No, the airport manager didn't say that.

The airport manager is no more qualified to determine the state of maintenance
of the gear than I am.

In any case it really doesn't matter to the people reading this does it.

It might. GA aircraft suffer far more incidents and accidents than commercial
airliners. One reason is less rigorous maintenance. It's important to make
it clear that much of the additional risk of flying in GA aircraft is
avoidable, and very often GA accidents are avoidable instances of simple
carelessness (or recklessness) on the part of flight crews or aircraft owners.
