beware Rivers Edge avionics

If you guys ever need your avionics serviced stay away from these guys. I dropped off my transponder in late July to these yahoo's. Tom Jackson the owner said he would contact me in a couple of days with a diagnosis. Weeks passed and Tom said they were very busy and could not get to it right away, fine, call me when you find out. I phoned him at least a dozen times trying to find out what was going on. Finally two weeks ago he tells me transponder is fine, but encoder is shot, could not find a time to go pick it up because of me working in Yakima now. So today I get a hold of him, ask him if I can pick it up tomorrow, he says fine. I get an email tonight saying the Transponder is beyond reasonable repair, and a quote for a new transponder and encoder. This guy is an A**HOLE cant wait till I see him tomorrow, they will remember me for a long time.
