I was a customer of Dave Flum who owns Clovis Marine, a boat shop/repair/dealer in the greater Fresno area.
In the Summer of 2011 I had Dave do some minor repairs on my outboard. Needless to say the bill was very high but I figured it just goes with owning a boat.
Later I had to have additional work performed so I picked another shop which has high recommendations from WestMarine suppliers.
I found that the parts that were used to repair my outboard were of questionable quality. And had to be replaced again. I began to learn that this is what Flum/Clovis Marine does.
They charge a very high going rate ($98.00 an hour) for their repair but the repair work is bad. The parts are cheap. The invoice is vague at best.
My new shop is keeping track of boat owners who have been ripped off by Clovis Marine. The list is getting longer and longer.
I support the court action pending against Clovis Marine and will contribute my experience to the
courts for their review.
