What clients say about Jonny's Speed Shop - Mobile Marina in Kalkaska (MI)
We were from out of state, in Kalkaska for a week of fishing. Had boat motor trouble, Jonny went above what we expected, had us stop by the shop, it was late. He trouble shot our issue, fixed the issue on the spot.
Would highly recommend, Jonny is very professional, personable.
PS We were able to enjoy the rest of our vacation fishing.
Called Johnny at 7pm after our outboard quit on us while fishing. Johnny answered right away and said if we would stop by he would take a look at it. After about 45 minutes Johnny had our motor up and running again. Great attitude and service, saved our remaining three days of our fishing vacation. Thank you Johnny,
Highly recommend Johnnys Speed Shop!
Found John on very short notice, had a boat that was down and we were going to miss our tournament. Not only did he take on my project but he had it done 3 days before scheduled. If I could give more stars I would. Saved our fishing trip. Fast and friendly service. Nice shop, professional interaction. Will absolutely continue to do business.
Im telling you this is the best shop I have found! These guys took in my boats got 1 fixed quick! The other there working on! From the 1st call they were very respectful and knowledgeable. Very honest and very good communication. I would 10 for 10 call him! Im letting all my boat people know he's the man! (Even though I wanna keep him for my broken stuff)
Very accommodating, reliable and friendly service. Johnny quickly diagnosed the problem and even sold me his jump starter so I could use my boat until I was able to purchase the new parts. Now that’s customer service!!!!
I reached out to Jon at 11pm on July 2nd to see if he could help replace a water pump on my pontoon before the holiday weekend. He was booked solid but made time in the evening to come and repair the boat. He was professional and did great work. Thank you Jon for saving our 4th!! I would highly recommend!
Closing out the previous boating season our starter was going out and not engaging properly. I had ordered the parts for a replacement, but couldn't figure out the wiring. On our way up to the lake we stopped at Jonny's Speed shop and Jon got to work on our boat while we went out to lunch. Jon added a part to the wiring we didn't have and also added a battery kill switch. Before we left, Jon made sure the boat started and ran. Excellent service and Jon was very friendly and knowledgeable Jon also showed us the process and work he did to our boat and answered any questions we had. Great guy and very communicative.
We lost a water pump on the way to Traverse City camping on Friday evening of Memorial weekend. We were 6/7 miles from Kalkaska and my road service was going to take me to the closest shop. I figured I would be dealing with it Tuesday morning after the holiday weekend. While waiting for the wrecker, I googled auto repair for Kalkaska. I thought maybe I could get lucky and find a place open in the morning. I found Johnny's and it said 24/7 repair (I thought, yeah sure). I call and Jonny picks up. His words were if he can get the parts, he would get it done. Long story short, I had friends pick up my 5th wheel and wife and take them camping. I stayed behind with the hopes it would be complete as soon as possible. I made it to the campground with my truck back in order by midnight. Everybody at the campground were waiting for my call to come and get me because they all said there is no way it would be done before the END of the weekend. The price was more than fare, and Im only giving a 5 star because that is as good of a review as I can give.
Thanks again, Jonny!!!
Traveling with my family and had car troubles mid-afternoon on a Saturday. Jon made himself available and helped diagnose the problem and got it fixed right away. He had a parts store that was open where he was able find my replacement part. He was friendly, explained the issue and charged a fair price. They also have a really neat and unique entertainment room with a pool table. Within about 90 minutes, my family was back on the road to finish up our family trip! Thank you!!
You don’t find mechanics or people like Jon! He’s quick, incredibly knowledgeable, and easy to communicate and work with. He has helped me a ton with my RV project and his skills and know-how were indispensable!
Just to give you an idea of the kind of guy he is:
When my in-laws’ pontoon stopped working, Jon made time (after a long work day) to drive over and diagnose the issue. In 10 minutes, he said it was a spun prop, and told them everything they needed to know about that and how to fix it. They insisted he take their money, and Jon literally tried to give the money to one of the kids, saying “buy pizza with it.” Dude is a legend!!!!!

We took our Ford F150 truck to Jonny. Another mechanic had thought we needed a new alternator. Jonny quickly diagnosed that it was not the alternator but rather a problem with a protective plate underneath the vehicle. It took him only 15 minutes to fix it and the grinding noise was gone. We were relieved that we did not need to buy a new alternator. Jonny was courteous, professional and we recommended him to another family member who was also pleased with the work he did for him.
Jonny helped us out in a pinch, and was a pleasure to deal with! We had bought a new to us boat and it quit on us waaaay out in Lake Michigan. Jon came and helped us get it back to the dock, then brought it back to his premier service center and had us back on the water before the end of the holiday! Super great response time and rate! He is also quite the singer and musician! Highly recommend! Also check him out on Spotify!
Had Jonny visit my two jet skiis on old mission.
He was ontime and ready to go. Two oil changes and gaskets later and skiis ready to go. Jon explained every step in processes used.
Extremely neat and intentional in his work.
Will ask his help in future for keeping skiis in great shape.
One of the better experiences I've had with a mechanic. My windows were stuck down on my passenger side and this place was the only one open so I called him up and was able to drop it off right then and he had them up within 2 hours. He even dropped my car off to me. Highly recommend.
Jon replaced both impellers in my boat. These impellers are at the bottom of the engines and normally would require a weeks worth of work to remove engines to make access. Jon managed to squeeze in the terribly tight areas required to get the job done without removing the engines. Quality workmanship, great turn around time, clean neat facility, clear communication above and beyond, brought to my attention other issues and preventative maintenance. This was an overall great experience in a tough scenario where nobody else could or would help. 10/10
