About Litchfield County Marine

Welcome to Litchfield County Marine — your trusted hometown shop for full-service of both boats and cars.

We’re a small, local team based right here in Bethlehem, Connecticut at 145 Flanders Road. After over a decade serving the community from our Morris location, we made the move just down the road — but the heart of the business hasn’t changed one bit. Around here, it’s still about honest work, fair prices, and taking care of people the way we’d want to be treated.

At Litchfield County Marine, we do it all — from boat repairs, winterization, wrapping, and storage to full-service auto repair for cars and trucks. If it’s got an engine (or even if it doesn’t), we’ll get it fixed, running, and ready to go.

PJ Zarrella has been running this shop for over 10 years, building a reputation you can actually trust — not just because he says so, but because the community says so. Before Litchfield County Marine, PJ owned several successful auto shops, and he’s spent a lifetime earning a living the old-fashioned way: doing good work and standing behind it.

Today, PJ is still hands-on in the shop every day, alongside Mary, who keeps things running smoothly, and Steve (2.0), one of the best mechanics around (and a guy everyone knows). We’re a small team, but we’ve got a big heart — and a loyal group of customers who feel like family.

Our customers are the lake folks, the farmers, the horse people, the everyday neighbors who keep this corner of Connecticut alive and kicking. A lot of people drive past other shops to come see us — and we don’t take that lightly. Whether it’s lake boat pick-up and drop-off, seasonal storage, a winter wrap, or keeping your daily driver running right, we’ve got you covered.

Around here, trust matters. And when you leave your boat, car or truck with us, it’s not just business — it’s personal.
