The cheap end of the market is the places that seem to have one bloke & a boy in a small hangar were they in theory look after a large number of very tatty aircraft.
Returning to the Subject of Mooneys if I remember correctly the only special tooling required was a set of jacking adaptors ( that we made in about half an hour on the lathe ) and a few things to check the control rigging that we fabricated. On the whole the sort of thing that any good maintenance shop could put together without too much trouble.
My guess is the hardest part of taking on Mooney maintenance is knowing who is the best parts supplier.

Yes, quite right, AandC, back to Mooneys.
