SHOPS THAT TREAT YOU RIGHT and THOSE THAT DON'T...

[MyNameIsNobody]

EASTERN IOWA-

Monticello Aviation.  Brian O. Knows Mooney's.  I have had positive experience with annual and extensive "Other".  Brian has always met or exceeded expectations with quality and price.

[DXB]

Northern GA - Cole Aviation - not cheap, but decent folks who know Mooneys well, care about customers, and stand behind their work.   

[Jim Peace]

C & W Aviation Caldwell NJ.........Sean is the owner and I trust him 100%. They are a MSC.

[Jim Peace]

Lance's Aircraft Service Van Nuys....Works alone, is an IA and works almost everyday from 6 am refurbished my 64c for a reasonable price.

[Bob_Belville]

AGL Aviation Services. KMRN. Very knowledgeable, conscientious, and efficient. Maintains quite a few Mooneys. 

[StevenL757]

Brian Kendrick - formerly DOM of the Mooney factory's service center. Http://www.mooneysupport.net

One of only a few people I trust to work on my engine and airframe.  A true gentleman and surgeon of the Mooney.

Tri City Aero in Kitchener.   Clarence has always be good to my bird (and me)

Had a long chat with Joe Cole prior to buying my Mooney.  Sounds like a real stand up guy.

Kirk Airbase in Lancaster SC...... Jim Kirk (how can you not like a guy with that name for your A&P) actually owned a Mooney for many years. 

[Alan Fox]

Bob Cameron KVAY Crewdawg Aviation , Honest to a fault......

[VWH3RD]

Another one from KVAY Bill Ohara from BP Air worked on my M20J and Ovation for 20 years

Curtis Air in Pittsfield, Maine, 2B7. Not an MSC but really did their homework when they worked on mine. Three Mooneys worked on that I know of. Pittsfield is a well off small Maine town with a construction company that works all over New England. As a result Curtis Air works on a wide variety of aircraft from seaplanes (lots of Cessna 180's) to a bunch of twin Beech. As far as I know they're the go-to service center for vintage Beech D-18s servicing planes from all over New England. A few fabric aircraft as well (tubular structure). Broad experience, attention to detail, and they don't pad the bill.

Yeah, we like having him around here as well!

Henry Weber at KLNS  Lancaster ,PA  a Mooney Service Center is great ,always great service at a fair price . No surprises ,a fantastic group of people doing a superb job. Highly recommend them

[Bennett]

To me, LASAR is the standard to match. Never "cheap", but Paul Lowen and his staff know Mooneys. And Dan in parts is simply amazing. I've been taking my Mooneys to LASAR for over 30 years.

Bender Aviation KCLW Clearwater Florida

Clemens Wolf KZPH independent IA

Second vote for Henry Weber.  Not cheap but very honest and excellent work.  

[Danb]

Weber aircraft for sure on east coast,. 

Don Maxwell eastern Texas.   Two great shops.

[The-sky-captain]

Don Maxwell (KGGG) is a top notch MSC as many here can attest to. Locally I use Twelvestone Aviation (KASG), owned by John Gearheart, who is honest and good at what he does although not a MSC he maintains several Mooneys. I've used Don for several annuals and John for the others as well as small items that pop up throughout the year.

Can we create a registry of Mooney shops with reviews that is searchable? would be a cool feature

I asked for that a couple of years ago. The fear I think was that it would begin capturing negatives and the proverbial sh$t storm that usually brings with it.

I would love to see a list of shops and a simple way for people to vote a single positive vote if they used them and found them fair.

We are very fortunate up here in the Philly area to have two of the best MSCs  just a short hop away.

Weber at LNS and Air-Mods and Repair at N87.  I have experience with both and can attest that Dorn and Dave, respectively, are the cream of the crop when it comes to honesty and Mooney excellence.

Travel Express Aviation Maintenance ( http://www.teamaintenance.com/ ) out of DuPage Airport (KDPA). I can't say enough good things about this shop. They do excellent work and maintain a few Mooneys besides mine. They are a Cirrus and Lycoming Service Center.  I highly recommend these guys to anyone that asks even though I am 100 yards from an MSC in my home base of (06C).

[FlyDave]

I used Don Maxwell for the prebuy on my Bravo. I've also called Don on a number of occasions and he is more than willing to dig into an issue on the phone. Don is one of the nicest people I've met in aviation and if I lived near his shop I'd use him for everything!

At home, Petaluma, CA (o69) I use Mangon Aviation. Ron Mangon is a "tool guy" and has amassed a number of Mooney Specific tools over the years. Mangon isn't a MSC but have a fair amount of Mooney experience.They aren't cheap but they do quality work.
