Default Mercury mechanics at Atlantic highlands nj

This is for my nj friends
Does anyone know. Of a good and honest Mercury mechanic who is around the Atlantic highlands nj area? I just got ripped off from Wagners marine, $375 to bypass my oil injection and he left the oil pump gear still in .

I think it s normal to leave in internal gear in. If your going to tear down the block to get to the gear,might as well replace it and go back using the oil injection

I know you leave the gear in the block but he left the pump assembly that attaches the the gear on the outside of the block

I know they make a block off kit. But the so called mechanic bypassed the oil injection and alarm but didn't take out the mechanism that is there. 375.00 rip off. I have to find a Mercury mechanic in that area. I don't mind paying but cmon that's too effing much.

Cool

I always ask how much something is going to cost before I give the go ahead. If they can't tell me I find another contractor that can.
