I'm in the greater Sacramento area and my annual expires end of June. I love my current shop but the owner/IA has lost his 2 helpers and now he's even more behind than usual. I think I could probably expect for my plane to take 2 months (most of that time just sitting and waiting) to get done which I'd really rather avoid. Does anyone have recommendations for shops in the NorCal area for a cessna 182J? I'm not looking for the cheapest annual, I'm looking for quality (as I suspect most of us here are). Public or private feedback is appreciated.

Thanks,
Eric

Eric,

I use Quality Aero at Lodi, 1O3. Bob, Will, and Kelly are awesome, and it is low-overhead Lodi! You can have a buddy retrieve you, Uber back for not much, or take the Amtrak bus if you're of a mind to watch the schedule.

Paul

PS the quality is even in the name!

Eric, I've been using Tom's Aircraft Enterprises at Lampson Field, 1O2. Tom is a 50 year FAA Master Mechanic and IA. His lead mechanic Chad is the best I've had, a true craftsman. Brad in the office is the beat at paperwork, and usually identifies logbook errors and omissions from other shops. They will pick up and deliver, time permitting. 707-263- 9330

Mather Aviation isn’t just for big jets! Eric Burns always took care of me when I was in Sacramento. I would not say it was cheap, but since you value quality, it makes sense to go with a professional operation.
