All I hear on City Island is "Stay AWAY from Consolidated!"

I wish I had heard that before they ripped me off: I asked them to make new life-lines for me and asked for an estimated price, after long calculation they said $300-$400. The life-lines were ready for me in a few days, with a bill for something around $750. Since I had no idea that time about what should it cost and the guy who did the work seemed to be nice and honest (and I still believe that he is the only one honest out of the people I have dealt with in that marina). After I tried to install the life-lines on my boat, I found out that all the lines were too long, despite they measured the length at the spot themselves and charged me for that time. (Later a friend explained me that the right length can be inferred just from the length of the old cables after compensating for their stretch; besides you can get all done in West Marine store for a fraction of the price.)

Then they kept promising me to fix it and give me free parts from old boats. They would always promise something and then found an excuse to postpone it. They won't call me at arranged time, instead I always needed to come to their marina to hear another excuse. I find their acting very arrogant, instead of trying to be helpful they would make me ignorant.

I have heard stories from other people who got ripped off at Consolidated - I recommend to avoid that place unless you want to get a lesson!

If you don't trust me, check their reviews on Yelp.

The owner of this yard is an out and out thief. He overcharged me beyond belief. Afterwards I heard from people who used to work for him that he routinely commits fraud (for example saying he's replaced parts and charging for them when he left the old part in place). Stay away at all costs. I'm giving 1 star because zero is not an option
