Boat Service & Repair

[She's Mine]

Let's just say, last year I was on a buddy's boat and we had problems. I called very well know techs and they have very vague answers. These are people I know as well. Never got a straight answer on where to start. I was at Teague one day and told the situation to Josh and he said it is this. Went to the back and came out 30 seconds later with the small part. Took me 45 minutes to install and I was done. I called all around Havasu and couldn't get an answer...

Another story... Building my current motor I went to a well know shop in HB and had them work on the motor. For 4 months they tuned and told my what needs to be fixed. Paid them 3 times to do the same job and never was done right. Told Dustin at Menace the problem and he said bring it up and he'll look at it. Got a call the next day with a list of things the shop in HB missed.. Loose distributor, fuel spike in the tune, kill switch shorting out... These are things I paid thousand of dollars to the shop in HB to have fixed and not to worry about and Dustin was able to fix them at a fraction of the cost and the first time.

You want a great mechanic? Go to a shop that stands behind their work, has integrity and great customer service. I know of 2 shops that provide this and they are both in Valencia... Teague Custom Marine and Menace Marine. Anyone else is a waste of your time and money!

That's one hell of a statement!

I agree with the first part, and think Teague and the smaller shops have much better customer service then shops in Havasu (excluding BCM). Used to use a shop in Havasu (where the boat is stored). One year I had gel work done and used WOT Marine in Carlsbad. They found stuff that the Havasu shop never even identified as an issue and showed me the parts they replaced and why they needed to be replaced. Ever since that day, I now trailer the boat back to Carlsbad to have them work on it. Through great customer service and honest answers Teague and WOT have earned my business for years to come.

That's interesting. According to She's Mine, you're wasting your time and money taking it to WOT

I spent $250 at Rick King Engineering plus $20 in gas (to Chino) to repair my blower 2 months ago. I did the R&R myself. Throw in another $9 for a base gasket bringing the total to $279. So all things considered, after my fuel expenses ($150) to Valencia and back (twice), Teague would've been able to R&R my blower, clean the huge mess from the failed seal, replace the seal and then toss in a base gasket all for under $129. That's astounding!

From this day forward, I will not lay a finger on my own stuff nor seek any help from anyone but Teague because I'm tired of wasting time and money.

You should do the same Bob, I know you work on your own stuff, but we've been educated here.
