Good Morning Everyone:

Can anyone advise of a good local shop to get my engine serviced (just a routine maintenance, i.e. change the foot oil, lube, filter, etc). It's probably something I could possibly do, but A.) I haven't ever done it myself and B.) I like someone who is around boat motors a lot more than me to check it out in case I'm missing something.

I'd like to hit more of a Mom and Pops type of shop if possible.

Thanks.

Mikes Marine in Panecea is a mom and pop operation, and a good one at that.

I use Sunshine in Tallahassee

Porter Marine in Woodville is a Pop and sons operation.

Funny, you come from perry to get your boat serviced in tally. I drive from tally to have my boat serviced in Perry( where I bought the boat). Maybe we should work something out
