Central Valley Evinrude Mechanics ?
Central Valley Evinrude Mechanics ?
Looking for an honest, dependable, knowledgeable Evinrude mechanic in the central valley. If other Evinrude guys are on here and see this I would like your input on who you use.
Nothing personal against the mechanics at C&C Modesto ( Greg is cool, and seems capable ) but I would prefer to pass on that company as a whole experience. Jason Oliver is very good but darn near impossible to get ahold of, and Gerry Johnson only does Merc and Yamaha.
Any thoughts, comments, sharing of good/bad experiences or suggestions with regards to the subject would be
sincerely appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff

Bruce at the Boat Shoppe in Fresno has done warranty work for me. I had a good experience with them and they got me in quickly.
Re: Central Valley Evinrude Mechanics ?
I spoke with the mechanic at Bob's about 5 years ago and he claimed to know a lot about Evinrude's. I'm not going to say expert because I don't know but he claimed to know a lot about them. Not sure if he is currently working there.
Greg would have told you how big of a p.o.s. your Evinrude is if you would have taken it there.

They're not in the Central Valley, but this shop services my Evinrude's for over 16 years. Rich and Joey know these motors inside and out, and are certified Evinrude mechanics.Just Jeff wrote: ↑Tue May 17, 2022 10:39 am Looking for an honest, dependable, knowledgeable Evinrude mechanic in the central valley.

Bob’s Marine in Modesto. Honest, reasonably priced, and Bill’s customer service is good. The mechanic Al has been wrenching Evinrudes since at least the 90s.

Re: Central Valley Evinrude Mechanics ?
Not exactly in the Central Valley but if you’re willing to drive to Boatmasters in Livermore I highly recommend them. They have worked on my Evinrude the past 22 years. They rebuilt my lower end a couple years ago and have always been competent with Evinrudes.

Just spoke with Bob’s Marine, I was told that they don’t work on Evinrudes anymore.

Re: Central Valley Evinrude Mechanics ?
Just wanted to say thanks for all that responded ! The Boat Shoppe in Fresno would be the closest to my house so I will probably contact them first. I don't have any immediate needs at the moment, just being proactive. My current mechanic is wanting to retire and winding his business down as much as possible. ( plus he is a merc guy primarily )
BTW, As per a previous post Bob's Marine no longer working on Etecs.
Jiggin4bass.......my Etec is a 2007 90hp.....we probably have crossed paths on Eastman at some point in time. ( although I don't go there very much anymore due to insanely low water and Ave 26 being an axle wrecker ).

Re: Central Valley Evinrude Mechanics ?
Jeff I still fish both lakes Eastman and Hensley there still both low but fishing is good right now on both. I live in the Rancho's now. So I go around by Hensley and across over roller coaster hills to go to Eastman. Best is the wild it keep everybody off the lake I've been going in the afternoons when the wind really comes up. Last few times up on both lakes had the hole lake to myself. The jig bite and throwing chatterbaits both have been really good.
