Da-42 900 hrs inspection

Hey fellow diamond aviators!! So I got a couple quotes for my 900 hr inspection on my 2020 da-42. Like double what I was expecting. Any advice on a good shop that is reasonable? For what I was quoted I might as well replace both engines......not really but maybe one of em!!!
Any help would be appreciated.

The big ticket items for the 900-hour service are the fuel injectors; you have 8 of these. Was there something else that surprised you? You would otherwise expect the usual 100-hour items (oil change, etc.) and the additional 300-hour items (e.g. for the gearbox) you've seen before if you're the original owner. If you're not the original owner (the BL suffix suggests you might not be), then I can see why this particular service interval would be a big, unpleasant surprise.

My fuel injector quote was up there as well. PM me your quote and I'll did through my invoices and see what mine was earlier this year.

I'd be very interested to know if any US/Canada shops would sign off the use of Daimler injectors. That would save a pretty penny! Daimler injectors are <10% of the price of the Austro marked up price. viewtopic.php?t=6686
