At some point you have to draw the line on how you allow people to treat you! When you're not appreciated its time to move on. We get to choose who we work with just like the customer gets to pick us to work for them. They made this mistake ▶ ruclips.net/video/h1HcMlyIcpA/видео.html
I conquer with you, drawing the Line when you dont trust someone is the best option, no matter how much money you might make is not worth the hassle. I have been in business for over 30 years in my career and i have learned that the hard way, i have fired many customers when they try to screw me or putting one of my guys down just for the fun of it. The guy told you hes an ASSHOLE, and he didnt lie.Keep the good honest work and true videos.
Nobody should be treated like that and a person acting like that will never give you good word of mouth - you might as well kick him to the curb. The depth of knowledge you must accumulate to be a top notch mechanic on these large boats is mind boggling. You & your guys are impressive.
Yup kicked to the curb … next! You won’t believe the update they called us to come back this week I had to tell them not a chance.
Love you guys never change if I am ever in your area I will break my boat just to meet you and your crew !
Love it …. Let’s just meet even if your not broke cheaper for you and easier for us 🤣
Just started watching you guys…a dream vacation is driving down to Key West. I’ll just say I use that analogy with some of my not so pleasant customers who are Drs and you’d think they would have a better bedside manner. You catch more bees with honey than vinegar. It surprises me some when they don’t understand what I’m telling them. Keep up the good work and thanks for the videos!
Thanks for watching our boat chaos 🤣
You are honest and provide a wonderful service. Don't let people like this get you down. Be proud of your reputation!!
Yes we’ve worked hard for years to have our reputation! Especially in a small town.
Live and learn my Brother. Trust your judgement and intuition because many people don't operator on your morel HighGround but in long run you will come out way ahead of people like that! Love you guys!🥰🤗
Thank you 🙏 we try as you know! What until you hear the latest update 🤣
YOU ARE A GREAT TECHNICIAN AND HONNEST 😊😊😊
Only way to do it 👍
Good to hear you separated yourself from trouble you don't need. You have plenty of appreciative customers who deserve your time.
That man has his own troubles and you're not a mental health provider. You tried and that's good enough. Like Super-Fast Matt says, "there is never perfect there is only good enough"!
Thanks! We’re always trying to learn and grow! 👍 This guy is not worth or experience he will find out soon enough. lol the boat caretaker called us this week for more work. I let them know we are done.
A rule of thumb in business is 20% of your customers produce 80% of your business. Any customer we get a bad vide from we put them behind all our good custermers. (unless business is slow) and new customers give us 60% down until we get to know them. I have a good friend going our on his own here in Seattle with a mobile boat repair and maintince business(10 years expierence)and I reccomended your channel. It would help a lot of small business owners if you could tell them how you got started and how important bookkeeping is! Thanks you and your wife have a wonderful channel! Also love how well you treat your employees with respect and dont make problems prersonal. :)
Thanks for recommending us to your friend! As you know small Business is not easy! Matt and I are a team each of us having huge responsibilities to make us successful. I struggle understanding mechanics and he doesn’t touch the books 😀
My wife and I were the same way in our women’s clothing business. I did personal and merchandising and she did the books and warehouse for 20 years till we sold the business to a couple good employees.
@@danhogan1047love that we hope to sell to one of our guys if they’d like to take this beast over 😂
Ur 100% a better Man! I want You on My Team 4sure!
Matt would love to be on your team! 👍
This channel should be called A.D.D.
You guys are all over the place.
I’m not sure about that but yes we have a lot going on. We work on 20-30 boats a week.
I think your business is excellent. My opinion was directed at Volvo. To complete repairs you need a computer science degree. Keep up the good work and good luck.
To even get your cars worked on these days you need a degree in computer readings 😂
Matt I’ve been do home remodeling for 35 years and I’ve learned that if I get a bad vibe from a new client I walk away.
Yes exactly what we did granted it will cost us cause we aren’t getting paid but he’s not worth it!
I have done that also…but sometimes😒
Have done the same thing!!
Matt, don't compromise your values. Their are so many who greatly value you and your service. These nasty people all think they can use negativity to get free or discounted service. Its probably worked for him in the past. But no need for you and your high quality company to deal with nasty people. My line to nasty people always was, 'take a look at my back when I walk away, its the last thing you will see from me.'
Love it …. Yup lol you’ll never believe it just this week they hired a boat caretaker and they called us to do work! I kindly let her know that we would NOT work with them … she had no clue.
you are a top notch mechanic bro
Appreciate the compliment and thanks for watching us! 👍
Definitely straight transmissions no pods not now not ever and that’s from Mechanic with over 40 years experience
Just depends on one’s preference.
Another great video. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Mike thanks for choosing to watch out boat chaos!
Nice that you separated from the unnecessary stress
Yes we try to control the stress and a brand new customer is not worth t!
All you can do is your best, as you are. You only answer ultimately to the lord above as all of us. So, you are doing us a great service, going into detail of the craziness of electrical really helps us all, make it simple! Thank you
Thanks for choosing to watch our boat chaos!
Do boat motors need air filters?, be more efficient just having intake noise baffle, no restrictions, increase bang for your buck . Alternator is bad, pretty much my grandmas hairdresser could tell you that.
We'd love to see grandma's hairdresser troubleshoot for us!
Matt. Life is too short to deal with idiots. Have a feeling you will survive without him 😂
Exactly NEXT!
Sometimes gotta let them go.
Yeah it’s best that way.
I work as a technician in a similar field and it always amazes me how people with all these toys and disposable income can be so miserable.
I totally understand why you fired that client though. Calling into question your integrity is a deal breaker. How can you move forward with a buisness relationship if there's no trust?
Exactly our thoughts … not worth it wait until you hear the latest update. His reputation perceives him 🤣
when I was a kid, we called the VW a Slug Bug.
60yrs It's always been "slug bug" some just want to be unique
Depending on where you grew up we never heard of slug bug until we posted on here.
wish i could see the whole series for the volvo engine with pod replacement that has vibration and loping issue
There is more coming. It’s been a lot of work and waiting on feedback from Sweden.
definitely a respectable business model
Yes NEXT!
I came across a mechanic down in the keys, he will only except cash from customers, also if one his customers recommend him to one of their friends and he gets stiffed he dissolves that relationship. His customers know the consequences if they send him a deadbeat customer. Very smart way I think to do business, the people in the keys always need a good mechanic. Some may say ruthless, what do ya`ll think..
Love this lol! I wouldn’t want to recommend my friends cause we don’t control them. 🥴
All of should strive to remove toxic individuals from our lives. Key to happiness.
We try to be guarded with our time since we work sooo much! Don’t need the stress.
We have always said "slug bug" instead of "punch bug". I wonder which is more common?
Not sure we never heard of slug bug until you guys told us we were wrong lol 😂
I feel almost famous! Thanks for taking care of all my clients boats!
Your welcome! Appreciate you hiring us to help out in your time of need!
Post video of the guy!
Well that probably isn’t a good idea! Just wait until this week we update you on this one 🤣
Oh man! Unsecured batteries are pet peeve of mine and missing HVAC valve caps. I try to explain these are not stationary machines, they move in every direction and those expensive batteries won't last long getting thumped around.
Ya if you get in rough seas can u imagine an 8D flying around. But we see it all the time.
Glad I joined Freedom Boat Club! 😂😂
Is that the one here in Key West?
@@WillFixThat No, Surprising a FBC franchise is not in KW...the closet one is Black Point Marina.
You seem to have this problem often you need to learn to walk away after the first 5 minutes when your gut starts to turn. There’s more than enough good customers to pick and choose from.
I wouldn’t consider this often when we work on a couple hundred boats a year.
The electronic complexity of modern boating is completely stupid . From a Electrical , Electronic engineer +
It’s the same with new cars.
Yeah, you are expensive to hire, but when you're done, it's been done right. You don't seem hard to work with. I'd be the client that would tell you to fix it and then leave you to it. No mechanic wants to be hovered over.
Hovering over us … we charge more! 😂 just teasing
Hopefully your ratio of PITA customers and good ones is in your favor. Do you have any opinion on the Tamd74 EDC Volvo?
Old tech and hard to deal with but a solid engine if maintained. Parts can be a problem.
I was fortunate to only fire 3 clients in 30 years but my business was based on annual repeat work so it was important to nip that in the bud. Embrace the "No Assholes" rule.
We work on a couple hundred boats a year and as time goes by our rules get more hard and fast! Asses can find someone else!
Boats and airplanes are the same. If they are broken, don't piss off your mechanic, especially if they are the only factory authorized guy in the area.
Even so …. You don’t need to be an AS.H..E no one needs you BS! lol wait til you hear the latest update they called us to come back 🤣
@@WillFixThat Then lay out the ground rules, X amount of money in an escrow account for the project to cover estimate plus an agreed percentage. All parts and labor to be paid through escrow, vessel will not be released till all bills satisfied. Any funds left in escrow go back to owner after all bills are paid.
@@5695qwe don’t use escrow accts for repairs.
Took me years to learn that some clients I don’t want.
I choose carefully.
Agree completely.
Good morning
Good Morning to you!
GM fatcat!
I know it as slug bug punch bug seems pretty effective though lol
We both grew up with punch bug!
Is Volvo going with modules and engine computers where you’d need factory diagnostic software on new power trains ?
Volvo Penta uses the vodia which reads the engine codes.
Matt, will you adopt me 😂😂
Sure will when you coming.
There are people in this world who wake up each morning with the mission to make everyone they come into contact with as miserable as they are, and I think you met one of them.
It’s pretty bad Paul …. Move along who’s Next 😂
I find that money often turns nice people into real A-holes--I don't get it either !! Smart move on your part !!
Seems it might be getting worse or at least it feels that way!
@@WillFixThat I agree.
Just out of curiosity what state was the lunatic from
Unfortunately I’m not sure I’d have to look at our contract. Are certain states worse than others? 🤔
On the battery in question did you do a parasitic draw test ?
Yes, we did find some very small draw. Cleaned up connections and it went away
@ huh set meter on milliamp amp scale test from disconnected cable end to battery post tells you if something sucking down juice anything above 5 will kill a battery in the automotive world
First 5mn tells all you need to know about meeting a new person!!! Your wife knows where those Punch Bugs are!! That’s why!!! Lol 😂
lol actually Matt knows where the punch bugs are because I’m in the office 90% of the time.
The one person in the world you treat nicely is your boat mechanic. That customer is an idiot.
Treat them good and pay immediately you’ll get faster service… just sayin.
Argghhh not tan sea deck … where’s the tub o towels
Don’t worry we use the tub of towels a couple times a day 🤣
money is a blessing, and a curse really shows the true side of people
It sure can.
Guy's ya gotta follow your gut, I'm sure you both have delt with boat owners enough to know some owners are coo coo for cocoa puffs
You got that right seems people are getting more crazy!
Time to make him a “Preferred Customer”. Prefer he take his business elsewhere
Yes he’s on our list 🤣
You will never see me work for an employer that treats their employees like crap and enjoy it. And that's when you will actually see me get into their face to stand up for someone. Oh wait, that's how I got fired from a job after only working for them for 2 months, lol 😂 . And idk Matt, are yall able to handle the toilet seat replacement? lol
That toilet seat was easy peazy 🤣
@WillFixThat hahahaha, now I know a navy guy can at least handle that job 😅 😂 🤣 just kidding.
Oh yeah Matt had Mel do the repairs on those three boats.
@@WillFixThat got ya I can understand why
alot of people moved here are just like that
You mean where you live?
are those volvo pods reliable or not really?
Yes and keep maintained.
Some peoples money is to expensive .
Exactly not worth it.
Guys like you KNOWLEDGEABLE, HONEST RELIABLE, are nearly IMPOSSIBLE to find.Let him pound sand. Some boaters have NO idea the importance of building a GOOD RELATIONSHIP with the people that keep you boating.
Keep firing those ungrateful clients.....😂
@@WBSR610you are exactly right and in a small town! lol what for the follow up to this story!
Volvo is not worth the trouble. Good only for service companies.
Not sure what you mean we provide service.
Amazing how people that sit on top of water think they can burn bridges that may save the boat later.
We will watch you sink if you’re on our list! Screw us once … shame on you! Life is too short for BS!
No to pods and no to anything Volvo.
Just depends on one’s preference.
He hired a man with exceptional experience , training and proven skill in an industry that requires an extreme amount of common sense and self discipline. Then try to treat him like a laborer mowing the grass. There is such an extreme shortage of good marine technician's you probably had his slot filled before you walked to the end of the dock. The word gets around fast through the tiny marine repair industry and he won't be able to get anyone to work on his boat.
Was he a short guy lol
We start away from the short guys 🤣
Five minutes to tel me about a person…..then walk away
We don’t always know this was the first and last time working with him 😊
Looks like he's emulating the new President who doesn't pay his small contractors either!
Not sure what you’re trying to say?
You did good he sounded like a asshole stress is not good for anyone ! Yal stay safe
Exactly don’t need his BS life is too short!
You appear to have plenty of customers who appreciate you very much. No need to deal with the inconsiderate few! His end run around you by calling your wife shows he was trying to validate his attitude not change it…
Oh yeah his whole line was learning why some relationships fail to learn for next time lol … I have that in writing!
PITA fees. Pain in the @ss
Agree but not when they attack you personally and don’t even know you. Or if the question your integrity. Or accuse you of over charging. Just some examples of when pita fees wouldn’t be enough or worth it.
