Bill Markey’s Marine Service

I can live with expensive so long as the customer service is stellar. Markey’s is very expensive, but neither the work or the customer service comes close to being satisfactory.
My boat was in 3 times for the same thing over a 3 week period. Even though Andy (owner) was made aware of this, I was given no consideration.
The same Optima battery they sell for $ 370+tax (uninstalled) is available online, delivered to your door step, with tax, shipping and warranty for $ 218.
I don’t mind paying more to support my local bricks and mortar businesses, but I’m not going to tolerate being ripped off.
I’m through with Markey’s.

During a recent trip to Key Largo, we needed a part for our Honda boat motor. Markey’s does not service or sell Hondas, however, they went out of their way to attempt to help us. Other shops in town instantly turned us away once we mentioned Honda; not Markey’s. Good people.

I went here twice and the service was not all that good. In my opinion their Prices are very expensive and required me to keep returning the boat only to get charged more. People warned me about their prices. This place is like most service places in the keys long wait, poor service, and expensive.

Drop it off or do it yourself, they have the people, the parts and the advice you need.
Seriously, if you are a do-​it-​yourselfer, or if they are too booked to accept your vehicle right now, they will still take the time to give you some ideas of where to to start looking in order to fix it.
They are real nice, real knowledgable and real professional.
The trifecto.

I brought my boat here twice and both times they impressed me.
First time was just a normal service, cleaning the injector, flush the fluids, some maintains to the trim tabs. With a full lot of boat to work on, they got my boat done in less than a week and fairly priced.
The second time is what made me a fan. The lower unit of my motor had a slight issue with the ocean floor (Everyone misreads the water once or twice). Instead of ordering a new housing like I was willing to, they found a used but damn near perfect one, cutting the price by half, also cutting their profit greatly.
The main reason to come here is simple, this guys are boaters, they understand what you are going through when your boat is down and try to help the best they can.
