I found Tim's via South Texas Trader. I dropped the boat off on a Friday and he had it fixed by…read moreSaturday afternoon, even sent me a video of it running. Great, I told him I would pick it up on Monday. He was upset about that and said he needed his money due to out of pocket expenses. I brought him the money on Sunday evening and he had the boat in his yard waiting. I paid him the money,(He asked for money up front for parts, $140, which I did) owed, the balance was $440. Total of $580. His add states hourly labor at $70 and gurantees his work or labor is free. He charged me $85 and hour, but, I didn't say anything, just glad to get my boat fixed. I was not able to put the boat in the water due to work until the following weekend, it wouldn't crank...doing same thing it was doing before I brought it to Tim. I called him and no reply. I texted him and he said he was at hospital, personal stuff. He texted me the video that he sent initially of my boat running and said he would get back to me. I waited a couple of days and tried calling him, no answer, so I texted him again. He sent me a very unprofessional text back about him being busy and having more to do than mess with a boat he had already fixed. Needless to say with all of the issues, communications, money spent and boat not running, his attitude about it, like he was the victim and I was trying to get over on him when all I wanted was my boat fixed, I would highly reccommend that you don't waste your money here. He "guarantees" his work....he never even offered to look at the boat after he "fixed" it and things got ugly with the back and forth about the boat. If there was a way to rate "zero stars" that would be my rating. I am out $580 and had to take the boat to a real mechanic that has a shop, a sign and didn't ask for money up front. Beware of "shade tree" mechanics. Live and learn, posting this so no one else makes the same mistake.

Great people with great service. We were fishing on Sam Rayburn and going to move to another spot…read more Turned the key, nothing. No power to the controls or motor. 12 volt power to the accessories and trim tabs. My biggest problem was the motor was down and the trim/tilt wasn't working. We were headed home the next day so I was in a bind. I got to their store around noon and told them my predicament. They started working on the boat immediately. After 2 hours of trying to diagnose an intermittent electrical problem, it turned out the Perko switch was bad internally. New switch and everything worked. And the charge was more than reasonable. Anywhere else it would have been 3 weeks and at least 3 times the cost.

This is probably the worst place to go to fix your boat. I went here because I found this place on…read morefb and thought they would do a good job for a reasonable price. They gave me a very reasonable quote, but when the job was completed. The bill was much higher than we originally discuss. They said things cost more or it took a lot longer then they thought it would. Noone even called me to let me know about the price increase.

Polite, professionals and very helpful. Great place to get your boat repaired and upholstered. 5…read morestars.
