Default No Comm

I had them work on a Sensenich for me. Work seemed OK but their communication skills need an upgrade. They promise to call, I wait and wait, finally call them.

Sounds like your looking for a shop in the North West, These people just did some work on my prop, got it done on time, one week, under the quoted price and Dick delivered it back to me in his 182. Dick had other business in the area so you probably can?t plan on delivery. My prop has functioned perfectly, the problem was solved and the prop is 100%. North West Prop gets my vote and my future business.

Just to be clear, I never met them before I called them about the problem I was having, just a cold call to a shop to see what they could do for me and it worked out great.

Sorry Jerry, The phone number we had for you was no good, everytime I called it said it went to voice mail, belive me we take every single persons request seriously and with us the customer is always number 1......

May have been an isolated problem with me, but i had to send my prop back to them for blade corrosion under the paint on a prop that i purchased from them. Got it back and had the same problem again Decided to take it to another shop here in Florida no problems since. Cost me another $650, Sorry i can not recommend!!

I highly recommend Ameritech Industries in Redding CA. Great people to work with. They even delivered the prop to Northwest Washington State for no additional charge (about 600 miles). They have their own delivery trucks on the road. They advertise on this forum too. I sure wish I had called them first.
