Twin Cessna shop recommendations near STL?

[kep5niner]

Since the last annual, I moved from the KC side of MO, closer to STL. My previous twin Cessna shop was in KS - a great outfit - but they have come under new management, and the prices from the previous year's annual (typical, no significant squawks) over doubled. While I'd like to stick with that shop, their new fee schedule is too rich for my blood.

Can anyone recommend a good / fair twin Cessna shop near STL? Thanks fellas.

Its not really near STL, but TAS Aviation in Defiance OH is highly recommended. https://tas-aviation.com/

Plus, in that 310, not really too far anyway.

Thanks for the response. Yes, I'm very familiar with TAS - probably the best twin Cessna shop in the business. I was looking for something a little more convenient as to mitigate the logistics of having to return via commercial flight, recover the aircraft via commercial, etc. I don't think Tony delivers either That was one thing that spoiled me with the previous shop - the principle AP/IA was more than happy to fly to get my 310, and fly to return it, as he always had other clients' aircraft coming in and out of my old homedrome. Such is not the case with my current location, as well as the newer aforementioned fee structure.

Were you able to find a shop that you are satisfied with? I am in the market for a shop in the area as well.

Thanks.
