With over 32 years of combined maintenance experience, and Coy's 20+ years as The Mooney Mod Pioneer, we pride ourselves as perhaps:

THE MOST EXPERIENCED
Mooney Maintenance & Mod Facility in the world;
Bar None!

No job is too comprehensive, even if it requires disassembly and "trucking" to our gorgeous, high-tech, and well equipped "Mooney specialty" facility

Speaking of M20 "corrosion repairs" & Inspections........

We are also most experienced in repairing and (just as importantly) preventing the dreaded "4130 fuselage tubular rusting/corrosion" primarily due to leaking windows and doors etc. This problem is especially prevalent in M20's which are stored outside (not protected), and still having the "old style" fiberglass insulation installed.

Sadly, this major problem is largely preventable by occasionally properly leak-checking all the fuselage glass (after removing all interior Royalite etc.) and re-sealing suspect poorly sealed windows on a regular basis by a "Mooney Savvy" Mechanic......
Note: This is the problem Mooneys Service Instruction M20-208A&B (8/18/89) refers to as being mandatory.

Actual Current Examples of Mooney Fuselage 4130
Severe Tubular Corrosion
Click on the 3 "thumbnail photos"below (Incl. the one above), for larger dramatic actual photos of moderate to severe (structurally penetrated) rusty 4130 fuselage tubes on a M20J/201.

This problem is preventable by
1) Proper initial M20208 Inspections, 2) Installing the new style "208" insulation & our "Whisper Soundproofing Mod", and 3) Regularly leak-checking & repairing leaking windows thereafter & prior to the problem getting this severe!
Note: This particular 1979 M20J/201 was stored inside since 1988.

Don't Be A Sad Eyed Mooniac...needlessly
Don't Ever Let Your Mooney Have Sad Eyes....
Talk to us before you join the ranks of sad eyed Mooney owners who contacted us after they had settled with their insurance company and repairs done!

Besides being the home of our World Famous OEM factory modifications, STC's, and our amazing Mooney Renaissance Packages (namely for "experienced M20's")
We specialize in "better than new" insurance repairs and restorations (usually) including being able to install our popular OEM Factory F/Glass Belly Mod when doing "gear-up" repairs usually at NO EXTRA CHARGE!

Sadly many a Mooney owner has learned of our ability to make Mooneys "better than before" TOO LATE, after other shops (or their local A&P) have made "stock" repairs! Remember, at little or no extra charge when repairing "gear-up's" (for example), and various other insurance repairs we can add mods or various "up-dates" at little or no extra charge. Amazingly, many times when doing repairs, even some major OEM mods can be incorporated within the repair process at little or no extra charge so your damaged or "incident involved" Mooney can actually be worth more and be a better aircraft AFTER our repairs, than prior

Average M20 Aileron Light/Moderate Hail Repair: $375+/-
(Compares to typical $1,400+ replacement)

Most all shops resort to replacing expensive and hard to get skins and/or using "bondo" to make cosmetic "repairs" to typical "hangar rash" and hail damage. We have special tools and techniques which (once we gain access to both sides of the metal) can be used on most, if not all such damages at less than 1/2 what most shops typically charge. Our repairs are permanent, and do not use any filler or bondo. Many minor and moderate hail damage and "hangar rash" repairs can be facilitated "While U Wait" and do not require costly paint touch-up!

You can ship us your ailerons and control surfaces for fast turn-around-, or bring your Mooney in to our shop. Often times, minor to moderate repairs can be made same day w/advance appointment. Satisfaction is guaranteed or you pay nothing but R&R labor of the affected part(s) or component(s).
Note: Compare to typical alieron skin replacement & re-paint @ $900-1,100+/- each

Don't be a sad eyed Mooniac un-necessarily.
Take a minute to check with us on all insurance and damage repair situations. Many a Mooney (money) tear was shed needlessly simply because the owner didn't take the time to call the experts.

Coy Jacob's Mooney Mart/Mod Squad Complex Is Also Home Of
The Mooney FuelTankologists

We estimate that there are only a handful of Mooney shops in the U.S which approach our experience level when it comes to Mooney tanks. Besides complete strip and re-seals, we also specialize in expert (economical) fuel tank repairs. Unique to our shop, we have designed and utilize our own fuel cell test equipment which guarantees every Mooney leaves our shop "leak and even seep free". Many times, we find a professional "repair" can save otherwise good tanks and consequently save you thousand$
