The one time in my life I took my plane to a place with spotless floors,
I was 800 miles from home when a magneto decided to no longer be attached
to the crankcase. I didn't have a gasket or a timing tool with me, so
I had to take it to a shop (Southern Jet Center in Raleigh). They
replaced the gasket, timed both mags, cleaned the engine, and had me on the
road again in an hour. For $100.

I've always been wary of clear-floor shops, but there are good ones out
there that charge a fair price.

Of course, by the time the 6 quarts of oil that were spread all over my
belly dripped off, their floor wasn't quite so clean.
