I use McKee Avionics, in San Marcos. Erik was really good when I had a transponder problem and also did my IFR certification. I didn't have good luck with ACS. My transponder quit on my way from their VFR cert home. It didn't work as soon as I took off after they signed off my logbook.

That would most likely be due to the fact your transponder had issues before you went in for the cert. That is the reason certs are performed. Many transponders have issues pilots are unaware of. When the cert is performed the transponder is ran through a lot of knob turning or button pushing... many never leave 1200 for years. ACS does great work hands down!
