Just a heads up to anybody ordering parts from Complete Yacht Services in Fort Lauderdale:
The quoted price may not always equal the billed price:
I called to order a mixing elbow, a timing belt and a tensioner, the quotes were $548.00, $126.67 and $183.00
When I stopped by to pay the bill, after their mechanic had installed the parts, the price now was $575.79 $155.69 and $278.91.
They admitted errors on the first 2 items and adjusted the prices, but refused to honor their own quote on the tensioner.
Perhaps it was an honest mistake, not sure but I ended up paying over $100 out of pocket over and above the agreed price.
Anybody dealing with Complete Yacht Services in Fort Lauderdale would be wise to get quoted prices in writing.
Everybody with a Yanmar 6LP-STE/6LPA-STP probably know already that the engine comes from a Toyota Land Cruiser and that the Toyota parts are the same as the more expensive Yanmar labeled parts?
I knew it too, but chose to buy the Yanmar parts from a Yanmar Dealer at slightly discounted prices.
The above mark ups however are more than I want to swallow and will shop Toyota next time, a valve cover gasket will probably be less than $80..
