    I am about 60 miles south of Sacramento in Modesto. I'm really happy with my shop. It is Pacific Aircraft at KMOD. Their phone number is 209-524-1758. The owner is Dick. Also working at the shop are Shane and Paul. All are top quality mechanics. They helped me out a lot when I bought my plane. I hope this helps.

    They have worked on my Cherokee Six and do good work.

    Some things to consider looking at on a Cherokee Six
    [ul]If it has a 2-blade Hartzell Propeller - make sure that the hub complies with the AD for cracking (i.e. it's either been replaced with a 'B' model or it has to have the eddy current inspections).
    Check the firewall to see if the plane has had a nose strike - nose heavy landings seem to be a common issue for a not-so-good landing![/ul]
