How long of a wait for annual?

I know that every airport is different, but typically how much notice and how long do you guys have to wait for the annual to be done on your airplane? My airplane is at a relatively small airport that is privately owned. There are about 93 airplanes there of which probably half are airworthy. I let the on field mechanic know a month in advance that my annual was coming due.

I have been asking for an update as to when he will start on it and I keep getting answers like "we will get it on the schedule". So I am just curious as to what the standard seems to be for giving notice of an annual that's about to expire. Mine expired on 3-31 and he has yet to start on it.

Drive over there ASAP. When you're standing there, it's very difficult to ignore the customer. If he can't get to it in the very near future, ask him to recommend another IA or another shop.
