    Best Mercury service in Raleigh or Greenville area

    Title says it all. Who has the best service shop? Don't really care about sales, that's taken care of, but if I wanted someone to install a Pro XS properly who should I call?

    I live in the Greenville area but willing to drive to Raleigh or same distance elsewhere.

    Bass Pro shop in Raleigh has on of the best technicians anywhere. Brian Patterson is the only person that will service my motor.

    Awesome guys thanks for the heads up. Granted....still waiting for the dang motor (I bought it in March....still no delivery date....), but at least I have options for install.

    Where’d you buy? Are they shipping to you residence or to a Mercury dealer?

    All of my experiences with him have been positive. I was also told by another respected Mercury mechanics that Brian knows his stuff.
