Some kind words from our customers

When I needed help getting my raw water pump apart, I brought it to the Chandlery and Kurt M. took it apart for me within an hour. They were so helpful to just a walk-in customer.

"Thanks for the warm welcome and your keen eye on issues large and small. We had a great time and enjoyed being in your very competent hands."

We hauled out for bottom paint and noticed our keel seam needed repair. BMC did it within a few days and it was beautiful.

"Driving our Choate 27 from Coyote Point is a bit of a haul, but well worth the service from all at BMC."

I want to extend our sincere gratitude for your time and generosity in the repair of our Emeryville Rescue Boat this week. It is support from the community such as this that allows the Alameda County Fire Department to meet their Mission and provide superior service to the Communities we serve.

Just wanted to take a moment to thank you again for the great work on Her Majesty. Please also pass on our gratitude to Steve for the quality wood work.
