Default Devine Air Group (23R,Texas) PIREP

I would strongly recommend NOT using Devine Engine (23R) for ANYTHING! I am still finding problems with an overhaul and interior refurbishment done there in March of 04. And owner of the shop, Bruce McWhorter wont even respond to any of my numerous emails. I have even sent hin distinct photos offering concrete proof of components that were not reinstalled, all to no avail. I spent over $21K, and have already spent over $3500 fixing his omissions and errors. I have even addressed the shoddy interior work.
I would be glad to share photos and details with any interested parties, to save them from a similar fate.

That is interesting. Is that the same shop that does painting? A lot
of folks around here seem to recommend them highly.

One possible thing - they seem to do a lot of biz aircraft, and maybe
they don't pay as much attention to us FLIBs. That's not right, of
course, but could account for the difference in results.

Yes, they do a lot of painting, but on the AOPA site, there are a considerable amount of comments re the paint chipping, coming off, or deteriorating after only one yr. I would just caution you to 'beware' when dealing with these folks.
