Most Overpriced part or service. Not necessarily most expensive

bushings for inner gear doors.  These suckers were $50 each so $300 total.

I'd say that in terms of pure overpricedness, we have a winner!   The profit margin on those must be over 10,000%

14V Primer Diverter on the TSIO360-  was going for $2,800 when I looked last year.  I see list prices of over $3,500 if you can find them now.  Fortunately you can find 1-2 shops that will IRAN them and even more fortunately Continental SB 19-01 removes this part.

I can give you a great price on a used working one! :)

Heck I did the Mooney back clutch spring SB this past annual to boot. As Bear Bryant would say, “that’s the dumbest Mooney pilot I have ever seen, but he sure is fast.”

Thanks @Bravoman!  I would appreciate that :-)

 International avionics, 972-247-7498. They are the OEM and do the repairs

the kit itself costs over $1,000….my AI removed it from the plane and we shipped it to TopGun and they changed it for 3 hrs labor at $100 an hour...plus they had to replace the manual cable which was an extra $200

How about insurance? $30k+ over time on this m20e that is worth $15-$20k tops? I did stupidly pay $500 for the stall horn switch from Mooney, then found out digikey has it for $5.
