Hello again, everyone. Thanks for all of the responses! I very much appreciate your help. I will definitely check them out and also visit the MSC nearer to me, as CARUSOAM suggested ... give them a chance. I am in WI so I can check out 2 in IL and another in MN. I guess I'll just "have" to do some flying! Andy

Hello everyone, I am new to the forum ... so, thank you for allowing me to join! I have heard great things about the group and, now owning a Mooney, I thought that I'd jump right in! I have a J-model for which I would like to purchase some parts, in particular several inspection covers, the wing-tip and leading-edge lenses, and perhaps a few miscellaneous parts like fuel gage sending units, etc., that are found to need replacement. I spoke with the factory and, indeed, they are supplying parts for our lovely birds, but we are relegating to buying them through a service center. Not a bad thing, necessarily, since they can help with getting the exact right part, etc., but there is the question of the price that they will charge. The factory does not provide an MSRP list to general customers and said that the service centers are free to set their own pricing. Has anyone found a service center which is particularly good at being helpful while charging a fair, yet not exhorbitant, price for parts? Any help and suggestions will be greatly appreciated ... by everyone in the forum, not just me, I would assume!! Thanks ... and, fair skies! Andy
