Maybe a good maintenance facility!

I was talking to a facility the other day about PA28 maintenance and was refreshed to hear the views they have and their approach to doing a good job. After seeing many years of poor to very average maintenance on aircraft I was beginning to think that there was nobody capable of maintaining my aircraft. I would not take my push bike to some I have been to.
The lot I went to see the other day seemed spot on and the engineers I spoke to certainly knew what they were talking about, but like many others it may just have been talk talk talk.
If anyone wants to know how I get on then drop me a pm but I will not name the company here, but it's based in the southwest.

What I simply cannot understand is that we are talking about a flying machine here and not a car for example but some of the work I have seen in the past has been seriously wrong.

The CAA should be cracking down on some of these facilities because I am sure poor work ethics have contributed to many incidents in the past, some very serious.
