Hartzell Propeller appointed American Propeller Service a recommended service facility. Redding, Calif.-based American Propeller covers a large area of the Western U.S. with its fleet of transport vehicles that offer propeller pickup and delivery services.

“American Propeller and its parent company, Ameritech Industries, have excellent reputations, and we are delighted to welcome it as a Hartzell-recommended service facility,” said Hartzell president Joe Brown. “We have complete confidence that American Propeller’s professional capabilities will meet the needs of aviators who fly Hartzell props on their airplanes.”

To achieve Hartzell’s recommended service facility designation, American Propeller met a number of stringent requirements, including on-site quality systems and process audits and use of factory trained propeller experts. In addition, the shop is required to maintain Hartzell-approved specialized propeller tools and equipment, along with meeting the company’s special process approvals on an ongoing basis. American Propeller is the 22nd Hartzell Propeller-recommended service facility.
