I’m so thankful I ended up finding Joe to do the pre-buy inspection for our Cessna 172. We
have never owned a plane before, so we had no idea about the process of buying a plane. We
also live in San Antonio, Texas, so we had no clue who could do the inspection for for a plane in
Michigan. Joe was extremely helpful through the whole process. He patiently answered all of
our questions, even when some were after hours. The plane was a float plane, and he did all
the work to convert it to wheels as well as fix any issues he found during the inspection. I
believe the seller would say Joe did a great job converting it at a fair price to the owner. He
continued to help us through questions we’ve had well after we bought the plane and brought
it back to San Antonio. In fact, he was the pilot who flew it here for us. He is very
knowledgeable, skilled and trustworthy and hires top-notch mechanics. He runs a well-oil
machined, so to speak. I could go on for pages listing the good qualities of Joe and those with
whom he works. I highly recommend him to any owner of a plane. I just wish he were here in
San Antonio, so he could have continued to maintain our plane.
