The OP said he was looking for something in Ohio.


Or "within a reasonable distance." Well, I'll go to Indiana and
Minnesota
for some parts and to Texas too. But as meticulous a job as these guys
do
on engines, I'd not consider Triad that far away from Ohio, particularly
since airplanes have shrunken the continent. OTOH, I believe G&N is
reputable.

Just my opinion, but when you have warranty issues, OH to NC is not
reasonable.
You want a vendor really nearby. Parts is fine, but for an overhaul...
I'll stay
close to home.

Opinions vary. That's mine. I earned my opinion through bitter experience
with a
long-distance overhaul. Never again. It doesn't matter how well-meaning
the
people are on both ends of the pipe. If the pipe is too long, it makes
everything harder to resolve.

Fair enough. I'll go along with that reason for staying close to home.
