I am having an issue with a push to talk button and likely a broken vacuum pump in a Mooney M20J. These seem like simple problems and I don't want to pay the LASAR/Top Gun shop rates for an MSC which are $110-120/hour.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a good, cheap, efficient A&P in the bay area or vicinity (eg Sacramento or South, Livermore or West, San Jose or north). I'm willing to consider further out if I get a good recommendation and the price difference is substantial, but unless the problem can be fixed the same day, it means figuring out a way to get back to San Francisco and then back again to the mechanic.
I suppose the central valley would also work as they have the Amtrak Train back to SF.
The ideal is I fly somewhere in the AM, they fix it and give it back to me, and I fly it home in the PM.
I called the guy at Davis, his shop rate is $100/hr and very backed up so he's out. Sundance at KOAK is out, I've had really bad experiences with them.
