I am in the same boat with annuals. I have had three, but my experience has been odd for all three. The 1st was when I bought it (had the pre-flight and annual done at the same time), the second one was a bad experience from a place in NC (had a buddy there) and the last was in FL where I was getting avionics installed. (very expensive and they messed up my gear).
There was a guy in Sidney, OH that was a guy that I was looking toward for the annual. It would be nice to find someone close to do our Mooneys so we don't have to stay in a hotel while we help.

Mark, I agree, it would be great to find someone you can trust, work with, is consistently reasonable and is close. I really want to be involved maintaining my plane, I feel better flying it when I know how it works. I actually trust myself more than a typical mechanic. I really think these guys jacked up the price because I had the audacity to change my own front tire and had previously questioned how two oil hose could possibly cost $375 each plus installation.
