Jones Barnes at Iredell Air Care at Statesville (KSVH) is fantastic. He was my mechanic for the 12 years that I owned planes (177RG and 210). You will not find a more competent and ethical person in airplane maintenance.
I bought my Cardinal from a guy in CT. He flew it down to SVH for the pre-buy. He was so impressed with Jones and what he found on the pre-buy that his mechanic had missed that he said he would bring his next plane down for annual inspection each year (if he got back into plane ownership, which he did not).
If you go to Jones, or even if you call, please tell him that Wells says hi.
