Hey, Steve!
Anyone have experience with Lafayette Avionics or any other avionics shops in the chicago region? I'm looking for a panel reconfig and replacing current avionics with a garmin stack.
 
I recommend SkyCom in Waukesha. They do great work at a fair price. The telephone number is 262-521-8180. JA had done some avionics work on my 310, but I used SkyCom for the GPS upgrade.
 
JA in Aurora did a bunch of work on my 182 and did a great job, fairly priced, and great communication.
 
I had good luck with the Avionics Shop at Rockford Airport. Not sure if they are still in business.
 
A friend is using Rochelle Avionics and seems pleased. I've heard good things about JA too.

I think they're called "Avionics Place." I just talked to Jeff there last week and he was very helpful.
 
I've heard of most of the above, and dealt with a few, mainly Skycom. Nothing but good things to say about Skycom.
 
Mobile Avionics based out of Lake in the Hills airport (3CK)

That is their name and they are open as of a couple weeks ago when I talked to them. They were very helpful over the phone and accommodating to my request to come in late but weather happened and I didn't make it. So other than several local references and a couple phone calls I haven't actually used them.

We ended up going to the scheduled service and waited while he calibrated my ancient NARCO VORs. We were there for about 4 hours.

Also he is doing a GTX345 install for a club plane I also fly, and the estimates beat everyone else around.
