I've only taken my boat to be serviced by Alan over the last 2 years after my previous long-serving trusted mechanic moved to the country. I thought I'd struggle to find someone reliable and genuine that provides value for money - Alan from Southside is all that and more. He is very knowledgeable, open, honest and there are no nasty surprises when you pick up your boat. Highly recommend.

Had an anchor winch installed by Alan. Superb workmanship, communication and a brilliant outcome.

Alan has serviced my boats for the past 10 years. His knowledge, experience and attention to detail gives me full confidence in my boat when I'm offshore. As others have said, very honest and communicates very well through the whole process. I highly recommend Alan.

Alan is high on detail and does an excellent job. He has been looking after my outfit for four years and has installed an electric winch as well. Not one problem! No wonder he is fully booked out till the end of the year.

I have been using Alan at Southside Marine to service all my boats for the past 8 years, I wouldn't go anywhere else. He always does great work & keeps you informed every step, there are no hidden surprises. If Alan says it needs to be done, you better get it done, or be ready to push your boat home! I really appreciate Alan's advice on what my options are, often he provides a solution that costs less than what I thought. One time I had an issue with a fuel line & left a message when Alan was on Christmas Break, I got a phone call as soon as he came back to check if I still needed help. This is typical of Alan's customer service. 5 stars is not enough!
