If I could rate a zero I would! This shop will overcharge you!!! Unless you have a ton of money to throw away I would recommend avoiding this maintenance shop.... I took my Cessna 185 in for a annual which ended up costing me a small fortune.... ($8,920.08) to be exact!

They found 97 aircraft discrepancies in their report! (Seriously) and I had a extensive annual done the year before!

When I first took my 185 in for a quote just on the annual without any fixes I was quoted $1,200.00 which seemed fair, but then we they get ahold of your plane look out the list and hours will grow immensely! Oh and BTW the first line on my bill was base rate annual $1394.00 which I was quoted $1200.00 so line one started out on a lie then line two is $165.00 (record research) now isn't that part of the annual?

It saddens me that in a small aviation community there are still shops (like this one) that truly take advantage of the customer!

I'm trying to help out the Aviation community, as buyer beware to stay away from Aero Services. I will attach the 4 pages of the work order for my annual.
First of all the average to install bladders is 8 to 10 hours a piece and if you look on page 3 they have 33.5 hours to install 2 bladders, they originally had 44.4 hours on my bill and we negotiated it down to 33.5 which is still excessive! Second Aero Services sent out my airbox for a complete overhaul and the take off and install for my airbox after it was completely overhauled was 11.4 hours which is extremely excessive. If you look at the entire bill everything is extremely excessive on their hours. Not once was I called into the office to be made aware of the hours that were accumulating. I spent some time and called 3 other A&P/IA's all which said this was extremely excessive. If a person doesn't question their bill it will be extremely high!

This site wouldn't let me post the pictures of my bill, so you will have to look on Yelp!~
