I just finished up a very painless and inexpensive annual with Jason Doscher at JED-Aire Aviation. His professionalism and courtesy alone make it easy to continue flying 26 miles northwest of Willmar, MN. My experiences with that well known MSC have been posted here previously so I won't beat a dead horse. Jason is a one man operation. When you call his number, he answers. I've had a few questions prior to the annual and he always answered or called back quickly. His estimate was very accurate and reasonable. He let me assist and get my hands dirty. And he let me drink his beer when the day was done. He also gave me the keys to his truck to stay at a nearby hotel. I showed up at 9 am Monday and was back home at 1 pm Tuesday. And on top of the annual, he installed new Lord engine mounts and a new engine baffle. He's a very hard and efficient worker. And he's a Mooney expert! One of my squawks prior to the annual was my uneven CHT's. I was seeing #1 at 380 and #2 at 320 with 3 and 4 somewhere in the middle. When I went LOP, #2 peaked way ahead of the others. Jason installed a new baffle and used silicone in every hole, nook and cranny he could find to even out the airflow. It worked! On the flight home I tried LOP and all four peaked within seconds of each other with close to even CHT's. So I'm just writing to express my gratitude for good service and hospitality. Sometimes that's hard to find in this business. I highly recommend JED-Aire Aviation! http://jed-aireaviation.com
