I used A&E when I had a problem and when I needed a State Inspection and had good experiences both times. When my friend felt that she was being jerked around by a repair company in WMBG I suggested that she call Ed at A&E. He not only explained that her issue was normal wear and not a reason to fail an Inspection, but he did the repair for less than half the cost the other guy quoted her. He looks every job up in the SAE Mechanics Guide and charges what the book says. If he finds anything wrong on the way, he'll call you and explain or have you come down to show you. I talked with Ed a little while paperwork was being done and found that Ed is retired after 20 plus years as a Black Hawk helicopter mechanic. You must have to be a good and trusted mechanic to work on those birds, when they break people die! Ed has proved again and again that he is a trustworthy and honest mechanic and bussinessman. He bought the building his shop is in and is expanding to twice the bays! I asked if he was looking for help and his reply was,""Only if they are SAE Certified Mechanics, only qualified and up to date mechanics work here.""
Pros: Honest Mechanic!
Cons: Ed is good so he is always busy. Call ahead for an appt if you can!
