flashf16 Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Does anyone have personal experience with either Cole Aviation in Rome, GA or Emerald Coast in CEW/DTS? Would like to get your input on positives and/or negatives. If you'd rather not post negative comments, please feel free to PM me or email me at flashf16@earthlink.net Thanks, Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lahso Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Ryan, I've dealt with Joey for four years, and have been happy with him. Some folks, haven't. I'll be happy to answer any questions you have - good or bad. Just PM me if you want to keep it private. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kris_adams Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Very happy with Joey. In fact it looks like he'll be shipping my engine to Zephyr engines in the next week or so. He saved my bacon more than once when I had issues come up (like an avionics shop that couldn't figure out how to get my gear to retract after working on my ASI). He knew how to fix it without having to look it up in a service manual. Then he proceeded to walk the guy through step by step. Charge to me: $0.00 value to me: priceless (ok little exageration there) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardheitzman Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Great shop. Joey has been working Mooneys for a very long time. I have been to his shop a number of times and nerver once heard a bad comment. There will always be good and bad from every shop but I really have not heard anything bad coming out of Joey's shop and I have known him for years. I would recommend him.

pjsny78 Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 If you are considering Cole Aviation. Please read my post . I would really stay away and look for someone else. In and around Atlanta you have a few to choose from. The comments that I have read after my post are pretty much the same. I hope you don’t make the same mistake I have. http://www.mooneyspace.com/index.cfm?mainaction=posts&page=1&forumid=1&threadid=3930#post49011 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashf16 Posted December 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Actually my experiences with Joey have been very positive, and the opposite of what you posted. It was Emerald Coast down at DTS that wasn't good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjsny78 Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 I can only comment on my one and only experience with joey. I had a very bad experience that could have ended with an accident due to negligence. Again i can only comment on my experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Pleisse Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 You should pm "rbridges".... he just did a $10k job with Cole. He could tell you about Cole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabremech Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 I think it's a great idea to share where good maintenance is performed. It's also a good idea to share some less than stellar performance, but I'd suggest leaving names of these off of a public forum. If you want to know, ask for them in an e-mail or a PM.
