Testimonials

Here is what some of our customers have said about our shop and the work that we do.

BRYAN O.

"I would recommend Premier for ANY avionics you need done. I picked up my Garmin 430 yesterday after having the internal memory battery replaced. It's working like a champ today! The crew at Premier installed my auto pilot and entire panel new about 8 years ago and not ONE SINGLE PROBLEM has ever been encountered. Everything works perfectly as it did from day one!"
