the shop messed up. who should pay?
Happy 4th of July. For the first time in almost 20 years, I will not
be on the Charles River in Boston to see the fireworks. My boat is in the shop. Here is what happened. Several weeks ago, while I was putting around the harbor, the engine started sucking in salt water. I got towed in and had my mechanic/shop, which I have used since I owned the boat, look at the boat right away. Compression check revealed all cylinders were OK. They hauled the 1993 25ft four winns out and cleaned out the gunk. 2 weeks later, the told me I needed to replace both the risers and manifolds. Which they did. They tested the boat yesterday to discover that they had been wrong. it was not the risers or manifolds and now we are back at square one. My question is: What does the boat owner pay for and what does the shop have to eat in this situation. Should I pay for the new risers and manifolds? The mechanic says they can put the old ones back. This boat is old and we do not want to put more money into it than we have to. Keeping in mind that we are not able to do any of the work ourselves, what would you do? |
