Short answer: Harbor Marine brings mobile boat service to Alpharetta homes and storage lots and to Lake Lanier slips: routine engine care, diagnostics, detailing and winterization. Call (770) 967-8495.
We come to the boat
Alpharetta owners have busy schedules, and towing a boat for an oil change can eat up a whole morning. With mobile service, we come to where the boat is: your driveway or garage, a storage lot, or your slip or dock on Lake Lanier. You keep your day, and the boat gets its care.
What we can do on site
- Oil and filter changes.
- Impeller replacement and cooling checks.
- Battery and charging tests.
- Diagnostics for hard starts, rough running and warning lights.
- Bellows and drive inspections.
- Detailing.
- Winterization and spring prep.
The list that fits on site varies by boat and location, and we confirm it before the visit.
HOAs, storage lots and marinas
Many Alpharetta HOAs and storage lots have rules about outside work, and many marinas do too. Some ask service providers to check in at the office or limit work to certain hours. Check before you book and tell us what you find. Where on-site work is off limits, the Buford shop takes over.
When the boat needs the shop
Some jobs need more than a mobile visit: drive rebuilds, gearcase work, structural fiberglass and gel coat repairs, and anything that needs the boat on a lift for a while. Those happen at our shop at 6516 Lanier Islands Parkway in Buford. If you cannot tow, ask about boat transport in Alpharetta.
What to have ready
For a trailer boat, leave room around the trailer and make sure we can reach the engine hatch and drive. For a boat in a slip, tell us the marina, slip number and how to reach it. Let us know about power and water. If you will not be there, tell us where the keys are.
Combining jobs
Since we are already there, it makes sense to add jobs to one visit. An oil change, impeller check and bellows inspection can all happen at once. Late in the season, the same trip can cover winter prep. Share everything on your list up front, so we bring the right parts.
Weather
Mobile work depends on the weather. Storms, lightning and high wind push visits back, and detailing and coating need dry days. If the forecast turns, we will reach out to reschedule.
What affects a mobile visit
Pricing is set when you call for a quote. These are the things that change the size of the job:
- The jobs on the list and how long they take.
- Parts needed.
- Access to the boat.
- Any finding that turns the visit into a shop job.
What we bring
We bring the common parts, fluids, filters and tools for the jobs you booked. Tell us the engine model ahead of time, so we arrive with the right filters and impeller kit. If the visit turns up something bigger, we explain what we found and help you decide whether it can wait or should go to the shop.
Why it works for busy owners
Many Alpharetta owners use mobile visits to stay ahead of problems. A spring check, a mid-season look and fall winterization, all done where the boat sits, means fewer lost weekends and fewer surprises at the ramp.
After the visit
When we finish, we tell you what we did, what we saw and anything to keep an eye on. If a part was close to worn out, we will say so, so you can plan the next visit before it fails on the water.
