Pre-Purchase advice, Raleigh NC area

[Jhj123]

All, 

I am seeking advice for a pre-purchase inspection provider in the Raleigh NC area.  

Also suggestions on items to look out on a 79 M20J would be very welcome. 

I was thinking of using AOPA escrow provider for escrow services and starting with the AOPA contract, any suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks.

I have two favorite mechanics in the area. One is AGL, at MRN, Morganton, NC, a Mooney Service Center, and one is John Sanders, a meticulous A&P/IA currently in Elizabeth City, soon relocating to EDE. Both do superb work, both honorable and reasonable, with accurate time estimates, and call it like they see it.  I’d have one of them do the pre-purchase and the other do the next annual, secure that you would get a thorough, expert, and entirely honest job in both cases.

Best of luck to you!

Oh, just saw you’re on the other coast. In that case it would boil down to whichever one could work you in the soonest.

I would send it to AGL at MRN.  Great shop & people.

+1 for AGL

Based on my recent experience with AGL, I'd recommend them.  Cole would be my other recommendation.

Lynn, Nathan, and Tamara at AGL in Morganton. Great Mooney shop and they do all my work.

AGL is a no-brainer. You van probably see Raleigh from pattern altitude there. Morganton, NC.

Thanks everyone.  I called and spoke to Lynn, super nice guy.  He will confirm scheduling and should be able to accommodate me.
