Lakeside Boat & Marine

Great repair job, The main mechanic is a a machine!!! NO micky mouse work done here, price seemed fair, the Robertos repair place across the street from here is a joke!!! Total crap shit work for cheap, You get what you pay for, lakeside owner is as honest as they come.

I win by lakeside marine for a simple repair come to find out there was a lot more to it but they were easily giving me information on possible remedies that will within my budget if you got a chance go by lakeside marine. They are top notch

As a boat owner I highly recommend this facility/​shop for all Boat Owner Repairs.
I have had my boat in Gideon’s facility two times and both times gideon has performed top notch work.
I have had my boat at other shops. Whereas at the other shops all they want to do is guess what the problem is when I explain to them what the issue is. Tired of being jerked around!!!
The first time i took my boat to lakeside boat & Marine and explain to Gideon what I hear with the outdrive.
Gideon listen to me and called me the following day and explained to me what was wrong and the cost involved. Gideon & Crew at Lakeside Boat & Marine fixed the problem and the boat runs like a champ.
Over heating issues other shops tell me what might be the problem again Tired of being jerked around! I took my boat back to lakeside boat & Marine and again Gideon’s facility and crew found the problem and fixed the issue.
So to any boat owners that live in the Los Angeles area that are having problems with other shops look up lakeside boat & marine Gideon and crew will take care of your problems.
In closing I want to thank Gideon and crew for being the facility that they are and the great work they do and very honest!!!
Thanks D.W.P
Again Thanks Gideon and crew for being the facility you are.

These guys rock !! I didnt even know my merc was still under warranty until Gideon told me !! Replaced all 6 coils, no carge, that could of hurt !! Got a tune as well, could not be happier, boat runs like a raped ape !! Thanks Gideon !!!

I have been taking my boat here for years. Gideon and the gang do awesome work. Only have had one issue over the years and they took care of it no questions asked. I just picked my boat up today and they even washed the boat and trailer for me. I will continue to take my boat there as long as I own it.

This place is Awesome!
I have been taking my boat here for years. Gideon and Crew do top notch work. They do it right the first time at a reasonable price. I trust Gideon and thats why I have been enjoying boating rather than being stuck at the dock regretting doing it right the first time!

–If I could give negative stars I would–
I bought my Dad an old fishing boat and the throttle was a little sticky. My boat mechanic was out of town, so accordingly on my way North, I stopped by Lakeside Boat & Marine to get their thoughts on the problem. Gideon, the owner, took one glance at the throttle assembly and said it would have to be replaced. I commented I was surprised he didn’t want to take a look inside the throttle to see if something was binding or catching, you know, a cheap fix. He didn’t even entertain the idea and then opened a catalog to show me the $ 600 throttle assembly I should buy. I laughed, said thanks for the help and walked out the door.
The next day I took a look at the boat and realized the throttle cam actuator was cracked and the push screw was not able to open the carb up to full throttle. In closing, the binding wasn’t even in the throttle assembly Gideon said I needed to replace, and all the boat needed was a $ 20 throttle cam.
Moral of the story… only use a mechanic you trust and don’t use Lakeside Boat & Marine. Cheers

Found out about this place through ZLF Board and referred by friends from the ZLF members.
Took my boat there to replace my trolling motor, install two fish finders, and few maintenance on my boat. I dealt with the owner, Gideon… very nice guy and knowedgeable. Service was quick, mechanics there were professional & courteous.
I introduced one of my buddies here at the same time and he ended up buying a consigned boat and have it all rigged out. He then sold the boat and now buying another boat and having Gideon do all the inspections and rigg it out for him.
It’s hard to find a good mechanic who is trustworthy and honest. Glad I took my boat here. I will be taking my boat this week again to have Gideon reupholster one of the bench seats and modify it so that I could remove the cushion.
I also found out Gideon went to the same high school as lot of my buddies… small world.

Great bunch of people great service, fair pricing, and honest I always bring my chaparral here and it runs perfect every time I leave thanks guys for all the help
