Looking for a Volvo Diesel Tech
- Thread starter abalmuth
- Start date
I’ve got no personal experience with Steve’s Marine in Amityville, or with Volvo, but I understand they are the Volvo guys for gas and diesel on Long Island.
A couple of years back we were casually looking at Regals at the NY boat show. The dealer was from the east end (North Fork), the Volvo rep. was there to answer questions and pointed out that Steve’s Marine was their Long Island company for service, parts or warranty work.

Wesco is working on my D4.
Guess Mako marine is next best but they are in Freeport, so you will pay some big travel charge.
Strongs Marine may do it, not sure, they are out east. There has to be other Diesel mechanics. Hampton watercraft?

Volvo will give all the same names.
Volvo knows that we have limited mechanics on Long Island for Volvo's and they are trying to add more.
May be time to look at CT since they can just come over on ferry.

Ah the joy of owning Volvo. Here the local dealer was so arrogant that she gave me a ration of $hit for having Tony Athens speak at the YC. She was a member of the club and thought that only her dealership should be allowed.
Would it be worth a trip across the sound?

I window how hard they are looking. My mechanic
(located in Port Jeff) tried to become a Volvo-certified location. According to him, Volvo was not very interested in large part because he is not directly on the water. If that really is a requirement, that's a pretty darn hard thing to overcome on Long Island, especially on the North Shore. He's already Yanmar certified.

I doubt that is a requirement. Volvo used to be sold by Great South Marine on 25 in St. James.
They require alot of training. But most of the mechanics are mobile, so why would on the water matter.

Just double check with Mako about coming to you. I had a small problem mid season last year, I could not start the starboard motor. After three calls, was told I need to bring the boat to them. I have heard good things about them though.
