Recommendation for pre buy inspection in Scottsdale AZ

Post by abraham425 »

Hi,

I'm looking at purchasing this DA40: https://www.controller.com/listing/for- ... e-aircraft

This will be my first aircraft purchase. I'm in Virginia and the plane is in Scottsdale. Can anyone recommend a good shop around Phoenix to do the pre buy inspection?

Thanks! -Abe

A friend of mine tried that when buying an SR22 in the Phoenix area and was very disappointed. He said Savvy did nothing more than refer him to a local shop.
