Who was it? Theres alot of so called "mechanics" out there that aren't competant. They can't keep any repeat customers so they have to rape everyone that comes through their doors. I've known one or two like that. I'll warn people to stay away from them at all cost. I've got a ton more faith in the guys changing oil at wally world to work on my boat, than I do ina couple of self proclaimed"BOAT MECHANICS" that I've run across. You may save someone else from getting screwed by this clown. If what you said is true, then I don't see it as slander or bashing. Just fact.

There are alot of top notchmechanics in the area and on this forum. Find one you like and stick with him. Even if he cost a little more. It's well worth it. Some of the best in the area frequently answer questions and walkus through diagnosing/troubleshooting all kinds of problems on here. Saving us a ton of money and grief.

I would talk to the first guy,if I could keep my cool that is. Try notto be too confrontational!Hopefully you'll get some money back. I'd use the new guy from now on, and have him test the fuel pump in question, if you can get it. If it is good, it sounds like you have a good case for small claims court if it comes to that. I don't believe insuing people. But,$1100 is alot of money to pay someone just to get screwed. I'd probably persue that one.

No offense meant to the guys at wally world!
