Well April 20th came and went , no Mark. Fortunately Ready Electric came to our rescue. Troubleshooted our problem, gave us options, and set an appointment. Jr showed up early , even wore shoe covers and completed the job in less than a day. I highly recommend Ready Electric over Boatworks.

An unnamed shipyard in Alamitos Bay did not even call me back after leaving a message of what I was looking for in a haul out.

(Our boat cost $6,000). Obviously, we could not afford that AFTER he had already taken everything apart. Thanks for letting us know - And then, he was going to charge ANOTHER $900 to put it back together. lol What a scam. Nothing for $900. I should start my own business doing this!!! What a money maker. My husband had to put it back together himself finally so he can just sell it. Who has to do that??? I see other people have had the same experience. This guy does it because he can get away with it. (Add maniacal laugh) UPDATE: Rod answered back thinking I am a different Jennifer/Couple. lol I have never personally communicated with him. Only my husband. We were not THAT story. I guess he has done this to a lot of people.

After numerous dealings with Avalon, I've finally, and forever, decided that, I won't endure another lecture on lifesaving. Nor will I be gouged again. I wish I could conduct my business with this model. the offshore sailing community has regs, Avalon absolutely takes advantage of these Regs, and promotes them. Attending safety at sea seminars as the approved expert. The level of arrogance, and "we're the only people who can service the needs" is sickenin. The sailing community has been notified, this is a bullshit outfit. and they should stick with sodimizing the Cruze ship industry. Stop trying to be a resource for the sailing community. We're tired of your business model. After attempting, one more time with these crooks, I had to go elsewher. that discovery was not half the price, but a third. these people are in their own world of entitlement.
