We put one of our club's 172s in the shop on March 1 to get the engine rebuilt and the plane painted. The original estimate was June 1st and it's been one delay after another. The first delay was a month and then a week or two each time. This has kept us from leasing a short term replacement.
I was up there yesterday and there is still a lot of work to be done. None of the accessories are on the engine, the interior is not in, the control surfaces are not installed. He's estimating another week.
Unfortunately the shop is 300 miles away so going in everyday to check on them is not a good option.
What would you do?

I also posted this at AOPA, I'm getting desparate.
