Thread: Dont let them work on boat!!!

I have very good luck with Tri-County Marine. I do most of my work myself and buy all my parts from them! I have only spent money in there shop once and they fixed my problem while I waited at a very reasonable price!! They always treat me with respect and kindness. I even rode threw there parking lot yesterday on my way to castle bridge and hollered I'm going fishin. fishing bros next time you might try Mobile Marine in Bethlehem, I've known Kevin Kirby for 40 years and he is a very good boat mechanic! Just call Richey's Automotive to contact Kevin. I have been blessed by God to have a mechanical ability and worked as an auto mechanic for 35 yrs.Good luck to all and hard thumps on the lines!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eventually, I hired a lawyer to help expedite things. She made them wish they had treated me a lot better. I know of at least one other customer of theirs that got the shaft, too.

I found out a long time ago, if you have to lawyer up to get your money out of someone, find a female lawyer. My wife didn't listen to me and we're entering a fourth year of estate settlement with a male lawyer. Call me sexist, but, this is what I truly believe.

6 foot blonde hair blue eyed lady has helped me a few times. Man does it cost, but beats looking at another man all day. I don't like trouble but I did like her.

We're still talking legal trouble, aren't we, Al?!

Had to have my motor rebuilt. Took it to foothills marine in Morganton. They did a really good job on it. Good thing is my insurance paid for it.

I would like to apologize for this post. Although it is a true story, it happened a long time ago and I do not know if the Tri-County of today is even affiliated with the same folks that I dealt with. I meant no harm. brucec, Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Now that is the way to man up. It shows great character
