Brad, the owner, has been working on my boat for about 20 years and he's never let me down. Lago Vista Marine is the original dealership that sold my boat new and Brad was the mechanic at that dealership. He's a trained Mercruiser mechanic. Today Lago Vista Marine is service only, but the service has that dealer service pedigree. This is the local, tried and tested guy that you can depend on. He can do everything from maintenance to full engine replacement and he has the training and years of experience that you want. He can pickup and return boats to garage, storage, or slip. The only challenge here is his availability. You can't get same day or even same week service here, he has a wait-list and you have to wait your turn. So if your boat breaks during your vacation it's not going to be fixed until after your vacation. But you can have Brad go get your boat and lake test it for you in advance of your vacation, that's what I recommend if you're out of town. The trade-off with the local guy who has his reputation on the line with every job, is that everyone wants that guy, so you have to get in line and wait for that guy. But once you wait your turn you get good results.

Superior customer service, extremely knowledgeable, very helpful, honest and great pricing for parts and service. I was in need of some extensive work on my motor and Brad was patient as I asked many questions that helped guide me to make the right decision for the repairs. They did quality work for less than others and went above and beyond to provide great service and help correct a repair that another mechanic did not do but charge me for. Brad and Ryan are as nice as they come, very impressed and will be a repeat customer!!

Mark and I are so thankful for Brad at Lago Marine. The first time we went in, he offered us lots of advice on maintenence we could do cheaper ourselves as complete newbie boat owners. Someone that does stuff like that will always get my business! The pointers improved the situation substantially but not 100%. We took it in to him and he was so quick, inexpensive and just a great guy. Highly recommend!!! We finally got to enjoy a stress free new to us boat ride thanks to Brad.

Over the 22 years I have lived near Lago, Brad and Lago Marine has helped me several times. He is the best boat diagnostician I have found. He has gotten me back on the water repeatedly when I was kind of discouraged. I wouldn't have been able to get back on the water this year without him. Now I love my boat! Incidentally, he helped me when the service department at the big dealership I bought it at said they wouldn't work on the boat they sold me brand new, because it was 20 years old (should call it Sale and Skidaddle). So, if I were buying a boat next time I would talk to Brad. Thanks Brad and Lago Vista Marine!

They were able to squeeze me in for a short diagnosis and affect a quick repair. It ended up that my boats issues were too big to handle quickly but they told me up front that fast as easy and long was ..... long.I would go back in a heartbeat, they were very good to me.

Outstanding customer service- extremely knowledgeable and fair pricing for all parts and service. Brad and his team are well organized and prepared in advance for service in our Mercury 4 stroke outboard. Highly impressed and will be a repeat customer. Also, they’re location could not be more convenient for anyone in and around the Lago Vista community. Check’em out!!

Brad and team did a great job on my engine replacement. The boat runs like new and he did this quickly as parts are an issue with manufacturers behind production due to Covid. They had the boat detailed and every inch was meticulous and attention to detail was apparent. Thank you Brad for this service as well as previous services!

Had my water pump impeller in stock. Reasonably priced OE part. Offered some friendly install advice, and I was back on the lake in no time.

I had to swallow my pride in 2018. I have been a boat owner/operator since I was 15; just a few decades ago. Never ever had any major issues in all those years. Well that changed. On a moonless night June of 2018; I was at the helm staying very close to the mile markers. About 5 minutes away from Beach Side Billy's my oldest son took the helm. With my guidance and under the stars we were headed back to Lago Vista; about a 45 min excursion. The lake was down and we found ourselves stuck in limestone at Arkansas Bend. Fast forward the boat fiberglass was cracked in the rear, the outdrive and prop jacked. Brad advised me to call my insurance company since the damage was extensive. Foremost Insurance hooked up with Brad and the boat was a total loss. Brad and I discussed and he advised me that with a new outdrive, prop, and repair of the fiberglass; not by his shop but one he recommended; the Monterrey should rock the waters of LT again; hopefully not the shallow waters again. We were very pleased by Lago Vista Marine work and Foremost Insurance handling our claim. They both Rock!!!! I highly recommend both and Lago Vista Marine is one of the cleanest and organized shops I have ever been visited and utilized. Not a bolt or screw out of place.
