One other question to that matter could be: Does any one of you guys bring your Coupe in for a 25 hour checkup or a 100 hour checkup as described in the Ercoupe Service Manual ?
Or does anyone do this work himself? How about the 100 hour Lubrication? It includes replenishing fluid in all struts. Is this part of an annual inspection? Or the 300 hour inspection, that lists repacking of all bearings ? So what exactly is the minimum work to be done for an annual? What makes an annual an annual?

It is extremely important and as you have seen, if not done thoroughly and properly, one is worse off than when they took their plane in. As we have unwarranted confidence in our plane because it has just had an annual, when in fact it was in better shape in some cases, before it was annualed. I know there are good and great AP/AI, I just happen to encounter those who are not. Sometime we don't get what we pay for.
