Ken4741 Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 I’m in the early stages of looking for a Mooney to buy, M20J to be specific, and I live in the Phoenix, AZ area. Based on my research if you want to fly a Mooney it best be near some experienced Mooney MX folks. Anyone here in the PHX area care to chime in on maintaining a Mooney here in the valley? Thx.

EricJ Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 There are a few good mechanics at Deer Valley, and a Mooney Service Center at Chandler. There's a sheet metal specialist at Glendale, who is highly recommended if you bend anything, that has fixed a few Mooneys (one several times). Generally there doesn't seem to be a problem getting Mooneys worked on around the valley. I don't personally know any mechanics at Glendale, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Taylor Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 Not exactly Phoenix... but we're based at KCMR (Williams, Clark Field) and there's a good Mooney mechanic here, if you want to make an easy flight north. Tom owns 2 old Mooneys himself, actually, so he's both knowledgeable and a fan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
