I moved to a new Marina last July, and i was warned (after i moved) by numerous members not to have any work done by the marina, as thier mechanics etc were not up to the job and did shoddy work.
I have since found this to be true, as well as a p**s poor attitude to customer service.
I am now stuck with a mooring that doesnt expire until July.
My boat is out of water and need the stern drive servicing, (2yr gaiters replaced etc) i dont want to let these clowns anywhere near it, especially at the outragoeus price they have quoted to do it. £600?????
But the Marina will not let anyone other than them do the work.
Having gone in and had a face to face with the owner brought me no joy, the price quoted stands, he did say if it works out less than that they would reduce accordingly. (Of course this is hard to believe as thay have already tried to invioce me for work they have not done, so i think they are just out to rip me off.)
So i guess i will have to wait and not have the stern drive done and find a new marina in July and get the work done elsewhere, and just hope the gaiter hold until then.
I have cancelled all further works they were supposed to be doing (antifoul etc) and will do them myself.
Its just so annoying the location is perfect for us, but i cant stay there as i really think they are a bunch of crooks!
I really wish i could name and shame, but i am sure they guy would find a way to get some money out of me for naming them
