Service at home, with the shop close behind
Buford owners have an advantage. Our shop is right here on Lanier Islands Parkway, so mobile service in town comes with a short trip to the shop if the job needs it. For everything that can be done on site, we come to you.

When it needs the shop
Drive rebuilds, structural fiberglass work and bigger engine repairs usually need the shop. If the boat is already on a trailer, you can bring it in. If not, we can help with boat transport in Buford. The shop is at 6516 Lanier Islands Parkway.
Combining visits
When we are already at your boat, it is easy to handle more than one thing. An oil change can include an impeller check, a winterization visit can include a battery test, and a detail can turn up a gel coat chip that we note for later. Tell us everything on your list when you book so we bring the right parts and time.
Neighborhood and HOA rules
Some Buford neighborhoods have rules about work in driveways or on community docks. If yours does, let us know so we can plan the visit to fit. If on-site work is not allowed, the shop is close by.
What a typical Buford visit looks like
Most mobile visits in Buford start with a quick conversation about the boat and the problem, then a look at it in person. For routine service, we handle the work on the spot. For a diagnosis, we track down the cause and explain what we found. If the fix needs the shop, we tell you why and what comes next. Either way, you leave the visit knowing where the boat stands.
Weather matters too. Rain and wind can push some dock work to another day.
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 job, and whether it can be done on site.
- Access to the boat.
- Parts needed.
If the work turns out to need the shop, the trip is short.
Close to home, close to the shop
For Buford owners, mobile service means the work comes to your street or dock, and the shop is never far away if something bigger turns up. Many owners use mobile service for routine care all year and only bring the boat in for drive work or larger repairs.
How to book
Call or text (770) 967-8495, or send the form with the address or marina, how the boat is kept, and what is wrong. Photos help. We will confirm the work can be done there and set a time.
