MSC near NYC

[Ben E.]

Hi Guys,

I'm getting ready to buy my first airplane and have decided to get a Mooney (probably a M20C).  I'm in the NYC area and fly out of KCDW.  Do any of you have a Mooney Service Center in the NYC area (NJ, PA, NY, or CT) that you can recommend for a prebuy and potentially annuals and maintenance going forward?  I know C & W Aero Services at KCDW is a MSC, but the reviews I found online weren't flattering.  

Thanks,

Ben

Lance Keve, a member here, bought a vintage M20E last year from air-mods, he might have had the PPI done by someone else to get an independent opinion but I think he was pleased with his experience with air-mods.

Air mods. No question.

Just confirming.  Yes, I've always had good experiences with Air-Mods (specifically always deal with Shane).  I drop in there a lot as it is close to my father.  If I ever need anything, it is attended to very quickly.  Once when I only had time to drop in to see my father for the day, I was about 20 miles out one of my EGT/CHT went extremely high and then was bouncing all over.  It was the probe of course, and by the time I was halfway to my dad's (15 minute Uber cab ride), they had already troubleshot the issue and called me to let me know.  By the end of the day, a new probe was in place and back in business.  Sure, not needed to fly back home, but helped with peace of mind.

The E I bought was technically owned by one of the mechanics there, not specifically Air-Mods.  It has been performing very well since.  For the PPI, I used a Mooney savvy A&P in the region who was very accommodating.  I'd be glad to share name if someone needs that.  Just PM me of course.

Regards,
Lance

I have used both airmods and weber at knls.  Both are superb and with mooney specific knowledge shops.

That's KLNS, of course.

There's one at Republic who got me out of a bind years ago, though I can't testify as to how they'd be for a PPI
