Totally incompetent and they don't seem to care! Stay away!…read more I purchased a PA-28 in March of 2021. In October of 2019, Affordable Avionics installed a complete Aspen PFD and MFD 1000, along with a Garmin GPS 175/GNX 375. The previous owner had heart issues (which is why he sold the aircraft) and was unable to do much flying to test the avionics. The previous owner was kind enough to accompany me from KVNY (where my aircraft is based) to Affordable (KCNO) to have the backup battery for the MFD installed. It was done and we were on our way in a couple of hours. Then: We were informed the incorrect battery was installed as Affordable was unaware that they are serial number specific. So we went back to Chino to have the correct battery installed. We were told it would be real quick so we waited. Then: After the install the MFD would not go back on even though it was working fine when we got there. So we left the plane at KCNO to be fixed. To their credit, Affordable delivered the plane to KVNY. Then: I noticed the MFD was not even secured to the panel and was just hanging there. Another trip to KCNO was required. I wanted to have a vertical compass installed anyway, so I just did it all at the same time. After securing the MFD and installing the card, I paid the bill and asked if they calibrated the compass. They pointed to the compass rose and told me I could do it (also told me any private pilot should know how to do it). Maybe this is true, but I'm a CFII and must have had some pretty crappy training because I've never done it. They acquiesced and calibrated the compass. Then: I went to fly some approaches and noticed the Aspen was not communicating with localizer frequencies, although it picked up VOR's. Further, the analog glide slope put me 400 feet low according to ATC. Then: I called Affordable and was told the Analog to Digital converter must be bad and it was still under warranty, but their labor was not. I questioned the quality of the install and was assured everything worked perfectly when it left the shop. Not wanting to go back to KCNO I was referred a local avionics person who has a shop at KWHP. I took the plane to him to have a look. Within ONE HOUR he found out that Affordable had installed a diode backwards. Yes, BACKWARDS. A diligent technician has this system up and running. FINALLY! So, there is absolutely no possible way this was "working perfectly" when it left the shop. Further, it seems they have absolutely no concern as they have not returned texts or emails. I would not recommend this shop at all.
