Franco Marine

Tony is awesome. I do most of the basic engine maintenance on my universal diesel myself. When something comes along that's beyond me, Tony is the call. He'll address the problem and help me understand what happened, and also note other things to be aware of.

Tony, aka "the magician", is a good guy! He has a great skillset. He just installed my exhaust manifold on my C36. He is the only guy I would trust to do this. Unfortunately, with his great skillset he is in demand so be patient.

I had a fantastic experience with Tony when I asked him for help servicing my Yanmar and Fischer Panda generator. Gave me great advice. He showed me how to change the impeller on the Yanmar w/o removing the alternator which is what everyone else had done in the past. That will save a ton of time when I do it myself in the future. And all in all genuinely nice guy that I will reach out to again in the future.

Tony has serviced my 36 ft. twin diesel Sea Ray since his first month in business years ago. He is completely reliable, hard working even with young family at home! He will work late to get the job done including mechanical, plumbing, battery/ electrical trouble shooting and repair. He exercises common sense and and will volunteer risk reward discussion for replacing versus repairing items. He has replaced pumps, batteries, refrigerators etc on my boat. Like any good mechanic, he is busy....

Exelent service. Highly recommend. Very professional. Tony has been helping me for several years and recommend his services.

Tony is a great guy, a proficient mechanic and a fair businessman.

He's serviced my twin diesel aft cabin trawler for the 4 years I've owned it. Very knowledgeable, helpful and answers my questions. Very clean too.

And forthcoming on how the service was, what else I should be getting done on the boat. His advice on what to do at the next haulout is very good.

Highly recommended

Franco Marine has been working on my 30' boat for the past many years. I've had many things performed from major and minor repairs such as top-end engine replacement, engine upgrades, and typical service work.

Tony's work is exceptional. He is accountable, provides quality work, and certainly pays attention to every last detail. Additionally the daily cleanliness of his ongoing and finished work is exceptional and always keeps in constant communication by providing regular updates and progress pictures.

I highly recommend Franco Marine and consider Tony a recognized expert with a high level of technical expertise.

Tony is an excellent boat mechanic. I asked him once if he is the original rubber man. He gets in and around in the boat engine rooms like I can't believe. And they are really tight some of them. I had him service my Bayliner, with two Hino diesel engines and a Westerbek diesel generator and he took care of it perfectly, clean, no mess, no leaks. I definitely recommend him and I will be using him again. He also came from San Bruno down to Redwood City to work on my boat. He also did a engine and generator inspection for me before I bought the boat and based on his recommendation I went ahead and bought the boat and his report was very accurate.

Tony has serviced my boat 2 times in the last 6 months and he has made such great (and needed) improvements. I have a 2007 46' Bavaria Cruiser, sailboat. He clearly explains the work that is needed, sends me pictures of the maintenance and what he needs to repair/replace. Very professional and always leaves my boat in a great, clean condition. Thank you, Tony for your awesome work!

Very professional. In a world of sloppy service, he was a real pleasure. On time, organized, clearly explained what he was doing and why. Got the monster diesel on my 50-foot boat purring like a kitten. I'm delighted I found him. Highly recommended.
