Llyn Marine Services

Last year I asked Llyn marine to sort out the excess play in my Volvo Penta outdrive, being a main dealer and how they ensured me they would sort it out. I also asked if they could service the engine at the same time. When they visited the boat yard, they asked me if they could remove the engine and outdrive and take back to the workshop as it would be quicker and easier. (big mistake). So now the bills started coming in. over £8000 by the time it was refitted !!. then to my horror, the main problem I asked them to sort, the excess outdrive play was still there. Now the fun begins, they claimed it was acceptable, however it was not like the previous year. Nor was it like at least four other boats in the yard with similar setups. They claimed and charged for all new parts, so I would have expected it as new? Then I was told I could spend another £3500 for MORE new parts plus fitting, but they did not know if it would make any difference. After more complaining and a professional surveyor advised it was not fit for use, they returned and changed some more bushes, which made very little improvement. I asked a mechanical engineer to have a look at it. He very quickly he found no power steering fluid in the system, this nearly sorted the issue completely. The way Llyn marine are prepared to treat people is an utter disgrace, be warned. Especially if they advise removing the engine, I have found I’m not the first. скрыть
