I would not recommend doing business with this place at all. Lee is the owner and I brought my Yamaha 1994 50 pro to be worked on. It had a gas leak coming from the crank seal. The reason I chose this marine shop is there was a sticker on the motor as he has serviced it before. As it turns out, he rebuilt the motor in 2004. When I brought the motor in, I told lee after doing research, and visibly seeing the leak it seemed to be the crankshaft seal. The paint was actually deteriorating in the exact spot where the leak was. When I brought it in, he looked at the motor and said he did rebuild it in 2004 and the crankshaft seal was not leaking. He said it was probably bad reeds or the seals by the reeds. I was like Ok so I left the motor. I did not hear from him for 2 weeks and called him and he said he would look at it this week.
Adain, I did not hear from him in the next week and called. He said he would get to it this week which he did. He called me back and said, "Good news. The reeds were OK and the seals were bad." I was relieved. He charged me $375 and also fixed a collar on the outboard.
I took the motor out the following week and the motor had the same gas leak. I called Lee and he said bring it in but he did not have time to do it for a few weeks so we agreed I would call him in a few weeks. In the meantime, I took the motor out 1 more time and made a video of the gas bubbling out from the crankshaft seal and then called him. He said bring it in which I did.
I brought the motor in and he said he didn't have time to look at it today and I said OK but I need it back in 1 week as I had a fishing trip planned. Monday came around, no call. Tuesday no call. Late Tuesday I happen to be driving by the shop and decided to stop in. The boat was in the same place I left it and went into the shop. Lee told me he was too busy but he would work on it tomorrow and it is a big job. I explained a second time, I needed it by the weekend. He said he would call me tomorrow. Wednesday came around and no call so I called him again. He gave the same answer and said he was too busy and would get to it tomorrow. Thursday came around no call so I called him. Lee again said he was too busy, he would get to it tomorrow. I told him that I had the fishing trip planned and he keeps giving me the same answer. He told me to come pick up my fucking boat.
I need not say anything else. This guy is condescending, unreliable, acon artist. Do not do business with this guy read more
