G & S Antenna is a top rate Antenna and Satellite firm. They've been in business since 1980, so…read morethey are pretty well established (not another fly by night, startup satellite firm). They sell Winegard antennas and pre-amps, Channel Master rotators and Rohn towers. The owner, Gordy Stiller runs the business out of his house in Byron. I had a good experience with them back in the fall of 2001, when we went to fix an antenna at a previous house. The owner, an older guy in his 50's or 60's seems to be very experienced with satellite and antenna systems. He was more than willing to spend 45 minutes explaining in full detail all the tips and tricks doing our installation up right, etc... He was very friendly, and glad to sell to DIYers. I was impressed at his honesty (not slick). The equipment prices were quite reasonable, even though some stuff is certainly cheaper on the internet. I would definitely recommend them as an installer, even though I did not deal with that end of things. Why? Two reasons: 1)Because I've seen many of their installations, and they are very well designed, and good looking. 2)I was very impressed with the owner, and would definitely trust him and his men on my roof (or tower) if I were un-able to install it my self.

Horrible experience. Found them in the Yellow Pages without asking for referrals. We added a 2nd…read morestory to our home in the country and wanted to move our antenna to a rear peak of the house and get TV to the new TV location in the upstairs. Called their number and dealt with Travis Stiller, the original owner's son, through the whole nightmare. I described my job and he quoted $600 if he could use our existing antenna or $1000 worst case scenario. It sounded high but I was assured that I would be the $600 since my antenna works fine. We set up a morning when I would wait to show him the job and he said that they give free estimates but don't make a special trip since what he quoted will be what the job costs so assuming I am okay with that range he would expect to do the job on same trip. When he arrived he looked up at my antenna from the ground and said it can't be used. He did not even climb up and look at it or go in and see that we had over 20 channels including channel 47. He was insistent that a new antenna was necessary and would have more power. He then quoted $1150 if he leaves two existing lines to back bedrooms or over $1250 if he runs new cable. I was shocked and said what about $1000 worst case scenario. He said, well this is more complicated! We finally agreed to $1100 out of frustration as he paced around during the 45 minute free estimate. He had arrived at our rural home at 10:00. I left for work at 10:45 and he said jobs normally take 3 1/2 hours. He called my cell phone at 1:15 asking where I was and wanting to be paid. I explained that I was at my office in Rochester so leave me a bill and I would send check. He said no, payment had to be made same day. I questioned him on the job asking if we now had TV in our new 2nd level. He said no, that he did not go in our upstairs at all. So I asked what exactly he had done to which his answer was he put new antenna up. I responded that I was now to pay $1100 to him for TV to the same main floor TV's that I had before he arrived and a new antenna I did not need and still no TV where I wanted it upstairs. His response was that we had "way more power now" assuming that to mean we had more channels. He blamed our electrician for not labeling cables but that he could not waste any more time on my job. That means he worked from 10:45 til 1:15 or 2 1/2 hours. He arrived at my office in Rochester 1/2 hour later and I gave him a check for the agreed $1100. When my husband arrived home a couple hours later to find we now only had 10 channels on the main TV and only 1 channel on the bedroom TV's he was livid. When I told him I had paid him it was over the top as you can imagine. When I got home we both looked over the TV's and tried moving the antenna rotor to see if Travis in his rush had missed something. By the way I had also told Travis I wanted to keep my old antenna but he had thrown it from the roof damaging it beyond use. The next morning I called at 8:15 and requested an immediate call back and to not cash my check as there were huge problems with the installation. He waited over 24 hours to call back and left me a message that he was returning my call but did not address any of the concerns I left on his voicemail. I waited til mid morning after my call was not returned and called my bank and learned how to place a "stop payment" on my check. I have never had to do that but I have also never had such an experience as this. About a week later, Travis called and said my check was dishonored, still not an apology or explanation for the job he attempted. When I asked why we don't have the channels we used to have, he had no answer! He threatened me with a mechanics lien and I threatened this would be in small claims court, which I easily would have won. Bottom line is we couldn't go back to our old antenna because he had destroyed it so I agreed to pay for the materials and had done Internet research for what I could buy them for. It was under $400 but he fought for $533.04 and I finally gave up. Bottom line is we did some tinkering and got some reception to our new upstairs TV ourselves after buying coax cable supplies. We still have far less channels which makes my children and husband extremely unhappy and we are currently looking for someone competent to fix our ongoing problems. At least we have KTTC and a couple other channels. Another red flag that "stop payments" are nothing new to Travis is that he does not accept credit cards (which are easy to reverse payment for faulty work) and that he has a letter he hands out discussing civil penalties for a check that is reversed. I suspect there are many similar stories to my nightmare.

They seemed to work harder to make up for my experience in VT. They were extremely kind, friendly, worked to fix broken furniture if they could.

The associates there acted like they were on something. They both talked a million miles an hour. I asked the same questions multiple times as I did not understand what they were trying to sell me. I was assured I would be receiving at least $500 back for my old phone once I traded it in. They told me the credit would show up in one or two billing cycles. On the second billing, I called AT&T directly because I did not have the credit applied as yet. I was told that I was not on the correct plan and I would not be receiving any discounts and the phone was going to cost $1000! Finally, I was able to have them tell me they would reimburse $280. I feel like I was totally lied to by the sales rep at the Rochester store. On top of that, a week later, my new phone totally went blank while I was on the road and would only work on SOS mode. I had to stop in a town that had another AT&T store and have them fix it for me.

(One of the reasons they aren't a 1 or 2 star) Strike 2: Today, our 2nd time there, they didn't store any of the insurance information from our 1st visit (same patient as last time), so I had to go pick up my wife with the correct information card and bring it in. This information should have been saved the last time we were there. I shouldn't have to bring in the same insurance information every time I need to fill a prescription.

I had a very disappointing experience with Erik's Bike Shop…read more We purchased a brand-new pair of skis and bindings from the Rochester store. Their technicians also professionally mounted and tested the bindings when we purchased new ski boots. Despite this professional setup, the binding unexpectedly released while my son was skiing, causing him to fall. After only two ski trips, the skis were also already visibly chipped. When we brought the equipment back to the store, they refused to issue a refund. The only option they offered was a replacement from the same manufacturer, even though we had already lost confidence in the product's safety and quality. What was even more disappointing was the customer service. Both the Rochester store manager and corporate customer service were dismissive of our concerns. Instead of addressing the safety issue, they insisted the remedy would not be a refund and suggested the problem could be "as simple as a screw coming loose." They even tried to blame the situation by saying my son weighs more now than when the bindings were set, even though the bindings had been professionally adjusted and tested by their own technicians just the month before. For a shop that markets itself as a professional ski service provider, this response showed very little accountability when something goes wrong. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend buying skis or having bindings serviced here. For reference, Better Business Bureau currently lists the company with a D rating and multiple unanswered complaints.
