Aircraft Magneto Service

Recently had them do 500 hr inspections on my two Slick mags and I couldn’t be happier. The service was quick, reasonable, and Cliff spent a lot of time thoroughly explaining to me what the were doing and why. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

They were very difficult to work with. I would recommend instead using a shop that is an approved/​appointed service center by the manufacturer of the engine magnetos that you want serviced.
I sent them two magnetos, one functioning and one not. They diagnosed the failed mag as having a bad coil. When they finally got parts in stock after two weeks of waiting, instead of replacing the one coil which was on the failed magneto, they decided to replace both of them because they felt that the coil in the functioning magneto was «going to fail in the future». I told them I didn’t want to have that coil replaced, and they then decided they didn’t want to do any work on either magneto and that they will ship everything back to me.
When I shipped my magnetos, one worked and one didn’t. After two weeks, I received two non-​functioning magnetos that were disassembled with the parts from each mixed together in a plastic bag. They also failed to return the protective covers that were installed on the shaft of the magnetos. Overall, they cost me a lot of time, and using a shop that is approved by the manufacturer of my magnetos was not much more cost than their original estimate.
