Guys, I needed to service my outboard prior to a trip to Falcon Lake, I saw Gary Pender from Tracker Marine in Austin, advertising an impeller replacement/lower unit oil change for $99.
After pricing shops locally, I found a guy that would do it at his house, in the driveway for $250. With no type of guarantee!
I called Gary and made the appointment for this morning. I towed my boat to NW Austin, nice drive I might add. I found Gary waiting for me, they jumped on it immediately. I believe Ingred was the techs name, a small built young girl with an attitude as big as the shop! She kept me laughing while she very knowingly, took my lower unit apart for the impeller change.
I was free to go anywhere in the shop, ask questions, touch things, Gary tried to find a rim for me to match my trailer wheels, all this while being three people short.
They changed my fuel filter, (parts only , no labor).
They adjusted my hydraulic steering ( no charge).
Looked at my trim gauge ( no charge).
Well, I could go on, but I wanted to give props where props are due.
Gary and all the guys ( and Gals) over at Tracker Marine in Austin get my vote, business and referrals!
Well done Gary!!!
