Clarence Exactly - I used to live in Minnesota- I was North of some parts of Canada. Now I live in Texas and I’m South of some parts of Mecico.

squeaky.stow Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 Hi Peter, I am not aware of any Canadian shops that do this but I just got my 252 back from Weep No More in Willmar MN this week and would rate them a 10 out of 10! It was a six month wait to get it in, but if you want it done right, it is the place to go. I stopped in Sault Ste. Marie (US side) for customs and then direct to Willmar. Paul Beck and his team were very helpful and friendly and arranged to drive me to and from KMSP. Plan to leave your plane for 3-4 weeks. The experience is a bit like getting a new roof on your house. It costs a lot of money and your house looks exactly the same afterwards, but you have the peace of mind knowing that it won't leak for another 20 years! And no fuel smell in the cockpit! Dont go cheap on this. You will just end up doing it again in a couple of years. One word of warning : No tax payable on the job in Minnesota but Canada Customs will ding you for full HST when you bring it home. I am still steaming about that, but you can't fight them. If you want more details I can PM you my email address. Cheers, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like you brought back something tangible over the border. The reason it's not taxable in Minnesota is that it's labor, which Minnesota doesn't tax.

aviatoreb Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 Last year when I flew home from Weepnomore in MN, to KPTD, I literally flew directly over Toronto. SO as far as I am concerned - Toronto is halfway to the best Mooney reseal shop around. Yer halfway there already friend.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forfeiting ones airplane for tax avoidance is more expensive than paying the 13 tax. Clarence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian airplanes use a journey log book which details our flights as well as all maintenance, so it’s hard to deny the event took place. The customs folks are also the ones who will collect the taxes as you re-enter the country, there are tax exemptions based on days out of the country but the value of a tank re-seal is too high. Of course if you have a poker face you can try avoid the tax. Clarence Edited December 23, 2017 by M20Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkofman Posted December 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 TAX! Hate taxes, but hard to avoid. I really do not need the aggravation at the border. They can be tough and difficult What I was trying to achieve with this post was to find someone locally to do a little work on this over the next few months as the weather is very Canadian at the moment ( which puts a damper on my flying) Thanks for all the hints, and I've talked to Weep No More and I hear they do a great job Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
