Mercury Service
Submitted by Juneka on Thu, 2010-12-30 14:32
Is there a Mercury mechanic around Rockingham that anyone can recommend for servicing my Optimax 135hp?
I would prefer not to go back to Saltwater Marine.
Cheers
Judy

Bad experiences
I don't like to bag any business that is out there doing their best to survive in a competitive world. Others may be quite happy with Saltwater - I'm not. I am still feeling ripped off by them, 12 months after the event.
I prefer to just say that I am no fan of the way they do what they do. I guess I'm a typical Aussie - and choose to vote with my feet.
I'd like to find someone local to service my pride and joy in a thorough manner without ripping me off.

Old fart has
been going to Portside Marine since 1982, they aren't cheap but very good for services and anything else you need doing, trailer maintenance etc.
If you are CPBA member do get a discount

Portside
Thanks Roberta,
I thought they had closed down - used to be around the corner from my work in North Freo.
I will keep them in mind too.
I'll call Arthur Page first - he's around the corner from my house!
Cheers

Another vote for Arthur Page
He had a look at my outboard and diagnosed a problem for free (refused to take any money for a quick water test ) . Since then he did a service on my mates 225 honda which was half the price of his last service . A great bloke who is very honest .

Thanks for the testimonial Greasemonkey. It's good to have some positive referal!
I'm feeling better as the day goes on.
My Optimax really is due for servicing, and the thought of returning to Saltwater was depressing me somewhat!
Cheers,
Judy

Hi Judy
I can second the Portside recommendation - they're now in Yangebup, closer to your place. Always looked after me and never felt ripped off - service was very good.

Give joel roberts a ring. He is Qualified Marine Service, Mobile. He has the computer diognostic equiptment for the mercs and uses all genuine parts. He may be a little dearer than others but there are alot of things on those engine that get over looked by mechanics.
