Replying to Topic 'What Would You Do???'
I have been very fortunate when taking my boat/cars to the shop. I have not suffered a loss when I forgot and left something of value in the vehicle. But should I have suffered a loss like a missing battery or something else that was clearly part of the boat/car I would expect the dealer to replace the missing item. On the other hand a personal item(s) like those mentioned would fall under the category of I should have known better.
My thought is good dealers are very hard to come by. Don't let $100 of items cause a bad relationship to develop.

I agree with Bobby. If you don't use that dealer will you have adequate service? Unless you work on your boat. You might be over a barrel. Sorry about that.
