Re: Fishing trip stuffed by service business
I still cant see why its triple the price to service a $40k boat compared to a $60k car. More things to check/replace on a c ar than a boat.
All they do is the engine and a few grease nipples

Yep its a ripoff here. Bloke at work bought a 2014 model Prado from NSW. Saved $10 000 from local pricing of 2013 model. Cost him $2000 to freight it here so $8000 ahead he's laughing.

Re: Fishing trip stuffed by service business
Tow bar all sorted thanks to Falcon Engineering and paid by (service business)
A chat to the GM that is on the forum and had read about it before i went in helped out.
Also paying for one to get fixed and refunding the cost of the new one is a decent thing for missing a few days fishing whilst on holidays so i wont hold a grudge.
(ring me to get T-Shirt size and new address )
Special thanks to all the guys on the forum who offered to help and advice and PMed with there work places or own time that could help out.
(your what makes this forum a good place)
Thanks all

Re: Fishing trip stuffed by service business
You can name the big gas plant, but not the car dealership?
service in darwin is pretty bad accross the board, no matter who you deal with.
my mate recently boughtbthe same boat and motor combomfrom brisbane for a 13000 dollar saving. Buinesses up here are taking the p..s. I went to buy a buffet at a well known furnature shop here last year, that was twice the price of the same item, same store in adelaide. Didnt buy it and was given the freight bs excuse.
Very hard to justify buying any big ticket item in darwin, except fishing tackle, which is strangley far more competitivve than interstate. Even bl..dy petrol and diesal are dearer than katherine!
