I have always had doubts about mechanics . I wish I knew all the shops I shouldn't go to. If anyone got ripped off any where , Please post a review so we can all be warned. Here is my contribution. It's really hard when A mechanic is telling you need all these things and then you find out you didn't and Infact they never even did the work. They just claimed it. Don't feel dumb . It's not our fault. People take advantages because our lack of knowledge .So pay close attention . This started yesterday. We took our boat in because it wouldn't go in reverse. This shop said they needed time to check it out. We left it there. came back a few hours later. The mechanic came out , he said he had to do a tune up and replace a bunch of parts. I never asked them to do anything. I stood there as they showed me it turned on exc... 400.00 later. !!! I really couldn't find a way not to pay. I never asked for the work but they said I didn't tell them not too either. I paid it , took it home. This morning . Woke up excited . Got ready , the boat wouldn't turn on. Come to find out they didn't replace any parts , and they didn't do a tune up. Infact the boat doesn't run at all. I'm out of 400.00, plus a new battery for 120.00 (they recommended I needed.) Why are these stories so common? Why are some mechanics so shady!!! My boat doesn't run at all now. My family was expecting a nice day at the lake with this heat . Now we are just sitting here sad. No money , no boat. This place pretty much ruined our summer. read more
