The reason that I don't use anyone except the four companies mentioned above is that I was tempted by another company and had two engines done by them, I specified and paid for Lycoming cylinders and had PMA items fitted, the engines were back in service very quickly and this was not spotted until later, the result is that both engines will have to have a cylinder change before TBO.
I am lucky having got caught only twice by this but other operators have large fleets of aircraft with this problem.
Why don't I go back and take legal action? The guy has changed the company name slightly and busted the company I had my contract with.
I have no problem with the guys ability to build engines, what I can't take is his business ethics and ability to supply the requested product as specified.
I understand that the business has now been taken over by a reputable company, given the history , the saying about Leopard & spots comes to mind.
