So last week I call this mobile marine mechanic cause I was wavering over fixing a couple things myself or having it done. I didn't really like the guy on the phone and to be polite I just told him that I would call him back if I wanted him to come out, I didn't call him back.



He shows up this morning and starts pulling **** off the engine, doesn't knock on the door first, just starts wrenching on the engine. So Amy tells him it's fixed and not to **** with it and the guy gets all pissed off and says he won't come back out and all this ****.



Hell even if I wanted to have him look at it, I would have told him to get lost cause I didn't tell him to come out there and he didn't even knock on the ******* door to make sure it was ok to start work, he just starts pulling **** off the engine.



I am hoping to **** he didn't sabotage it in some way, wouldn't suprise me with that kind of guy. He knew he couldn't charge me anything cause I never called him back and never gave him permission to work on the boat, i am just hoping he didn't get pissed to the extent to **** me, he didn't even button the cover back down he just threw it on and drove off.

Is he listed with the BBB? That'd be where I start.

The dude is a total dick, I got a bad vibe from him on the phone, so i was trying to be polilte when I said I would check my schedule and get back to him. When I told him I needed to check my schedule, he goes "well thursday will have to work or you are going to need to find someone else"... well I did, i bought a manual and did the work myself!!!!

These sorts of misunderstandings are often best remedied with hired thugs and a length of rubber hose.

I wouldn't doubt it if he sabotaged the engine in a vain attempt to score work off you..
