Many are on the edge and service is suffering. Just a bad time and place

That's the problem... You can't worry about repeat customers when you're on the verge of locking your doors at the end of the month... They might be screwing themselves in the long run, but it seems that some are being a bit unscrupulous to stay afloat.

I don't agree with it, but it does seem to be the case.

especially w/ the puter age & the ease of exposure, nut'n like shoot'n yo-self in the azz!!:(

Going to be a while before it get's any better too.

I think a good portion of the marine service industry once worked as carnival hucksters or door to door cancer insurance salesmen.

ed

based on MANY of my own BAD experiences I believe U may B B'n kind!!!!

Service is where the money is right now, not sales, so everything is being put towards fixing, selling parts and hauling boats and watercraft!! And trust me if you have a good marine business with a good rep you are busy right now!

It's not only you....
 

Here's a response I got from a worldly business man that tries to defend service from a well established performance vendor.

Could give two phucko's... The sale was lost and will continue if adjustments aren't made in this small corner of bizz.

Go ahead and purchase from Trick and companies like him then, you must feel good about a guy writing your order down on a napkin. I will go with a company that has history and credability with delivering parts. Bam is tops in the business, ask around, don't take my word for it. He has gotten me parts that no one else was able to find. Just because you can not use a computer does not make them bad. :party-smiley-004:

There are a lot of crooks in this business but there are also great guys.Chased a problem all weekend and Monday the marina next to mine helped me out took a couple of hours and about five runs but he fixed it.I folded up a 100 dollar bill and handed it to him as a tip.He just put it in his pocked then calls me latter and tells me he had no idea it was a 100 and that it was not nessacary.I felt it was he did not have to help me on Memorial day.They are great guys and always give me great prices on parts as I do a lot of work myself but you can bet he gets all of my business from now on.

Bill, I agree. We don't do sales & We never got to the point where we were slow in the last 2 years or so. Things were just a little less hectic during those times...

BUT... This year is busier & looks to be continuing upward.. However some of the places I know of that are relying on sales income seem to be still having a rough time in that department for many reasons.... Whether it be banks financing, or lack of product etc, etc, etc...
