Lelands Marine

I have heard for years about this repair shop being the best by far in San Jose area
I can’t say enough about what a pleasant experience it was to have my boat repaired by Leland
What a friendly guy sent pictures of what he found called to followup. Arranged his schedule so I could drop and pick up over the weekend and had all the parts to get things in order without delay. Even re strapped my wake board tower so it would rub against seats on my way home
This was the best customer experience I have had anywhere in years!!!
You won’t find anyone better

Leland took care of my boat engine. Great experience. Accepted my parts, fixed what was needed. Super honest, great price, someone you can trust. Very rare!

Have used Leland’s for about 4 years. Always used for annual service. This year after annual service brought boat to Tahoe and 1^st time out boat overheated. Took it to local repair to try and save vacation. Impeller was broken and heat damaged exhaust. (Leland was in the loop as to what I was doing). Local shop fixed impeller problem but family took boat home to Leland which picked up the boat at my home and took it in. Cost up at Tahoe to try and fix was $ 491.00. When I went to get boat to send home Leland was talking to owner on phone to understand the problem and what work was done. Owner came out explaining he was telling Leland what happened and Leland already paid the $ 491.00 and commenting what an honest and up front person Leland is.
When annual service was done new impeller was put in. Things happen with boats. When something happens it’s how you respond. There was never an excuse.
I will use and recommend Leland. It’s rare to find such an honest person who does quality work.

Leland saved us a bunch of time and money getting our shaft fixed the day before our vacation. He was very informative and had excellent customer service! I will continue taking my boat there from now on!

I collect classic boats and found Leland about 10 years ago when I purchased a classic wooden boat, Leland drove all the way to Santa Cruz to check the boat out and charge me 10.00 for gas. On more than one occasion he has sugggested I don’t buy certain boats because of the cost involved. It is an absolute pleasure doing business with him. His prices are more than fair and he is as honest as they come.

Leland always does really good work. I have a jet boat with a large 454 engine. He does it all. He also installed my electronics and sound system. He is very fair on price. Leave him a message and he will call you back. I highly recommend everyone to Leland.

A few years ago, we bought a 25 ft ocean fishing boat as a «project boat». It had a ton of potential, but needed a lot of work. We did a «down to the bare bones», full restoration, and it really turned out great. Except for one problem… we found some soft spots in the transom, where some holes had been drilled, but not been properly sealed, then just painted over.
We took it to Leland, with concerns about transom rot. He did a thorough inspection, and confirmed that we did have a serious structural problem. At that point, I figured it was a total loss, as the cost of a new transom would equal most of what we had invested to date. Leland hated to see the boat «totaled», and walked us through all various options for the repair work. It was extensive, and although we had a lot of fiberglassing experience, we weren’t inclined to mess with the transom (especially with a large outboard).
As a solution, he offered to do the main sections that effected the structural integrity of the boat, and let us do all of the time consuming cosmetic fiberglassing. In the end, we did the prep per his instructions, and Leland built us a new, incredibly stout transom. He gave it back to us ready to glass in the rails, fair, sand, and paint. We finished the cosmetic part of the job, and the boat looks factory new.
Not only did he do an incredible job of making the boat stronger than it was originally, he took the time to explain all of the work being done, why it was necessary, and let us help defray costs by doing the non critical work ourselves.
I don’t know of any other shops that would have been that flexible or understanding. He really is an honest, fair, caring guy. I’m sure he didn’t relish doing the job this way, but he also hated to see a great boat hit the scrap yard.
And his price was more than fair. It allowed us to finish the job, and now we have a terrific fishing boat, that I feel safe taking my family offshore in.
I will take all of my future business to Leland, and recommend him to anyone.

Need repairs done on your boat? Leland is your man! I can’t say enough good things about this guy. First of all, he knows his trade. Better yet, he is honest and fair, and he’s nice. This qualifies him for an A+ rating in my book. He will give you an estimate of the charges BEFORE he does the work. Furthermore, his work is flawless. I highly recommend Leland.

I’ve used Leland’s twice for our 98 Reinell Runabout and both times found him to be professional and, most important, HONEST. I never have to worry about being conned into replacing the «hamsters in my boat’s muffler» with Lelands, An honest repair shop and he delivers on-​time and quality work. We bring our boat all the way from San Benito County when other shops are closer because Lelands has earned our trust and business.
