Intercoastal Marine Marco Island Beware
INTERCOASTAL MARINE SERVICE INC. 941 WINDWARD DR. MARCO ISLAND, FL
Beware of this shop they are crooks. I have had a first hand bad experience with these actors especially Mike the owner, who is unscrupulous and a liar.
I purchased a boat from an honest person who represented the boat correctly, as it sat at this shop for new manifold risers and a few other things. My purchase was contingent upon the fact that it was gone over by a qualified shop.
Everything went smoothly for the first 20 hrs or so that season. I put the boat away for the season. Next season out on water and the coupler goes. Take it to my shop in port charlotte fl for replacement. after the engine is pulled we see that the items on the invoice from intercoastal marine service that were charged 4000 for were not done. Namely new starter and the associated costs to remove the engine to do same. The starter was so rusted it looked 10 yrs old.not only that but the engine mounts had to be cut out as they were rusted solid.
This was clear to me as well as the mechanics of 30 yrs and the sales staff at the other shop that the engine nor starter were ever removed recently.
when i called to confront Mike at Intercoastal Marine Service with the invoice copy and the obvious fraud he denied denied denied, made up every excuse in the book like I've seen this and that rust of in less than a year etc.
well needless to say there was no remedy coming from this liar.
I want everyone to be careful and stay away from Intercoastal Marine Service as they inflate bills from what should be 8 hrs for a maniflod riser swap to 35 hours by lying about parts not in plain view replaced when they are not. Engine in and out when not. etc etc
All documents and old parts have been retained for evidence until i decide to either go to the states attorney office or to refute this persons next application for a license to operate whe it comes up for annual renewal.
