Diamond mechanic in Bay Area

Post by rafi_k »

New pilot here, planning to buy a 2004-2006 DA40. Does anyone have recommendations for a mechanic in the bay area, ideally someone who would be okay with owner assisted maintenances? My home airport is KPAO.

Absolute Aero @ KHWD
They are the Diamond certified service center and have been working on my 2005 DA40 for many years.
Not sure if they accept the owner-assisted maintenance.

They do, as they did a pre-buy on a DA42 I looked at in the past.

You have a shop on field at PAO that works on Diamonds. No experience with them but worth a conversation

One of the Absolute Aero mechanics answers my questions from Savvy QA and seems very knowledgeable about my 2003 DA40.
