flyingvee201 Posted October 9, 2014 Report Posted October 9, 2014 Just a quick compliment to my new (new to me) mechanic. This is our second annual and second year with the plane in our ownership. Our previous mechanic is a great guy personally, but his services have downgraded considerably so we decided to find someone else. My fears of having a new set of eyes looking at the plane were unfounded. Lance Bartels is very detailed oriented but wont empty your wallet without talking to you first on all issues and let you decide - without pressure to sell you something. I just had our annual done and was pleasantly surprised on the bill. I expected it to be double. He charges $1200 for the annual inspection, plus parts. Lance and his other mechanic Dakota are top notch in my book. Their hourly prices are very very reasonable ($50 hr). This is a small town airport (KSER) but the airport itself is HUGE!! LOL Used to be a military training field during WW2. How ironic that his name is Lance and his partner is Dakota (Yes they also work on Pipers!!) I would recommend Lance to anyone in the area. www.cherryhillaviation.com Phone: 812-322-6762 -Vic
