Motor was running alittle rough, so I took it to the repair shop. Replaced a couple of things....350.00 later guy tells me the motor runs great! Get to lake... runs worse than when I took it in. Took back to repair shop and "fixes" couple of other things for 195.00. Take back to lake and unbelievably the motor runs even worse!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really want a refund for the whole deal. We are replacing a number of different parts, but we have never fixed the initial problem that I reported to the mechanic.
Do these guys normally give refunds? I cetainly think that I am entitled to some sort of relief. What do you guys think? Any advise is appreciated.

Forgot to mention, but I am looking for boat motor repair. Is there anyone good in the Eagle Mountain Lake area? At this point though, I really don't have any cash for the repair. Any good references would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Some one asked if his name started with an "A". I was wondering if that was A as in A..... hole?
Got boat back today, but won't be able to give it a go until next week. Mechanic assured me that it is runnin like a scalded ape... we'll see...
I still feel like I got corn-holed on the deal. I am still looking for a good mechanic around Eagle Mountian Lake. Qualities would be honest and reasonable on the price. Any referrals appreciated.

I had a similar experience last year with a mechanic here on CC Lake. Needless to say, I dont use him anymore. I doubt you'll get any kind of money back. I have heard good things about North Tx fiberglass. Try them next time you need something.

Use either Mark Gunter, OPTI or Mike at No.Texas! ALL 3 are honest & good techs!
Keep your powder dry & don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes!!

Correction guys, North Texas Fiberglass, not North Texas Marine.
CBC, don't go there please.
