"How does the Ship survive 
in a 'big box' world?" 
Established 1976

 
Wooden Ship Stereo has witnessed many big chains arrive with a big noise,
     and quietly disappear into retail history as the Ship remains afloat.  
     The better question is, How can the 'big box' keep pace with The Ship?

The Ship's Edge

Ray Avalos (pictured) established Wooden Ship Stereo with his brother in 1976.  Ray is a problem solver.  
He asks the right questions and listens.  He then integrates your electronics into a better and easier to operate 
home theater or stereo audio system.   Ray has a track record that a 'big box' can't match.  

He offers even more.   Ray is part of an association of foothill professionals that can handle any consumer electronic issue.
This group knows what the 'big boxes' don't even know they don't know.  And they offer their services at a competitive price.
