Find Trusted Marine Mechanics and Boat Service Centers in Chicago
 
Boat owners in Chicago and along Lake Michigan rely on qualified marine mechanics and service yards to maintain engines, electrical systems, hull components, and onboard equipment. With Chicago’s short boating season and winter storage cycle, having access to reliable repair facilities is essential.

Great River & Lakes Marine Surveying Co. created this resource page to help Chicago boat owners quickly locate reputable marine mechanics, boatyards, and service centers. Once repairs are completed, we also provide professional marine surveys to document vessel condition for insurance, resale, and financing.
