I just got to the 20 hour point on my 05 and called to get an "appointment" for service. I was shocked to find out the dealer doesn't take apointments and would only guarantee that the boat would be done in 2 weeks on a first come first serve basis.
I have obviously been very spoiled as I owned a used I/O for 7 years and never had it into the shop. Did maintenance myself and never had any serviceable problems. The dealer that I bought the new Moomba from says they haven't taken any apointments for years. I can understand that they might want a 3 day window to get the work done and that parts might delay the process but 2 weeks? They said that if they didn't get to the boat I could come back and pick it up and bring it back again. An 80 mile round trip is something I tend to avoid doing. The season is short, I would rather spend the little time I have on the water.
Is this normal? Do other Moomba shops take apointments?
