Good installer in southeast.

[rbridges]

Preferably southeast. I'm asking for a buddy. He has a cirrus sr22 G3. He's wanting to swap dual 430w for avidyne 550/440, new autopilot and transponder. Thanks for any recommendations.

call David Gardner at Rendrag Aviation in Thomaston, GA.   He did a great job with my recent upgrade and other avionics work.

There are (at least) two shops in NC with good to excellent reputations:

Twin Lakes Avionics in Advance/Mocksville and

Sparkchasers in Smithfield.

I've never had a problem with Precision Avionics in Griffin, GA.

Plus 1 for Sparkchasers

Holder Aviation at KPLR has done some good work for me and lots of others in the area. Works on anything from us up to turbine. When my HSI went Tango Uniform he replaced it, parts and labor, for <$1 AMU.

We are probably a little over 1 Mooney flight hour from KPXE.

I have usd Precision Avionics numerous times over the years.  They are good to work with.  Lee

How close is he to New Orleans?  Sonny (Auric Avionics) at KNEW does good work.  He installed my 540.

I'll second that, David is a great guy!

 Rob, I have had great luck over the years with Avionics West  @RYY. They have done a bunch of things to my toga and are about to install a G5. They are honest and reasonably priced.  Most significantly, I have not had a single glitch out of any of the work that they have done.  I have used Sarasota avionics for the Mooney , only because it has an Aspen and avionics West is not an Aspen dealer so they told me at the time that for proprietary reasons they couldn't get the  GTN 650 that I was installing in the Mooney to talk to the Aspen. I have no complaints about Sarasota avionics either, and had my install done at their Punta Gorda shop. I have not had any problems out of their work either. I chose Sarasota avionics because the previous owner had work done there as well, but ideally I would've had Avionics West do it because as I think everyone would agree it is best to have avionics work done as close to home as possible.

I know everyone has different experiences with different shops but I wouldn't let them work on my lawn mower.  They stuff I had to take out and rework when I upgraded my panel was shocking.  Live powered wires just cut and left hanging, four crimps on a 16 inch piece of wire to just name a few.

A client of mine had work done by both Gulf Coast and Central Florida Avionics.  It will end up have most of the wiring replaced due to crappy workmanship.

I have had multiple things done by Thomlinson at KFMY.  Phil and Danny are great.  They are doing a whole new panel for me right now.

I've used Precision Avionics at 6a2 for 6+ years.  Always super accommodating.

Yeah, Precision was at KHMP back when Jackie Black owned it.  I used to go there with my Grumman in the early 2000s.  I'm not really sure when it moved to Griffin.  Been many years though.

[Mooneymite]

Ahhh!

Sparkchasers are way to  expensive 

[bradp]

Don the install an autopilot until the STC AMLs pan out.  :-)

I just got transponder quotes from most of the shops from PA to NC that are recommended - the best ones on the phone were Spark Chasers, Bay Avionics, Twin Oaks and Smart.  

Proximity to home can be important for follow up.  

One of the giant shops in FL did some work on my IAs M20C.  They sent sheet metal screws from mounting something directly through the fuselage skin behind the cowling :-( and "released" the plane in that state.  Not good.

Interesting Kale. I have not heard that complaint. I doubt that Twin Lakes is cheaper. Compared to who?

Actually, Shannon Rivers did my panel when he worked for Robbie Greer @ Twin Lakes 5 years ago. They did a great job.
