Important Things to Know About Boat Repairs
Select a Facility
The first step when obtaining your ship fixed is to discover a facility which best fits your boat's requirements and your budget. Ask around your local angling community, whether sailing friends or members within your marina, and hopefully you will be given quite a few recommendations. From there, call some of the shops for a preliminary estimate and timeline. You might also do extra research on the web. Consider the testimonials and check to see if they're a certified marine mechanic. If you need engine work, make sure they are certified by your particular manufacturer. From there, you need to have sufficient information to decide on a facility which will provide your boat with a quality repair and at an agreeable price.
---------------
Review the Warranty
Request the mechanic if they are going to cover your repair under a guarantee. If there is a warranty, request the specifics and its duration. Then make sure to make the guarantee in writing to document their guarantee.
---------------
Have Proof
Always take before and after images of your craft. If a scratch appears on your boat after the repair is completed, you will have proof.
Make sure that you carefully inspect the ship before you pay the invoice.
---------------
Read the Invoice
Read the invoice top-to-bottom! Ensure you are being charged the appropriate amount. If something appears incorrect or inconsistent with the quote, address it with the shop before paying. Hand over payment when, and only when, you have reviewed and accepted the bill.
---------------
Maintenance!
Follow all the proper maintenance tips and checklists, while it's winterizing your boat or preparing to your spring launch. Keeping your boat in tip-top shape will keep you out of the mechanic.
