Thread: Excceptional Service: Tom Papp Racing

    I usually do not give praise for good customer services, unless it is exceptional. Tom Papp was recommended to me by a fellow boater. I brought my boat into Tom to have him look at my motor, as it was not running good - I could not figure out what was wrong with it. Turns out that the heads were cracked at the valve seats and I had 70% - 90% leak down on 6 of the 8 cylinders (moral of the story, keep an eye on your temp gauge).
    Tom was able to diagnose, tear down, rebuild, get my motor back together, in the boat, water tested, boat detailed, and ready for pickup in 7 weeks. He was usually available on the phone when I called him with any questions or always quick to call me back. His prices and fees are very reasonable and he knows his motors. I will never bring my boat anywhere else if I need to get work done to it. If anyone needs to have any work done on their boat, go see Tom Papp Racing....their service and work ethic are exceptional.

    That's awesome Ari, did you have them boost the HP of the Motor? Wonder how fast it will run with the rebuild... Congrats, can't wait to get out on the water with you and your lady...

    Glad your boat is back and in running order. 7 weeks sounds like a long time for a simple project like that. How did the motor get so hot, any Ideas?

    I did not think it was that long, considering all the machine work that need to be done and that the parts were not on the shelf (pistons, heads, rockers, etc..) and needed to be ordered. The motor got that hot because the water intake got plugged up. The boat actually hydro-locked it was so hot.

    Tom's shop is hoppin everyday. It's not like he is just sitting there waiting for something to come through the door.
    I wonder that the turn around time for a shop like DNE is right now? :idea:

    I too had some work done by Tom Papp a few years ago... He is the most honest and straight forward person I have met. I HIGHLY recommend him to anyone looking for engine work or an honest opinion.
