beware for jet ski repair

Cannot recommend service at Korey's Repair Service in Breaux Bridge. Had my jet ski for two weeks before he even looked at it. Kept it for another three weeks before he finished routine repairs. Initially told me that it would be 'at least a week'. Brought it home, removed the cover and found a dime sized hole on the nose of my jet ski. The crack goes down to the fiberglass on the top of the nose. I assume that he hit something when he took my jet ski on the water twice during the five weeks he had it.

Routine repairs

Man I hate to hear about things like that's . I've been in your shoes before . If you were to bring it back I'm sure they would say that the hole was already there .
I'm not mechanically inclined in the least but have learned a few things over the years . One thing is I will be doing anything routine to my boat or vehicle , just because of people like that . I rarely get anyone to change the oil in any of my vehicles . And the last time that happened , they cross threaded the oil plug in my wife's car . That was done at Walmart . So in my opinion get you a small tool kit and do the basic stuff yourself . There's all kinds of do it yourself stuff on YouTube for jet skis , boats and automobiles . I just replaced the wear ring on my wife's jet ski . It was fairly simple and works really well now . I did call around and everyone wanted in the 4 to 600 dollar range to fix it . The part cost me $35.00 . We did have to wait 3 days for the wear ring to come in the mail .

Its getting harder and harder to find honest , knowledgable people to work on your automobiles , four wheelers , jets skis , etc ... If you at least try to work on these things yourself you'll find it's not as complicated as you would think . It has saved me a lot of head ache and money over the years .
