Western Skyways

"I had an oil pan failure in my IO-470-S which had 6 months of remaining warranty from the overhaul. Western Skyways took full responsibility in resolving this problem to my full satisfaction. I was very pleased the way this entire problem was handled."

"I do pride myself in choosing top quality shops. For a long period of time, I was avoiding WS as a shop to have our piston engines overhauled. It was about 2 years ago that I was asked to use WS and after calling several shops, I was told there were some major changes there and that the quality had improved. I can now say with confidence that the quality of the shop has not improved and if you have any warranty issues (even when they are the ones who damaged the component on the engine) they will not stand behind their product. We have had nothing but headaches and engines showing up with many discrepancies that the customer ended up having to pay for even after paying top dollar for the overhaul. I will not use this shop ever again. I do not recommend this shop to anyone and will never use them to quote the customer. I am truly disappointed."

"I read the negative reviews and just cant understand. I have been doing business with Western Skyways for about 7 years. I've always had a good experience. They have helped me on things that they where not even being paid for. Their turn around time is good and I have been pleased. Too bad only people who have bad things to say are the only ones who comment. I own Blue Skies Aviation (KHYI) and I will do business with Western Skyways again. Tony has always been helpful."

"Terrible engine installation. Got it back home and my mechanic found 4 things wrong with how the IO-470N was installed. The warranty folks paid for some, but not all, of the corrective measures. The engine itself has been satisfactory, but correcting the errors made during engine installation caused much down time and frustration. Six years later, there are still issues. I suggest taking your business elsewhere."

"I am a fellow A&P Mechanic but i still need to learn things and ask for help, and that's exactly why i called the guys down at western skyways. Not only were they courteous and very helpful,, but they also were extremely knowledgeable and my questions were pertaining to different areas like the actual assembly of a particular engine project and then there is the logistic side of the project. So between Nate ware, and Tony bogart i feel immensely more confident and very glad i made the right call."
