"2014-05-15T00:00:00"^^ . "Two major concerns regarding Ronnow Lawn Sprinkler Inc: \n\n1) The technician arrived an hour after his scheduled window. He was supposed to show up between 11am and 1pm and arrived at 2pm. I finally had to call at 1pm to find out if he was still coming. \n\n2) The Ronnow technician was quick to ascertain I needed an entirely new control panel for my sprinkler system. I was on lunch break, didn't have a lot of time, and agreed because the panel was old and my grass was dying. The total repair cost was $340 for the panel and 15 minutes of his time to repair it.\n\nOnce I had time to research it, I discovered the average cost of a standard control panel is $75. The technician installed a \"commercial grade\" panel for my shrubs ($200) Completely unnecessary. \n\nIf you decide to use this company, take a moment to price-check the parts and be clear on the cost of labor. \n\nMy brother is a master mechanic in CA. He advised me I shouldn't have paid more than $150 TOTAL for this repair. Good luck and try another company."^^ . . . "1"^^ . "1"^^ . "3"^^ . . "0"^^ .
