The very best maintenance shops do thorough inspections and meticulous maintenance but can also run up shockingly high invoices unless the aircraft owner is actively engaged and keeps the shop on a short leash. Maintenance guru Mike Busch A&P/IA demonstrates exactly how this should be done, using a real-life example of an owner who appropriately declined two-thirds of the shop's proposed repairs, thereby reducing a $25,000 work order to a $5,000 invoice.
