Maintenance in Reno Carson City Area

[onegreen]

Just moved to Reno Nevada and the annual for my M20c is coming up. Looking for any recommendations for a good shop in the area.

It isn't too far a flight from Reno to Top Gun in Stockton, CA, they are a great MSC

Not specific to maintenance, but there’s an avionics shop in Minden people have been happy with (I have no experience there).  I was based there for a summer though.  KMEV is a good place to look for maintenance and I had a great experience with the city owned hangars there.

Thanks for the reply

Yes , I have used Top Gun for annuals when I was based in the Bay Area, and they are good. I have been spoiled by having a great local shop I did not have to ferry to. Hopping to find a similar shop on reno

Thanks, Avionics is also on my list, and I could use a new ELT. Minden is not to far I will check out the airport

I wish I had something more to recommend for you as I’m from Carson City and I’m there a lot, but I haven’t used any of the shops on the field.  I think there are two in CC, but I’ve never spoken to them.  Stead might be another place to look if you’re in Reno?  Where are you keeping the airplane?

Thanks for the info on Carson. The plane is based at RNO

Do you have any experience with Aviation Classics at Stead, or Advanced Aviation at RNO?
