On the other hand, if you are planning to sell before your next TBO, you
might consider a nationally known shop. In general, I think buyers prefer
an engine by a nationally known shop instead of a local guy they know
nothing about (assuming you want to be able to sell to non-local buyers).
I know when I have looked at engine logbooks, an overhaul by a small shop
that I can't find information on by googling is a turnoff.

Good, valid points.

On the OTHER other hand, most really good planes sell locally without
advertising.

And, of course, assuming you're planning to keep your plane, it doesn't
matter at all.
