Points to Keep in Mind
1, There is no such thing as a $300.00 thorough, annual inspection. If it is done properly, an annual inspection requires at least $300.00 worth of consumables (oil, filter, etc.).
2, Regardless of which maintenance facility you choose, do your homework. Research the facility for any history of complaints, litigation, etc. Ask the facility if they contact you prior to performing any work on the aircraft.
