I paid another shop thousands to diagnose a complicated problem: sticking cylinder from bad gas/corrosion. They thought it was electrical. Jim worked on it logically and methodically until he found the problem and fixed it right. It took longer than it should have, which is the only downside to this review. I'm bringing the boat in now after an entire season and there was not one problem with a fully rebuilt engine all year. I brought it back for maintenance and he's done with it already. He coordinated a hull repair right on the spot and had an experienced hull repairman come to the shop to give me an estimate so I didn't have to drive it over there too.

Its shops like Liberty Marine that messes the economy up. (GREEDY)!!! I recommend that people call around and find out the actual Price before going with liberty marine!! Also lots of places do jobs by the job NOT the hour. but liberty LIES about the hours also..SHAME ON YOU LIBERTY MARINE.

They told that they would give me a detailed cost break down of all the repairs needed and all I needed to do was to bring my boat down and authorized up to $250 for them to go through the boat. About two hours after I dropped my boat off I received a call saying that they weren't sure what has wrong and it would be at least $700. They then informed me that my $250 was gone because they put in a new pump kit. I told them that I needed the detailed plan as promised before I authorized any more money. Two days later the owner called me and said it would be $1500 to fix my boat. I told him no way and he hung up on me. Thirty minutes later, I picked up my boat, paid the $250, and got the scratch paper they provided me explaining the problems. I then took my boat to Capitol Boat, where just after one day, they informed me that I had a cracked manifold and need an O ring. Total cost was $700 for the manifold (installed), $48 pump kit (that right precision never replaced it)and $3 for the O ring (installed). Now my boat runs great and doesn't have any problems. If you want to think you'll save money by going to the boat junk yard (precision), think again, these guys will waste your time and money by misdiagnosis of your boat. Had I left the boat with them, not only would they have charged me $1500 for unneeded repairs, and then I would have found out about my cracked manifold. Stay away from them if you like your boat.
