I found Tim's via South Texas Trader. I dropped the boat off on a Friday and he had it fixed by Saturday 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. read more
