Cbsbama Posted January 8, 2022 Report Posted January 8, 2022 Just relocated to North Carolina and looking for reputable and knowledgeable mechanic for Mooney M20K. Any recommendations or experience to share? Quote
David Lloyd Posted January 8, 2022 Report Posted January 8, 2022 AGL Aviation at MRN, Morganton-Lenoir airport. Lynn Mace. They got a web site with phone numbers. Just search here and you will find a great reputation. 1 Quote
INA201 Posted January 8, 2022 Report Posted January 8, 2022 Welcome to the Carolinas. AGL is always a top vote. Cole Aviation in Dalton Ga is a top vote around here as well. I’d say can’t go wrong with either based on experience and reputations around here. Quote
ToddCC22 Posted January 8, 2022 Report Posted January 8, 2022 I had my last annual done at AGL and couldn’t be more impressed with their work and knowledge. They stay busy so look up the website and give Tamara a call to schedule. https://www.aglaviation.com/agl-home Quote
Amelia Posted January 8, 2022 Report Posted January 8, 2022 An enthusiastic thumbs up for AGL at KMRN. Also, I am very well pleased with John Sanders, at KEDE. Quietly competent, meticulous and knowledgeable, he looked after my 1980 K for several years to my satisfaction, and now does a very good job on my 1999 20 S. It is lovely that his shop is now right across the ramp from my hangar, otherwise I’d be making the cross-NC journey westbound to see Lynn Mace at AGL. Either way, you can be confident of a good, honest job. Quote
carusoam Posted January 8, 2022 Report Posted January 8, 2022 AGL gets great reviews… Cole also gets great reviews… And for a shop slightly North…consider RPM,a great shop, run by Byron aka Jetdriven…. Best regards, -a- Quote
midlifeflyer Posted January 8, 2022 Report Posted January 8, 2022 Where in North Carolina will you be based? Quote

67 m20F chump Posted January 10, 2022 Report Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) Cole did the prepurchase on my plane. Here is a picture of the wing I’m replacing because they didn’t find the spar cap corrosion. Easy to miss expensive to fix. Edited January 10, 2022 by 67 m20F chump 1 Quote

Easy to miss expensive to fix.Yes it is easy to miss… about the only way to catch it on a PPI would be blistered skins. Lynn has found spar cap corrosion on 2 out of all the Mooneys we see - one of which went to the scrap yard, the other we sent to Maxwell for repair. The only thing worse in than calling the prospective buyer is the phone call to the seller Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote
67 m20F chump Posted January 11, 2022 Report Posted January 11, 2022 IDK I didn’t think it was hard to see. Quote

AdamJD Posted January 12, 2022 Report Posted January 12, 2022 AGL sounds great! I'm located in southeast North Carolina and am looking to purchase a Mooney in the coming months. Any recommendation for a good Mooney mechanic in the Wilmington NC or Myrtle Beach SC area? Quote

Mimi seems to know a good one up the coast near Edenton. For a Mooney, that's next door, and AGL is close. @Amelia? 1 Quote
