"Good communication, thoughtful problem-solving, skillful and careful work. Thank you Toby, Julian and the team."

"Toby and the team provided prompt, full, professional service. We are new to the Manly area and were recommended by a marina. The hydraulic power steering on our 40-foot game boat needed attention. Hoses, seals, et cetera, all fixed just in time for our getaway, whilst providing a comprehensive condition report and detailed invoice. Thanks, Toby."

"From the moment I called Toby, they came down to the yacht, made a plan, made all the appointments. We received updates every day the work was going on. We can't speak highly enough for their knowledge and professionalism throughout the job. I would recommend them to anyone."

"Had Toby and Jules to diagnose a generator issue. Great gents to work with. Respectful and most importantly, easy to deal with."

"Very professional service and great customer communication. Highly recommend HDS."

"HDS looked after two boats of mine. Toby and the team have always been responsive, proactive and effective. Rare in the marine support industry."

"Toby and his team provided me with first-class service and assisted me with such minor issues. Can recommend his business and definitely be using them again."

"On time, clean, neat, respectful. Ticks all the boxes for me. No hesitation to refer to others."

"Toby's the man. He just did a full service on my Caterpillar. He was efficient, cost-effective. Highly recommend these guys for all and any diesel repairs on your boat."

"Highly recommend Toby and Julian from HDS. Prompt response to quote and very professional approach to the service of our Cummins diesels. If you're looking for reliable, professional service, give HDS a call."

"I requested Toby's assistance with an annual service and some preventative maintenance on my Volvo D2-55, including installation of a stainless steel exhaust elbow. Because of Toby's knowledge and work efficiency, I now have an engine that should give me another 10 years of trouble-free boating. He works quickly and effectively, saving money. I felt like I was saving money on the hourly rate because I wasn't paying him to work it out. He knew the issue straight away and, by the way, I compared his hourly rate to Boat Works and Gold Coast City Marina. Toby is cheaper and he calls you back and arrives when he says he will. Very happy."

"Toby is responsive, proactive, and has real problem-solving skills. Completely trustworthy, easy to deal with, always returns calls and messages. I can also highly recommend Toby's workmanship. Very happy to have found him."

"I found Toby to be excellent to talk to. His knowledge is exceptional and I highly recommend him to anyone else with twin turbo diesels in their boat."

"Great service, good communication with no BS."

"Above and beyond when no one else would help. He came out to my boat and helped even on a Saturday. Responsibly priced, approachable, and a professional."

"I had Toby do a service on my Riviera 4400. He did a very good job and his rates are very reasonable. I've been in the marine industry for over 30 years. I highly recommend Toby and his business, HDS."

"Toby's very pleasant to deal with from our initial meeting to discussing servicing my 90 horsepower Yanmar and carrying out the work. Prompt response and was available in a reasonable timeframe, which is hard to say these days. Quality workmanship, went out of his way sourcing parts for an old motor and great advice as I purchased my vessel. Will keep going back and definitely recommend HDS for marine diesel engines."

"HDS provided wonderful service on my Simitar Catamaran Yanmars. I highly recommend them for the prompt, professional and friendly service."

"After painstaking efforts to find a marine mechanic on the Gold Coast that not only calls you back, quotes reasonable rates and turns up when they say they will, but is also willing to work on 3208 Caterpillars and able to be booked in within six months, it was a huge relief to come across Toby at HDS. I can't speak highly enough of the experience, communication, pricing and quality of workmanship."

"Absolute fantastic service in every way. Punctual, knowledgeable, friendly. Cannot fault their work."
