Chandler Aviation is the MSC in Arizona they are at the home drome KCHD. Frank is a good guy. A little expensive, but I've never heard anybody complain about his work. I do all my own work, so all I ever do is buy parts from him. He always has 3 or 4 Mooneys in the shop.

I know a guy who previously contribued on this forum but has since sold his M20K.  I remember him saying he had all the work done at Air-Craftsman in Prescott.  I have heard good things about Air-Craftsman and they do all my avionics work.  PRC is about 35 NM WSW from SEZ, so fairly close to home. At least worth a phone call ...

I moved to AZ from the bay area, but I take my M20J to Top Gun in KSCK (Stockton) and they do good work.

Las Vegas has a great mechanic I use for my 1985 m20k 231 Rocket.

 

PM me and I will send you the info if Vegas is close enough for you.

Sedona is a lovely place with a challenging approach for those who are not used to a tabletop mountain runway.  I bounced twice.  But I bought the hat.  "USS Sedona SEZ CV 3-21"

 

Two days later I heard the story of the Mooney crew that bounced off the end of the runway over the bluff a few years ago. The story was related to me by the owner of that J model.  Today, he is still looking for another Mooney.

 

Enjoy your time in Sedona.  Try and be proficient catching the No. 1 wire.  The world (in that restaurant) is watching every time someone lands there.

A day before I was there in October 2013 a Mooney went off the end of the runway during a go-around attempt. Nobody was seriously hurt but the plane was destroyed.
