In a time of crazy uncertainty, I want to share some positive news with you about the growth of LASAR. Over the past year, we have been asking ourselves the question, ‘how can we serve our loyal customers better’? The main thing that kept coming back to us is providing our excellent service in a location that is convenient for more airplane owners. And after considering many centralized locations on the West Coast, we believe we found the perfect place... We are excited to announce that starting tomorrow, we are opening up our new service center in Rancho Murieta (KRIU) in the Sacramento Valley. We have hired an experienced team that will be able to greatly expand our service to other makes and models. These are exciting times for us as a company. Please call (707) 263-0412 to schedule your next annual, and join us in spreading the word to your fellow pilots (Mooney or otherwise) in the area. *There is NOT a landing fee for LASAR customers.

Here’s the deal...Lampson field is temporarily closing down for runway improvements in early August, and we dont want to sit on our hands for 2 weeks. Soooooo, how about a win/win scinario? You bring your plane in for service before August 1, and we will give you 10% off labor. We stay busy through the closure. You save money! Give us a call to schedule your service. (707) 263-0412

LASAR, Inc. Announces Change of Ownership Mooney service center with over 4 decades of expertise has new owners LAKEPORT, CA: Lake Aero Styling and Repair (LASAR, Inc.) recently underwent a change of ownership. On May 1, 2017, the company was acquired by Brett Stokes and Caleb Brown. Over the past four decades, LASAR has built a reputation of being the preferred destination for service, parts, avionics and speed modifications for Mooney airplanes. Founded in 1975, LASAR had been under the ownership and leadership of Paul and Shery Loewen before the recent transfer. The Loewen’s have built a lasting legacy in the aviation industry, which the new owners will endeavor to carry on. LASAR not only offers repairs and parts for Mooney airplanes, but they also are approved by the FAA to implement speed modifications and manufacture specialty parts. In simple terms, they are a one-stop service destination for Mooney owners from all across the country, and ship Mooney parts all over the world. The incoming CEO of LASAR, Inc., Brett Stokes, said, “The Loewen’s have built a strong following over the years and played an active role in moving this industry forward. The Loewen’s contributions to the aviation industry are nothing short of legendary.” The new owners have been close friends for several years, and have partnered in several other companies. Merging their expertise in leadership, systems architecture, and project management, Brett and Caleb are a proven team. Since Brett’s service as an Avionics Technician in the US Navy, he has harbored the dream of owning an aviation company, which has now come true. Brett has been flying for over 23 years, and has previously owned a Mooney 231, which he says, “…is my favorite plane to fly.” “We’re honored that we get to carry on the LASAR legacy, and be part of a community that I am really passionate about. This means not just the aviation community but the Mooney community. Caleb and I have many new ideas and we plan to use our experience to make this a company more people want to work for, while also making it a place more people want to bring their planes,” Brett added. The enthusiastic new owners plan to continue serving their loyal customers with the high level of customer service that LASAR is known for, as well as expanding their reach throughout the United States. The Loewen’s have left their company in capable hands, and are confident in a bright future for LASAR.
