Ashe Posted October 11, 2011 Report Posted October 11, 2011 I'm considering a Mooney down by Boca Raton. I'm a bit concerned about a plane that looks like it's spent some time on a coastal Florida ramp, but the price is decent as is the spec-sheet. I'd like to hire a Mooney mechanic to go out to the field and do an onsite assessment to tell me if the thing's worth making an offer on and pulling in for a proper pre-buy. However, Florida seems to be lacking for decent Mooney shops. Any leads on honest, reputable Mooney guys in the area/region would be very helpful. Thanks, Ashe

ree Posted February 20, 2012 Report Posted February 20, 2012 PJ is great but often busy at remote site. Suggest Steve Craft's South Florida Aviation Services LLC FRP, Flies his E-Mooney to your site for one-day service, also less cost than PJ. Call Steve at 772 341 8788 e mail swc5827@yahoo.com.

gregwatts Posted November 19, 2012 Report Posted November 19, 2012 PHIL also flies.....not sure if he has his CFI, but can certainly teach you Mooney

flyboy0681 Posted November 19, 2012 Report Posted November 19, 2012 I'm based out of Boca and used Eddie Roberts (561-633-6147) for my pre-buy. I highly recommend him as he's a Mooney expert. Phil Jimenez did my annual a year ago and also comes recommended. You'll have no shortage of qualified Mooney experts. As for a flight instructor, my partner is a CFII and has been flying Mooney's for 40 years and conducts Mooney checkouts. Send me a PM if you want more information on him.
Parker_Woodruff Posted December 3, 2012 Report Posted December 3, 2012 You'll have no shortage of qualified Mooney experts. That's a debatable statement in Florida. Phil is great and I have heard good things about Eddie (no firsthand experience). Other than that, most of Florida "Mooney A&Ps" are a bunch of self-proclaimed Mooney experts.

fantom Posted December 3, 2012 Report Posted December 3, 2012 Research them ALL, my friends, even those mentioned here. I've seen some shops suggested that I wouldn't send a wayward NJ dentist to.
