I own a 1978 Piper Warrior, which I keep at KWHP. Kevin has always come through for me. He's a competent, detailed and fair A&P.
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. read more
