Hi Folks-
I'm expecting to need an oil change on my Archer in mid-June during a big trip from the East coast to CA and back. Planning to base at RIR (Flabob) while in the area. I know Garsa used to run the DC-3s out of flabob but their website has disappeared. Are they still in business, and would they be a good bet for something as mundane as a Cherokee oil change? Any other suggestions for reputable shops nearby?
Thanks!
 
Don't know about Garsa Air, but Riverside airport is a 60 second flight from Flabob. Plenty of services there. If that doesn't work, Chino is also close by with numerous aircraft repair facilities.
 
Ever think about doing it yourself?

It is allowed by FAA if you own the plane. Did mine in 30 minutes (Archer II) and did the metals sample kit at the same time. You will need a safety wire and wire wrapper but they cost less than an hour of mechanic labor.

I can give you the number of a mobile IA and you can work it out with him. Has a full trailer of tools and workbench. Mobile shop.
