First of all, don't lie to me about your backlog from the beginning. I was told it was about 2 weeks. When I question the progress "three" weeks later I was told their back log was 4-6 weeks. Did you lie to me just so I would bring it there? Then I called on the 5th of July and the mechanic had started on it before the 4th, but wouldn't be back until Saturday. Here it is a week later, once again I make my weekly call, the guy has to "check" on it.
Really. You have to check. The whole shop is not more than 4000 sq ft., including the office. Open the door to the shop and ask.
Now when they finally call back 30 mins later, the boats from "my week" will be in the shop next week. When I questioned about them already starting it before the 4th, oh I must have had you confused with another boat. No you knew exactly the boat, and when I reminded him of our conversation, let us sort this out and call you back. Yeah, sort it out just means get your lies straight.
Yea that happens all the time unfortunately......

I leave it up to them to decide if they want me as a customer. My next question would be explaining the deal to the manager and askin, "How are yall gonna make this up to me?" He'll either give you a break on the service or look at you like your askin him to make your mortgage payment. That tells me everything I need to know about the place and the decision I made to go there....

Best of luck with it bro......
