I had some engine roughness in a rented Cherokee last week coming home
from Bakersfield. I went back to Mercury Air and they recommended Dave
at Professional A/C, just a few hangars to the north.

Even though I was obviously just a family guy in a rented plane trying
to get home, he treated me as if I were a professional pilot in a
KingAir. Nothing was obviously wrong (we both suspect lead fouling in
the plugs), but he cleaned all the plugs, checked both mags with a
meter, and explained every single thing he was doing and why he thought
it was important. The bill came to less than $100 for about an hour and
a halfs inspection---paid, of course, by the FBO from which I rented
the plane, but if it had been me paying I would have shelled it out
gladly for the peace of mind.

Plus, he just put in a fantastic epoxy floor and has the cleanest shop I
have ever seen, bar none.

BFL is a long way from home for me, but we visit often, and I would
bring any aircraft problems to them before going anywhere else.
