertise.
BTW, I highly recommend an inexpensive exhaust heat alarm on every boat as insurance that you don’t ever experience a scary situation like this that can result in a fire and or terminal damage to a boat and your safety.
And of course, get DePaul to install it!
DePaul is our first choice for diesel work whenever they are available.”
“Had such a WONDERFUL experience with Rays Towing. Brad was so helpful and kind. After I got a flat tire with my 8 month old baby in the car, I was very panicked. Brad was wonderful. He was incredibly patient and caring. I can’t recommend Rays enough. You’ll be grateful if you have the opportunity to work with Brad! Thank you Rays and Brad:)”
“These guys are amazing. After a minor fender bender I brought my BMW into Sarge's for an estimate and repair. Joey provided a very fair job estimate and a 3 day time table once the car was in the shop. On my appointment day (Monday) I brought it in and on Wednesday drove it home. The results were so perfect that it is impossible to tell any work was done. Highly recommended - from a very finicky BMW owner.”

“Brought my mom’s car in to be fixed and Clayton went above and beyond to ensure that her car passed inspection. Clayton is truly a master at his craft. I highly recommend Island Auto Repair if you are looking for impeccable service.”
“excellent service and communication! my vehicle was repaired correctly which provides me confidence in their quality workmanship. I can now refer as my go to local mechanic shop”
“I wish I had known about this garage before, it's great. I had taken my car in for inspection to a different place a couple months ago, waited for hours, and then ended up paying hundreds of dollars for stuff I don't even know if I needed. At Oliveira's garage, I was in and out in 30 minutes and only paid for the inspection. It was fast, easy, no-nonsense, and awesome.”
“We've been taking our cars here for years. Father and son team who've been in business for decades. Very knowledgeable.
Excellent work and honest as the day is long.”
“First time I tried the business after being recommended by go-to mechanic who happened to backlogged with appointments. This place was AWESOME! They fit me right in and remedied my brake issues that day. Not to mention the price was totally affordable! This may have become my new go-to spot! Please don’t ever close.”
“Absolutely great job. My 2003 911 Porsche looks like brand new! They even got out small scratches that other more expensive detailors could not. Easy to work with, worked to accommodate my schedule. Their price was very reasonable for the quality of the work. If you want your car to look great these are the people.”
