Anyone know anything about the company? Looks good, but no website for further research.

They have a reputation here for being knowledgeable and reliable.
They rebuild and repair fabric covered aeroplanes through to Navajos and the like.
I have been in their shop and I have only seen good work.
No-one I know has had a bad word for them.

That sounds good! Thanks!

well I know of one big screwup that they did (lost all the techlogs to an A/C.....BUT with that exception (which is being worked out with lawyers) They are a realy great company. I would highly recomend them. But don't belive everything that you hear avcanada, go look for your self, I'm sure you will be impressed. While your there look at all the companies that pay to have their aircraft flown to CYCW to be worked on, rather then use a local AMO out of their own airport. There is no one in the lowermainland (that I know) that can handle the same quantity as them, whiile maintaining the same quality

Ya I was there a few weeks ago, and was impressed with the operation. He has asked for an interview next week at their new hangar in ZBB, so keeping my fingers crossed!

Just kidding, he's a great guy. He just cheats at golf..
