What we can do for you:
Boat & RV Seasonal Maintenance
Your boat needs special maintenance attention according to what season of the year it is in California, and there are things you need to make sure you do on an annual basis to keep your vessel in top condition. If you need yearly or seasonal service or repair, please contact us for more information.
Boat, RV & Car Cleaning & Detailing
Having your boat, RV or car professionally cleaned both inside and out will help you maintain, protect and enhance the appearance and value of your boat. Polishing and waxing your boat at least twice a year, provides long lasting protection against the harmful effects of the environment, such as salt water and the ultra violet rays from the California sun. See more information about our boat detailing services.

Frequently Asked Questions
🛥️ How often do I need to have my boat serviced?
We recommend having your motor serviced and waterpump impeller changed every two years or every one hundred hours. Check your boat or engine manufacturer’s owner’s manual for exact interval requirements.
🛥️ Do I need to clean my boat after every use?
If possible, yes. Wash it down thoroughly with a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly after each outing. This is especially important if your boat is in saltwater. Saltwater can damage a boat's fiberglass surfaces if not cleaned regularly.
🛥️ Can I launch and trailer a boat by myself?
Launching and loading a boat onto a trailer takes practice. While experienced boaters may be able to launch and trailer their boats solo, we recommend new boat owners have at least one other person help them if possible. You can also use a professional boat transport service to launch and trailer your boat for you.
Unlike storing your RV outdoors, you do not need to worry about draining your plumbing system and filling it with antifreeze. Indoor storage also protects your tires, so you won’t need to cover them to protect them from weather damage.
🛥️ Should I cover my boat when I’m not using it?
Definitely. If your boat will be stored inside, a good cover will help protect it from dust and pests. If it will be stored outside, a quality cover will protect your boat from the elements.
