DCarlton Posted August 30, 2022 Report Posted August 30, 2022 My mechanic will be of service for a while recovering from surgery. Anyone know any mechanics in SOCAL (KCRQ, KSEE, KMYF, KRNM, KSDM, etc) accepting work and willing to do a M20F annual? I don't have any squawks; should be straightforward. KCRQ only has one fully functioning GA shop left that I know of and they are slammed with flight school maintenance. Any recommendations? Jets and big money now rule SOCAL. Thanks. Yes the mechanic shortage is going to be far worse than the pilot shortage. Quote
