Looking for any 210 owners in central TX that can recommend a knowledgeable shop/A&P for a pre-buy. Efinger was first on my list but he is booked further out than the seller wishes to wait. Any suggestions based on experience would be greatly appreciated.
Pre-buy inspection, C210 central Texas

Anyone familiar with Alpha Bravo Avionics and Maintenance? Considering them for a prebuy/annual if bought and maybe an IFD440 swapout of the GNS430 while there. PIREP’s?

Gus(?) used to be based out of my home drome and may still be. I can neither endorse or bad mouth him except to say we tried to get a pitot static check and he didn’t have the equipment.
Honeslty, if you don’t have a 210 expert, I’d look up Pat at Boerne Stage.
He did some consult work with me when I bought into my partnership and used to be the DOM for the flight school for years.
He struck out on his own when another shop there went under.

I flew out to Leakey and did a preliminary inspection of the 210. I will definitely continue with the prebuy on this one. Well cared for mechanically and great paint, good interior. The panel is dated but it’s days are numbered if the buy goes through. Owen Poirier, Barefoot Aviation, is flying in for the prebuy that hopefully turns into an annual. May be flying it back home next weekend. I don’t foresee any deal killers on this one. Pics if it happens.
