Crestliner Update

Put it in the shop on 4/25 and now it's 5/6 (11 days) and I haven't heard a word on my estimate. So I call them.

Me- "What's the status on my estimate?"
Girl - "Hold please."
Girl - "Sir, hopefully we'll get to crack it open next week and get an estimate going."
Me- "Yall open tomorrow?"
Girl - "Yes."
Me- "Good. I'm coming to get it if you can't commit to an estimate by Monday."
Girl- "Hold please."
Girl- "Sir, we'll have you an estimate by Monday."
Me- "Thanks."

So I guess I'll get a speedy estimate, but then they'll probably take 3 months to actually do the workDoh

Took that long just to get an estimate? GOOD GRIEF man. Tell them they got 2 weeks to fix it or you're going somewhere else. Bring it to jackson, we got a few places down here that are good. I can do any Fiberglass werk ya need. LOL

I took it there (Tri-County Marine) because several people said this guy (Mike Jones) is the best around. I'm not doubting HIM, but this is taking way too long. Think I'm going to pay a suprise visit tomorrow. If it hasn't moved, it will be moving about 70 to Ed's prop shop

What? You didn't know that Mike Jones posts on this board? You may recognize his handle.......Minnerman. I think he's just jacking with you for sport.

Yea, if it's taking this long for an estimate, no telling how long it will be before they start working on it. That Sucks.

"G"

What about the welding and repair work to the bottom of the boat? They did not look at anything ......when you told them you wanted a estimate they just priced the high way.....changing out the housing etc. Go get your boat and get it out of there......they are jacking you around for sure. But where ever you take it.....this is the season for them and everybody is covered up and has plenty of work waiting.....so yeh.....where ever....it will be awhile before you get your boat back.
