TIMCO Aviation Services, Inc. Announces Change in Independent
Registered Accounting Firm 


GREENSBORO, N.C., June 6  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TIMCO Aviation Services,
Inc. (OTC:TMAS) (BULLETIN BOARD: TMAS)  today announced that the Company has
engaged Grant Thornton LLP to serve as the Company's independent registered
public accounting firm for the 2005 fiscal year.  Simultaneously, the Company
dismissed its current independent accounting firm, KPMG LLP. The decision to
change accounting firms was approved by the Audit Committee of the Company's
Board of Directors.

Grant Thornton LLP is a U.S. member firm of Grant Thornton International, one
of the six global accounting, tax and business advisory organizations. Through
member firms in 110 countries, including 49 offices in the United States, the
partners of Grant Thornton member firms provide personalized attention and the
highest quality service to public and private clients around the globe.

KPMG LLP's audit report on the Company's consolidated financial statements as
of and for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 did not contain an
adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as
to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. Further, in connection
with the audits of the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2004, and the
interim period through the date of the change, there have been no disagreements
between the Company and KPMG LLP on any matter of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure,
which, if not resolved to KPMG LLP's satisfaction, would have caused KPMG LLP
to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with
its opinion on the Company's consolidated financial statements for such year.

TIMCO Aviation Services, Inc. is among the world's largest providers of
