Pre-Buy at Chicago Executive (PWK)

T64Am22E35

Hello, New guy here. Just made an offer on a Dakota at Palwaukee/Chicago Exec. (PWK). Any recommendations for a pre-buy A&P near the airport would be appreciated. I just moved from IL to WY and am very familiar with the airports near PWK and some of the FBOs.
Thank you and glad to be part of this group!

Hi Tom;

I highly recommend Fly-America at DKB. Talk to Jeff Kohlert. He knows Pipers (and Cessna's and Beech's) inside out, and will give you an honest assessment.

Should be 20 min or less from PWK to DKB in the Dakota.

You can tell him I sent you.

Hi Tom and congrats on the Dakota. Excellent plane! Back in the '70's I was based at PWK and I lived in Arlington Heights before moving to Milwaukee. Also, my Dad was stationed in Cheyenne, WY during WWII. So welcome to Chicago and we're very glad to have you. Make sure you look at my webinar if you haven't owned a plane before. https://piperowner.org/webinar-what-every-arrow-owner-needs-to-know-by-scott-sherer/ Regarding a prebuy, JA Aero at Aurora did mine two years ago and did an excellent job. Contact Bruce Rebechini at (630) 584-3200 or you can come up to south east Wisconsin to Burlington Airport. Spring City Aviation is there and they take care of my plane (excellently, I might add). Contact there is Paul Aydt (262) 342-5003.
