Fish City replaced my Mercury 150 impeller and plate at the 20 hour service without asking even though no nicks/dings or scratches - total $620.00 instead of about $300 When i asked "why" and how come they didn't call me to check and "why replacement when no damage" their service manager replied that the "technician wouldn't have replaced them unless he though they needed it" Haven't (and will never) purchase anything else from them again but have to let them do service as only dealer close-ish. |
