I am not spoiling for a fight!!! I just don't like being told things are bad
and need to be replaced when they are not and being charged for it if you
took something in for repair and something seemed to be working right and
they told you that is it not working and needed to be replaced and other
things are broken and could not be serviced I bet you would get a second
opinion from another shop before replacing a $1,000 piece of equipment and
that what I did. Seemed like the last shop just wanted to sell me all new
avionics being dishonest to customers is a bad thing.

But you are probably
the type person that if someone ripped you off for a few hundred dollars
or
even thousands you would not confront them. Well I will confront them!

Not at all. If someone ripped me off I'd be ****ed. But I generally
give people the benefit of the doubt. I get the impression that you
are spoiling for a fight with just about everyone you deal with, so I'm
suggesting to you that you lighten up a bit before shops stop dealing
with *you*.

Most of these places have slim profit margins & word will soon get
around that you are going to be more trouble than the few dollars
they'll be making from you is worth.

maybe
the last avionics shop's testing equipment is out of calibration and
don't
know it, it can happen! I know on my equipment for cretin jobs I must
have
calibration certificates for my testing equipment. Is it required some
ware
in the FAR's for instrument and avionics testing?

Of course. Certified repair shops are highly regulated.
