What We Do

Services built around
what actually breaks

Whether your outboard is acting funny or your truck won't start, we diagnose it straight and fix it right the first time.

Engine Diagnostics

Modern engines talk to us — we just know how to listen. We'll pull codes, trace the problem, and tell you exactly what's wrong before we touch a wrench.

Marine Engine Repair

Outboards, inboards, sterndrives — we've seen them all. From routine tune-ups to full rebuilds, we keep your boat on the water and running clean.

Auto Repair & Maintenance

Brakes, suspension, oil changes, cooling systems — if it has wheels and an engine, we can look after it. Stop by and we'll take a look.

Hull & Fiberglass Work

Cracks, blisters, gelcoat scratches — we repair hull damage so your boat stays watertight and looks good coming back into the dock.

Seasonal Prep & Storage

Spring commissioning or fall lay-up — we handle winterization, fluid changes, and battery care so your rig is ready when you are.

Electrical Systems

Dead batteries, flickering gauges, wiring nightmares — we trace and fix electrical gremlins on both boats and vehicles without the guesswork.

About Us

Built on a handshake
and a well-turned bolt

J&J Boat Works sits right off East State Road 250 in Canaan, and we've been keeping folks' boats and trucks running ever since. We started as a small marine shop and grew into full auto and boat service because that's what our neighbors needed — and we're not about to turn anyone away.

What you'll get here is straightforward: we'll look at your problem, explain what we think is going on, give you a fair price before we start, and do the work like we'd do it for our own rig. No pressure, no upselling, no jargon that means nothing.
