Does anyone know a good Honda mechanic in the So Cal. area? I'm very happy with Specialized in Oxnard ,but it's a 4.5 hour drive for me. The closest is Hemet, but that guy tried to rip me off to the tune of 19k to repower perfectly good motors.
I have a major rust problem on the frames and they need to be replaced.
We have the boat stored in Redlands ,Ca.
Shawn O. the old Tonie O is still cranking away.

I consulted Eric at Specality, not Specialized. He once again earned my trust by advising me to save about a grand and not replace the frames. He has never seen one break, they all rust, and they are nothing but an eyesore. Thumbs Up

Thank god for the rare honest mechanic.

That's our Eric-- honest.
He has ALWAYS taken care of us and being closer then you, all I have to do is give him a call and he comes over to the boat to check something out or pick it up for service.
He will always have my business!

Try Avalon Yacht & Boat Sales, 1300 W 14th St, Long Beach, (562)495-2130. They just do outboards, they do a lot of work for Long Beach. They certainly were knowledgeable on my motor. They worked with Honda to get my warranty straightened out with Honda, AND they had a outboard dyno. Been there for years. Right off the end of the Long Beach fwy.
