My Story

Hi, I’m Jesse Cox, the owner and operator of Island Repair Service.

I’ve lived on Vancouver Island for over 25 years, and this is home. I know how important it is to have a boat that runs properly living on the west coast, and I’ve built my business around keeping people on the water without the hassle of dragging their boat into a shop.

I have completed two years of training at Vancouver Island University and have over 1,500 hours of hands-on marine mechanic experience. I take pride in honest, hard work and stand by every job I do.

As a one-man operation, when you call me, you deal directly with the mechanic showing up to your dock, driveway, or marina — no middlemen, no runaround.
