    BEWARE!!!

    Just a word of advice, be cautious if you live in North MS and need a insurance estimate. I took my boat to Preformance Marine in Columbus MS to have a estimate wrote. I arrived at 1:30 and they viewed my boat and checked compression on the the engine and spent a total of 30-45 minutes tops. They wrote the estimate and faxed to my insurance agent and adivsed me to leave my boat because the insurance adjuster would probably need to see it. So i left the boat with them overnight and the next day the insurance agent called and said my boat was totaled and we settled with a amount and i kept the boat. I called Will ( the owner of the business) and informed him of the situation and told him i would be coming to get my boat. He said then that i would have to pay to get it. I told him i would be happy to pay him a hour labor rate and he said that he was to recieve 10% of the adjusted amout of the insurance claim. I have never heard of this before. He was tryin to sell me a boat at his shop and was not happy that i didn't buy at this time. I don't think 426 dollars is fair for a hour of his time and a estimate. However i payed him because if he can live with it so can i. Just be prepared if you deal with him this is how he operates. I would have thought that a RANGER boat dealer with 20 years of business would have not acted this way. It has cost him one customer and i will make sure i inform my fellow fishing friends to do business somewhere else.

    Don't think what he did was legal.

    I would also lodge a complaint with the BBB. You can do it online!

    lay down with snakes, you'll usually wind up bit...

    let's just say that something like that is not an isolated incident. I don't even slow down on Gardner...

    gjudkins i'm waiting for my agent to return from vacation and i'm gonna see if anything can be done about preventing this from happening to other insurance customers. If nothing else maybe inform other insurance companies from sending customers there...

    I don't believe I would have been paying him anything without the cops or an attorney present. Screw that guy...

    Like a restraunt manager told me one time after horrible service and crappy food.

    "if you have a good experience you might tell a few people, but if you have a bad one then you'll tell everybody"
