Years ago, Kevin Schiff did some general maintenance on my plane, and I had no complaints; however,…read morehe ultimately (mis)diagnosed a suspected crankshaft failure. Per his estimate, the repair would cost between $10000 and $15000, and my heart sank. After some research, I decided to first have the crankshaft thoroughly boroscoped and mechanically examined by an FAA-certified engine specialist before agreeing to such major repair. The inspection cost me a good chunk of money, but no damage to the crankshaft was found. None. I got it in writing, too. I can only assume he was embarrassed about getting it so wrong, as Mr. Schiff quickly advised that he would not work on the plane again in the future. Entirely his decision, of course. I found another experienced mechanic in no time and continued flying my bird for hundreds of hours without any problem. The plane is living out of state today, still flying high - with the same crankshaft.

With almost every repair, Kevin texted me pictures of the repair and parts he fabricated or replaced. If you're in the valley and own a piston aircraft, you can't go wrong with him. Before my IFR checkride he helped to make sure all the ADs had been complied with, placards were in place, and that the aircraft was in tip-top shape. I'm also one of those last minute ADS-B installs, and I'm sure I was more of a pain in his ass than anything, but when I called him a week before 2020 I felt like he wanted to make sure I was ADS-B compliant more than me! He ended up fitting me in on the 30th, and I'm good to fly Jan 2020. Keep in mind that as a PIC and aircraft owner, it's YOUR responsibility to make sure the aircraft is safe and airworthy, no one elses. But if you're in the market for a good mechanic, he'll make sure the wings stay on and the engine runs.
