I don't think anyone in the USA is servicing their engines. I have gotten good service from Spain.
Contact them through their website before sending it in.

Jet Munts Americas in CA is servicing their turbines. I have had 2 of my turbines serviced there in the past couple of years. Service was very good with excellent turnaround was my experience

That's good to know.
Besides being very out of date JetsMunt Americas' website just shows a few items for sale and makes no mention about service.

My friend send one there…..it was for a crash repair, so asked for the service to be done at the same time…they didn’t so he had to pay all over to get them to open the motor and do the service…..not too efficient.

I just had two 100’s service at Jets Munts Americas, as in I got them back two weeks ago. The experience was top tear without any issues. In order to get service I reached out to JM Spain and discussed having JM Americas doing the work and all was approved. Pablo is limiting how much he can service at any one time due to personal reasons. So if you get service with Pablo reach out to him and make arrangements as when to send in your turbine other wise he might not be getting to it as fast you one would like.

And hope to see you out at Titusville next summer Papa Stek

Robert

There is no JM service in the US atm, California guy and the South American both threw in the towel. I was helping folks for awhile but then JM put a stop to it forcing people back to the for mentioned or Spain. I heard rumors maybe Chief A/C but I wouldn't hold my breath. I need some parts for my 166 but will just sit on it till there is something local

Fenderbean, Jetmunts was approached about setting up another service center in North America earlier in this spring, but they didn't even respond by email.
Their focus was on service more so than sales but nothing came from this so if you have some inside track I would encourage them to pursue it .
I too own a 166 JetsMunt and the shipping to Spain from here is very high.

This no service in NorthAmerica made me switch to Swiwin engine for my last jet as I can get the parts locally. Love my JetsMunt but lack of needed parts was a deciding factor.

I was already a dealer/service rep for them but the owner felt it was better to go with the now two out of business people/companies. After over two years of being the US dealer/rep they tried to make me go through the for mentioned to get my parts and motors. I told them no thanks because I would not work with said persons based on what I had heard from more than a few phone calls about some lies.
