Big Art and son replaced bearings and seals on my trailer earlier this year. They did a great job. I believe he does work on boats as well. You will have to txt him and request an appt.

Big Art & Son saved the day when I was in a complete mess. I knew that when I made the call that I was not only receiving a professional service I was being treated more like family than a customer. Art showed up when he said he was going to be there and treated my trailer like it was his personally owned one...We all have options when we need help and Big Art & Son definitely put on the Superman cape..If I could leave 10+ stars for excellence I would..

Big Art and his son saved the day for us. We had our 22' boat on a tandem axle trailer when a hub fractured and ate up the bearings on one wheel. We limped home on 3 wheels but needed a new hub and bearings before we could get the boat back to the harbor and in its slip. Fast, reliable and reasonable price for coming all the way to Aptos.

Words can't really describe my gratitude for Art and his son and what they do for their clients, all done at your driveway. I have a 98 Malibu direct drive that had been sitting for 10 years, begging to be resurrected from death. Art and his son put the trailer back together with all the latest gear for a perfect trailering experience, i.e. a disc brake conversion and updated acctuator. When I mean resurrection, I mean like literally. And on Easter Sunday to make it more fitting. Art got the boat started and running strong again, and making sure the steering and Prop shaft was up to snuff. On top of good service, he gives good advice on what to do to keep your boat alive and well. Look no further if you want next level service and boat support.

A review that is way over due . I called Art about 2 years ago to add brakes and new bearing buddies to my boat trailer . He fitted me into his work schedule and did an amazing job . New rotors , calipers , brakes , bearing buddies and actuator .
2 years later I took my trailer to a local tire shop to replace my tires. Tire shop stripped out 4 out of 5 wheel studs . Tire shop had nothing but excuses so they wouldn't have to fix it .
Leaving for a family vacation few days after that mess at tire shop , I didn't know where else to go , so I called Art and he was here the next day . Took the old studs out that were stripped and replaced the rotor itself with new studs .
This will be your trailer guy for life . Very responsive and dependable .
As long as I have my boat , Art will be my trailer maintenance person yearly .
Thank you ArtHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - John N.ID, ID6912May 30, 2023
Art hooked me up big time and helped me out on short notice to do a boat service. I contacted him and he was prompt and was able to pencil me in just a few days later. I was in a different state so it was great that he was able to send photos, videos, and messages as he was going through my boat with any updates. He also gave me tips for our upcoming season in the boat to keep it tip top.
Thanks Big Art & Sons. We will be back!!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1 - Barb W.Saratoga, CA1147Jun 21, 2023
Art has provided service for my boat and trailer for a number of years. He is easy to schedule, dependable, and very knowledgeable. Also, it is so very refreshing to find an HONEST mechanic! And Art is great! When he encountered a very difficult problem that took longer than expected, he did not charge me extra - he just kept at it until it was solved. I tried to pay him a little additional for the hours he worked, but he would not accept it. Also, he provides ongoing on going on the proper use and storage of my boat.

Excellent and quick communication. Was able to figure out details of the service needs and trusted their recommendations for our pontoon and trailer. Pricing was fair and the ability to have them come out the your home is amazing. I have already recommended them to my brother and he plans to use them as well. Highly recommended!

I was on my way home after a successful fishing day when my bearing decided to take a dump. I was stuck and didn't know how to fix the trailer. I gave Art a call and he was able to figure out the issue and come out a few hours later to fix it. That's what I call service! Thanks Art for saving my day!
