MooneyNoob Posted July 28, 2021 Report Posted July 28, 2021 Hi all, I'm looking for a reputable A&P to do a pre-buy (and probably install speed brakes) on a late-model M20J. Does anyone know someone within an hour's flight (or so) from there who could do the job? Thanks in advance for the help! Quote
carusoam Posted July 28, 2021 Report Posted July 28, 2021 Welcome aboard Noob! While we wait for an MSer to give great insight to your area of the Mooney world… We can ask Dan / @exM20K who hales from that area… You can also visit the MSC list on the Mooney website… You have come to the right place!

Raptor05121 Posted July 28, 2021 Report Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) I highly recommend the guys at Byerly Aviation in Peoria. They had my plane in-and-out for an IFR cert in a couple hours and were the cheapest. I rolled up at my scheduled time, and they had a tug waiting on me. My plane was pushed into their hangar and they have a lounge on the 2nd floor overlooking the hangar where 4 mechanics descended on my plane and got to work. Very well known Mooney shop. They have a parts dept in-house so I was able to buy some oil and air filters to keep on hand cheaper than Aircraft Spruce. Edited July 28, 2021 by Raptor05121 2 Quote
exM20K Posted July 28, 2021 Report Posted July 28, 2021 Kevin Surrell ran a great Mooney shop out of Flora, but sadly Kevin and Midwest Mooney are gone. @Raptor05121 's suggestion of Byerly would be my choice, too. This pre-buy checklist comes from a credible source. -dan 1 Quote
hubcap Posted August 1, 2021 Report Posted August 1, 2021 The guys at Byerly Aviation in Peoria did all the maintenance on my M20K before I purchased it. The previous owner was VERY happy with their work and highly recommended them. Quote
Brandt Posted August 4, 2021 Report Posted August 4, 2021 Just had some work done by Byerly today. Great experience. Quote
daytonabch04 Posted August 4, 2021 Report Posted August 4, 2021 +1 for Byerly. Had an oil change there and they changed out my spark plugs. Seemed honest and fair. Got to work on it quick. Quote
carusoam Posted August 4, 2021 Report Posted August 4, 2021 Welcome aboard Brandt! Great first post, and pirep for Byerly… Best regards, -a- 1 Quote
