REALLY!?!?!?!
 

Love it when you bring your boat in to be fixed,and you get hit with a huge *** bill and NOTING they "FIXED" works correctly. Their reply "Oh just bring it back in...we won't charge you"!! REALLY DUDE!?!?!?:pissed::pissed: I shouldn't be having this conversation with you in the "FIRST PLACE"!!!! AMAZING!!!!:pissed::pissed:

I feel ya brotha!! Who you dealing with?

ask 1fastmerc about that, yr and a half later still not runnin right

PM SENT

Lets just say they are local!! Think ima go to Texas to get my next ride!!!

BOAT = Bust-Out-Another-Thousand

Dont tell me its jerrys. Ive heard hes bad, but I have not dealt with him directly.

Yeah total Bill $587 and still fighting the bull****!!! And it's a pain in the *** and high $ to get my boat from Hackberry to Lake Charles and back!! So they can fix what they were supposed to do in the first place. When I asked the service manager to show me what cost $587 he looked me dead in the face and said (like a b@#ch) "Well....we are gonna have to take every thing apart." I said "REALLY?? Well let's get to taken it apart"!! I guess I had dumb *** written across my forehead or sumpthin!!

Man that's mechanics for ya. My guy was trying to charge me $2300 to install new lower unit. I got one from SEI for $845 and he charged me $200 to change it out. When I went pick it up he tells me he called SEI and opened up an account for his business. Said he never heard of them before. You are a mechanic dude, how do u not know that you could get one for $1k less? And the one he was gonna get me only had 1 year warranty and SEI has a 3 year warranty.

NAW, it wasn't Jerry's!!:eek::eek:

if you guys are ever in the area and need work done, he's good with motors, boats in general and wiring also...give this guy a call, real good on prices and he comes to you..i reccomend http://i880.photobucket.com/albums/a...4/IMAG0118.jpg

We need one of these around here...@ least I would know why the price was a little inflated "CUSTOMER SERVICE"!! Some folks in the service business have no clue what that is because they get comfortable!!!

i bet he still charges the 2300

U know it!!

Im hoping to be dealing with them in the near future :D

I've never had a problem with Jerry's but I'm clearly in the minority. Lake Charles Marine's service manager would never call me back. Ask for Melissa at Jerry's.

Sounds like dhp. I have had more problems with my trolling motor after I got it back from them. It's been in their shop at least 6 times for the same bs.

Never done business with Lake Charles Marine what do they service??

Heard nothing but good things about Henderson Implements in Lake Charles. Bring your rig over there.

I have worked with Melissa as well, she has always treated us well.

Sent my old Kenner there once. I was pleased with the service and speed that they fixed it. Only took a week in the middle of the summer.

i thought was the girls name at lake charles marine

Where is Lake Charles Marine located guys???:confused::confused::confused:

I think they mean Lake Area Marine.........

yeah lake area marine......that's what i meant

No comment!!

She left LAM a while back. At jerry's now.

Thanks for that info. Will check'em out. There is also a guy behind Fisherman's Hdqtrs thats been recommended. I'll try to find his name and post to this thread later.

There is lake area as well as henderson implement. Theyre down the street from Each other

man she sure was helpfull...she always took care of me when i went in there. and if something was wrong she made sure it was fixed

Definitely need more folks like her around the area!!

The guy's name is Jake @ Performance Marine in Carlyss.

2 words for ya Harold Dyke.Local and honest does good work.

Ive heard nothing but great stuff about him

Info and phone #???

What are you needing done? Is it something serious?

his name is Jake Ziegler number is 884-8209. He does good work and fast

Sounds like something Lake Area would do. They won't get any more of my business.

Sent from my Windows 7 phone using Board Express

I'm witcha!!!

No it was really nothing serious. Went in for an oil change, and told the service mgr abt some other issues i was having. I'd smoked my trolling motor plug and my trim button on plug board was sticking. Also was popping a breaker when I turned on my live well pump. So this guy commences to tell me "You have a MAJOR problem" blah blah blah. Told him 5 gal bucket handles live well,and just unplug trim and let wires hang...I got that from throttle. Well he fixes it all and doesn't give me the common courtesy of a phone call to tell me what damage thats gonna cause me. So I ask him to show me what cost me a fortune...his reply "Well we're gonna have to pull it all apart!" My reply "REALLY!?!?!" "Well lets get to taken it apart!!" Ok so the trim don't work...trolling motor plug I have to kick to make work...and I can p e e harder than that "bran new" live well pump does!! Can you say Railroaded!!

That's some chicken shat boss

Trolling motor plugs are pretty cheap depending on which ones. Trim button sticking? Is it a Merc? They are famous for sticking on the controls, razor blade trimming fixes that. Live well pump, 95% is snapping in a new head and 2 heat shrink butt connectors. I would ask to see old items that were replaced. Does not sound right. Sorry man. Hate to see stuff like this

Yeah thats what Jake said that the live well pump was a snap in snap out job an that they put it to me charging me 2.5 hours for the job. They showed me a live well pump that had oil all over it like they grabbed one outta pile. Thang is my Blue Wave is an 09...bought in dec. 09 from these very same people. I have no "oil" in or around the bilge area. Wonder how the oil got on the old pump and new pump is spotless...you would think there would be oil on the new one too...the mechanic supposedly handled both. jus sayn BTW Lake Area Marine caused this thread!!!:pissed:

No it's a Sizuk...but cleaning my boat my brush hit the trim button damaging it a lil and it would stick every once in a while....then it got stuck while I was on step and it tried to trim my motor outta the water:eek::eek:...it was time to get that fixed.

yeh that could be nasty lol you would get a nice roostertail hahaha

Sounds like the equivalent of a wheelie or a backflip attempt to me! Haha, sorry about your dealings with lake area marine capt.b
