labor fees too much? Annual inspection question

[Skymaster337B]

Here's a suggestion that might save you half the billable hours...remove everything yourself. There's nothing in the FARs that prevent an aircraft owner from removing parts off his own aircraft. But you will need an A&P to return the aircraft to service...that doesn't mean the A&P has to put everything back-together-again either but is at the discretion of the A&P signing off the work. "Owner assisted" are the only type of annuals I'll do...because I don't want to get my hands dirty, haha. But really it all comes down to time and the fact that I make good money doing other things. It doesn't take an IA to remove nuts and bolts.
