A while back someone posted a recomendation for A.J. Ziraks (pronounced ZEROX like the copier per A.J.) for repair of boat fiberglass and gelcoat on the Coastside Fishing forum. Several weeks ago Johnson and Hicks (in Santa Cruz) did a beautiful install of VHF and GPS on my Whaler, and there were some filled holes in the transom I wanted repaired.I called A.J. and he came to me and did the work in my driveway with my Lab/Doberman mix "Jalapeno" keeping him company. A.J. did a flawless job and is a true artist at smoothing and matching color. He's truly a nice guy, honest and fair in his pricing, comes to you (instead of you dragging your boat to him and waiting days for a turnaround), and his work is superb. I recomend him without reservation, and will use his service again when the need is there. His phone is (415) 686-2214, email is ivanziraks@comcast.net.
Lastly, in case anyone is wondering, he's not related to me, doesn't owe me money, and I have no interest in his business. I do however, like to see those who provide a great service get recognition and support.
