Yamaha Service in Tidewater Area of VA

[FM18]

Anyone recommend a good Yamaha Authorized Service Center/shop in the Tidewater area of VA or north eastern NC? My boat is coming due for 20 hour warrenty service and trying to find a good local rep instead of taking the boat all the way back to my dealer several hours away. Any recommendations would be appreciated. The boat is stored in Southampton County. Trying to find something within an hour and a half of there if possible that has a good reputation and reasonable turn around time. Thanks in advance

FM18,

If you're looking for a great shop, then call Todd Marine in Portsmouth.* Give Dave a call and tell him Mud Runner sent you.* They know their stuff and they're honest.* Had a problem where they could have raked me over the coals and they just told me what was wrong and left the rest to me.* I had a water in the separator*alarm on my guage.* The fact is I don't have factory separators because I have Racors.* Turned out the factory harness in the bilge was not capped properly and got wet when I cleaned the bilge.* They also do mobile service too but it ain't cheap but worth it.***

Mudd Runner and Bill,
Thanks for the info! Will take a look at both these places and see what thier back log is right now. Would like the boat back in a reasonable time period as this fishing has been pretty good so far this summer. Hopefully the 20 hour service check want take more than 20 hours to do Anymore recommendations on service still appreciated

May be too far out of the way for you, but Jason at MidAtlantic Marine in Warsaw is tops.
