Default Looking for a Mechanic

Can anyone reccommend a good, honest Yamaha mechanic in the Gulfport/Biloxi area? Looking for someone trustworthy to do my engine work.
Thanks..

if you don't mind a short drive, i found the guys at cypress cove in slidell to be honest, prompt, fair, knowledgeable, and competant

they took great care of me and my yammie while i had it, and i did not buy either the boat or the motor from them

That's the place i'm trying to move away from if I can find someone else. If not i'll be stuck with them. I wasn't exactly pleased with their handling of a recent situation. Up to that point, I was fine with their service.
Thanks for the suggestion..

Thanks Blue,
I've thought about checking them out. Slidell isn't exactly close anyway and it wouldn't really be all that much farther to Tim's. Plus it only really goes in once a year anyway.

I agree with what Blue said. Seven C's is the place around here but they do stay busy. January or Februrary is probably the best time to beat the Spring rush.

Tim's Marine would be my choice. They will even do service calls if that would be better for you.
