General maintenance billing question

@BrettKS, sounds like you got a very comprehensive annual. Your 50 yo plane should be in tip top shape. Pay the bill and thank the mechanic for caring for your plane. It's becoming increasingly difficult to find good mechanics. Nickel and diming them after they have provided their services doesn't help either.

Having said that if you don't feel comfortable find someone else going forward. Communicate and come to an agreement that you want them to perform an inspection and produce a list of any discrepancies with estimates that you will approve or disapprove. You need to do a better job at managing the show.

You obviously missed the part where the OP specifically said not to do something and the mechanic did it anyway.  Seems like the guy was trying to "manage the show" but got screwed anyway.

William, after a decade you almost get used to Peter’s tact(?)... 

Best regards,

Brett it’s social media time. These practices are not anywhere near OK. Identify the shop publicly - our them on Facebook or whatever and you’ll get a response.  File a BBB complaint. Write a letter to Kevin Kramer describing standards that reflect poorly on the moniker of “MSC”.
