SouthBay Yacht Service Jose Gracia aka: BDR Marine BDR Marine is now South Bay Yacht Service Same guy still harming boat owners! San Diego California

Jose Gracia of South Bay Yacht Services (aka: BDR Marine ) has stolen my money, devalued my investment & breached his written financial arrangements.

SouthBay Yacht Service committed to a three warranty on a complete rebuild of a Detroit 12v92 engine with all new genuine factory parts.  The engine failed with roughly 20 hours of use on the rebuild.  

After learning of Jose Gracia's previous charges based on complaints from 16 seperate boatowners (http://courtindex.sdcourt.ca.gov/CISPublic/casedetailr?casenum=SCD236241&casesite=SD&applcode=R ,  https://www.portofsandiego.org/harbor-police/2705-harbor-police-arrest-man-accused-of-grand-theft.html  & http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/2011/sep/03/harbor-police-arrest-man-suspected-of-defrauding-b/ ) I became very uncomfortable allowing him back on my boat.

I was told by the new mechanic that Jose used axle grease to seal my brand new heads which cost over $5000.00 and sealed the gaskets with household weather strip adhesive.  This is certainly not factory rebuild procedure. Also, I learned that the 1st head to fail was approximatelty 20 years old (he sourced all the parts from his trusted vendor).  Obviously, everything had to come back apart, replaced or rebuilt.  The bill to correct his work is already over $15,000.00 & we are still far from getting it all verified & corrected.  This whole ordeal has already taken 1.5 years to correct.  It took him 6 months just to show up & complete the rebuild after having all parts prepaid.  Obviosly, my expenses continue to ratchet up just from the boat sitting there inoperable.

Additionally, Jose Gracia charged me thousands of dollars for services that he never provided on both of my engines. This caused additional damage to my other engine.   I had to pay to have it repaired in addition to the services I had aleady paid Jose to complete as preventative maintenance.  Jose Gracia did reimburse some of these funds.  Now he is using that partial return of my money (which occured before the one engine he rebuilt had even failed) as an excuse to no longer honor his commitment to pay for the rework on the engine he claimed to professionally rebuild (a commitment he verified last week but will no longer honor).  

Please help me to work with Jose Gracia on a resolution.  I would be happy to post that he has resolved the situation if he ever does & assuming your website permits it.  There are numerous addresses for his business names but per Yahoo: 1319 Surfwood Ln, San Diego, CA 92154  The listed business # & his cell # are the same: 619-634-5426
