Mooney A+P

[Colorado201]

Greetings everyone! I was just wondering if anyone could recommend a Mooney mechanic that you are very comfortable with in the Denver metro area? Thanks a bunch and Happy Holidays!

Arapahoe aero is pretty good, but they're very expensive and will find every little thing.

Thanks Peevee,

 

I figured they were since they are a Mooney service center.

Hold on to your wallet though. Last annual they did for us was 18k

It sounds like they are a shop not afraid to be thorough.  Thoroughness is like "quality."  It has a cost.  My shop is like that.

Yeah, however the guy that runs the shop has said "it's my job to keep the guys billing hours" there's thorough, then there's looking to bill hours.

Wow!  Thats insane for an annual, how much of that was parts? I agree Peevee, think I will be flying mine somewhere else.

Then his reasoning is not what I would accept.

Lots of stuff, mostly labor though. New pucks, New fuel selector, install a new tit gauge, I can't remember what all else. They do know their stuff though.
