Chicago Land - Maintenance suggestions?

[SalMCFI]

I see that Byerly in Peoria is a Mooney shop, but does any one have any recommendations for a good shop in the Chicago land area?

Thanks,

Joe Fritzen was at KPWK but moved to Janesville WI at KJVL

Windy City Aviation is still at KPWK and has some good mechanics but Joe is no longer there.

Northwest Flyers at Schaumburg is/used to be a Mooney Service Center

Lastly the folks at Popular Grove Air at C77

a few suggestions...

There is a Mooney Service Center at Schaumburg, Northwest Flyers.  I've never used them but not because I wouldn't.

Quick, easy stuff I've had done by Chicago Aviation Services (Used to be Travel Express Aircraft Maintenance) at DuPage

JA Aircenter at Aurora has worked on my plane.  Good shop, but not cheap. Also, they are authorized CAV Aero installers and good for TKS repairs, and they are a Garmin dealer.

I’ve used Gene at Northwest Flyers, Schaumburg (06C) for a number of years, but he is close to retiring. Honest, good communicator, overall good guy. I think he saw 6-10 Mooneys per year. Nice restaurant on the field, too!
