looking for central CA A&P

[JamesMooney]

Hey folks. I've been in CA on the Central Coast for about 6 months. Struggling to find an A&P with any sort of availability. Did a few oil changes at SMX, but they can't help with anything more substantial. For instance, to diagnose an electrical issue, they told me to wait until mid-March... I can't ground my plane for 2 months at a time  

Any recommendations for A&Ps with a willingness to take on a new Mooney for regular mx and service - anywhere between LA and SF? (the closer to SBP/PRB/SMX, the better - but understand if I have to travel a bit  )

Thanks

Top Gun is excellent MSC in Stockton 

Absolute Aero in Hayward is full service shop that does a lot of Mooney work but not an MSC

@ilovecornfields uses a mechanic at SBP that has Mooney experience

Darn, I’m sorry Coastal Valley was not able to help you currently. I know recently they lost one longtime employee.  They are booked for annuals out to December as well.

If you don’t mind sharing, what’s your electrical issue?

San Luis avionics installed my ADS-B in 2020 as promised. I thought it was great service. Maybe they can help? Not knowing your electric type of problem though.

Good luck.

+1 for how difficult the problem is…

MS is pretty handy for getting to the next level…

Best regards,

I used to go to a shop in Madera, sorry, I sold the plane and I don’t remember the name or phone numbers either.
