Technicians Always Ready With Effective Repair Solutions

Consider our technicians at Salty Gears Marine and Automotive, LLC as your go-to marine and automotive repair solution provider in Charleston County, South Carolina.

With decades of operational expertise, our core services include a wide range of boat and automotive repairs. This includes thinking outside the norm for repair solutions sometimes. With the consistent issue of backordered or no longer available parts, thinking outside the norm to source parts is a valuable commodity lately.

When original parts aren’t available, we’ll find that aftermarket or used part to get you going. Research is part of our everyday solution to your problem. We also network with colleagues at dealerships around Charleston to help source issues and resolve issues that may be uncommon or only known by dealerships.
