My van radio wasn't working correctly, so I went in looking for a radio that would be best for AM radio listening specifically. I specifically told them that the radio worked OK sometimes, but other times the sound cut out and became muffled. I asked if maybe it wasn't a radio problem, but a speaker or connection problem. They said those old radios went out with those kinds of symptoms, and it would be best to just replace it. They sold me a unit that they said would be the best choice for AM reception, and installed it. After it was installed, they said there was still a problem [Hmmm... still doing the same cut in/cut out that it was doing with the old radio!]... They said I probably needed new speakers as well. I let them install those.
It didn't take long to figure out that the new radio had all kinds of background noise interference, got terrible AM reception, not much better FM, and CD player which was probably OK but that I never used.
When I went back to complain, they said if I wanted to pay for antenna booster, noise suppressor, etc, MAYBE they could make it better! He said that none of the new radios had as good reception as the stock radios, and all required additional add-ons. I said forget it! Even if that is true, which I don't necessarily believe... why didn't they say that up front??!
I suspected, after they were still having a problem with the new radio, before new speakers were put in, that perhaps my old radio was OK all along. Due to being so unhappy with the new radio, I had someone else take it out and put the old radio back in... and it works fine! So at least the speakers they put in were OK.
I was very dissatisfied with the whole thing. I felt they should have figured out that the old radio was OK due to post-new-installation still having the same problem. They just wanted to be sure they sold that radio, got the $$$... had no interest in business ethics or customer satisfaction. They would have been fine with me paying more and more to add on components trying to make the radio perform better.
I am just so happy that I took my old radio home with me, or I would never have known it was OK!
I would never deal with this company again and will recommend against them any chance that I get! read more
