Recommended shops for Mooney annual near Ann Arbor MI?

[brownm]

I've recently relocated to Ann Arbor Michigan, and I'm wondering what local shops you'd recommend to do an Mooney annual. My current shop is now about 4 1/2 hours away so I'm not looking for anything further away. I know there is a MSC in Lapeer, but I'm not inclined to go someplace just because it's a MSC.

Thanks!

I used James Powers at Rapid AIr in Grand Rapids (GRR) for my last annual and was pleased. James was the Mooney mechanic when there was a authorized dealer based there.

Welcome to Michigan.

I have been using Lapeer MSC since 2007. They have taken care of all my needs in a straight forward and professional manner. They are a great group of guys to work with.

Muncie Aviation does good work. They have performed my last two annuals. Very professional and organized.

Thanks to everyone for their recommendations. I'll check those shops.

Are there any other owner members near A2? Where do you get your annuals done?

Thanks

I bought a plane that had been taken care of by these guys.... I wasn't as impressed.....That was ~ 7 years ago and YMMV....mike

Have you checked with Mooney broker in Brighton (Delta, 810-417-9950)? My sister lives in South Lyon and I visit frequently to Y47. My 231 had a problem this year when I was up there, and Delta connected me to a mechanic. Perhaps they can help you. Ray

7 years is a long time ago and this shop could be quite different now. I think it's certainly worth giving them a call and see what they can do or get some more current feedback.
