They also charged me 35$ to put in in my tires. "Dennis O'Connor" wrote That is the key point of information... Time to start shopping for a new mechanic... I don't think that's true at all. $35 to install tires is quite a reasonable labor charge. Of course the owner can legally do it himself - but not every owner wants to. A proper annual on a complex airplane is going to cost $5000 if you drop off the keys and the checkbook. My PA-30 needs 50-100 hours at annual to open everything up, go up on jacks, do a proper inspection, repair all the minor discrepancies that inevitably come up, comply with the recurrent AD's, and button it up again. I can't see that it would be much less for a Turbo Arrow. I don't pay near that much because I do most of that 50-100 hours myself, but that's not something everyone wants to do. Michael
