Prop ECI inspections in Utah?

[Utah20Gflyer]

Hello everyone,

It’s time for another 100 hour eddy current inspection for my Hartzell prop and so far I have two options.  One is to fly my plane to Boise and pay 345 dollars- flat rate.  The other is to fly to Duncan aviation in Provo and pay somewhere between 300 and 445 for the inspection.  I can’t get an exact number from Duncan.  I was told 260 for the actual inspection and 195 an hour for whatever time it takes to get to the plane and write the report.   I’m a little dubious on Duncan because of the variable component.  I wouldn’t expect if my plane was parked next to their building but if they claim it took two hours to write the report I don’t have much recourse.  
 

My question for all of you is - do I have any other options?  I would prefer cheap, fixed cost and close but I am willing to accept reality for what ever it is. 
 

Thanks!

That's crazy, mine have been like $150. I've had 3 in the last 18 months.

I wish I lived closer to Texas!

Redline aviation in Akron Colorado is $100 flat rate.

 Those prices are nuts.

I need one soon as well. We need a map that shows the locations of all the facilities that can do the ECI and their prices like skyvector does for fuel.

Looks like KAKO would be a 3 hour and 15 minute flight.   A bit farther than I wanted to fly but I might prefer to pay for avgas rather than pay more for the ECI.  Thanks for the heads up.

Just to wrap up this thread I ended up using Duncan Aviation at the Provo airport.  The cost was $330.
