Mechanic recommendation

[AndreiC]

Hello fellow Mooney owners, 

I am hoping to become one of you! I am a 1200 hour private pilot, instrument certified. Most of my time is in Piper Cherokees, though I have some time in a Comanche and a bit in Cessnas. 

I am looking at buying a 1965 Mooney M20C which is located in South Eastern Minnesota. My mechanic is busy for the next couple of months, so he cannot do a prepurchase inspection. 

I am looking for recommendations for a mechanic with good Mooney experience in the general area of SE Minnesota, NW Wisconsin, perhaps NE Iowa. Any names that come to mind?

 

Thank you,

Andrei.

Sorry I don't have an answer to your question, but for $750, you can have savvy Aviation find some maintenance shops and manage the prebuy for you.       It's extra money, and probably kind of big compared to the value of most '65 Mooneys, but it would work.

Welcome to Mooneyspace!  I could make a recommendation if you were here @CYKF, but he doesn’t make house calls.
