Diesel Don 256-259-7728
A couple of years ago I
met Diesel Don. He had been recommended to a
friend as a great diesel mechanic that would travel. As it turned out,
we went along with my friend to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida to pick up his
recently purchased 53' Hatteras. It was so wonderful to go on a yacht
delivery with a person that knew a diesel engine inside and out. Not
only that, but he was able to repair air conditioners, heads and many
other systems on that boat.
When we got to Ft. Lauderale, we took a little sea trial. It turned out
that the starbord engine lost a fuel injector. When we got back to the
pier, Don went down into the engine room and came out in a few minutes
with the bad injector. Within a few hours we had a new one installed
and were on our way home with the boat.
I have come to the conclusion that Diesel Don is the most versitle
mechanic within the North Alabama area. He brings his 44' trailor/shop
with him and spends a week at a marina working on boats. In is
trailor/shop he has parts cleaners, hose makers, filters, oil and
everything that he needs to repair boats. If there is something that he
does not have he has a resource to get it usually within 24 hrs. He is
also proficient at repairing gasoline engines.
If you are on a trip, he will travel reasonable distances to take care
of your issue. Last summer, he went to Vicksburg, Mississippi to
install a new transmission for Jim Longshore in his 44' Carver. There
is nothing more comforting then knowing who is doing the emergency
repairs on your boat.
Diesel Don also specializes in pre-purchase mechanical engine surveys,
including engine oil analysis. This survey gives the buyer confidence
that nothing major is wrong with the engine. If you need boat repairs,
Diesel Don is the man for the job. You can contact him at 256-259-7728
on his cell phone.
