Not a good experience at all. I brought my terrova Ipilot in for a service repair. I explained to the front desk person that I have two problems with my TM, prop wasn't spinning well probably water intrusion and i couldn't get the remote controller to sync with the head.
The front desk tells me, "ok we we should have the unit back to you in a week, we'll call you". I thought that sounds great. A week later, you guessed no call, no big deal I call them to check the status of the repair. The front desk says yep, water in the motor and quoted me a price. I said ok what about pairing the remote? They then respond the remote wasn't written on the ticket, I'll have them check it out and call you right back. Sure enough a couple more days goes by, yep no phone call.
I call again, yep no big deal again, the front desk tells me they are waiting for me to approve the repairs.... I said Oh ok what are the repairs? They then explain to me my remote is fried, the only fix is to go blue tooth and quote me 1200 bucks. I'm thinking to myself, this remote worked the day before until I disconnected the trolling motor. I may have a unique situation here and asked could I speak with the service tech, front desk says sure I'll put him on the phone.
So I consider myself a resonable guy, I get past the poor communication on their part, and I begin to explain my unique situation regarding my remote and ask the tech are you really sure the remote is fried? The tech immediately cops an attitude on me and says "I have over 1400 repairs under my belt and it is what it is and proceeds to hang up on me. Guez the guy just hung up on me...Now I'm pissed, I call back and tell them not to touch my TM, I'm coming to get it.
I'm sue FE has some real good techs, thats what I've heard from other fishermen. However, I must have ran into a bad one. Anyway this particular tech needs to go. I'm sure FE will be a better place without this guy.
fyi. I took my TM over to Dan's South Side. They fixed the water intrusion and paired the remote no problems at all. Great Service at Dan's! I'll be taking my business to Dan's from now on! read more
