From Frank Weissig on 31-Aug-2009
Arrived in my piston single for overnight stay and was treated in a friendly and professional manner, as has always been my experience at Galvin. The weekend fuel discount brings the 100LL price down from the stratosphere, it was over a buck less that the published "Guaranteed" AirNav price, no charge for the parking.
 
From Barry Gordy on 10-Jul-2009
I didn’t have a great experience with their maintenance department. The manager Andy Houle is nothing but rude and never returns calls. I will take my plane to another maintenance shop where customer service is better.
 
From Carl Rossi on 25-May-2009
What an excellent, customer-oriented business. Two examples from this past weekend will illustrate this. When I landed my Columbia last Thursday, I mentioned to Line that I needed oxygen service. The lineman offered to do the servicing immediately, and within five minutes both the oxygen cart and a GPU (to power the avionics so I could read the system pressure gauge without killing the batteries) were brought to the plane and the system was recharged. This morning, about an hour before my scheduled departure, I received a call from the Galvin Line Office stating that Line had noticed my right main tire was flat. The lineman (Scott) had, on his own initiative, inflated the tire and periodically checked it for leakage rate, then met me at the plane so he could review the problem with me and the corrective actions he had already taken. Add to the above the friendly and efficient front-office staff .I could not be more pleased with the service provided by Galvin.

Great service but now are charging $50 to drop off or pick up a passenger. Chocking wheels so you have to shut down and pay the fee.
 
From Carl Rossi on 01-Oct-2008
Fantastic FBO, have been to BFI seven times since mid-June, on every occasion the folks at Galvin have 1) Had my rental car ready to go upon arrival 2) Performed all requested services without having to be reminded and 3) Had my aircraft pulled out of parking and spotted on the ramp, ready to go, at or before my proposed departure time. I could not be happier with the service I have received from Galvin.
 
From Todd Cooper on 11-Sep-2008
Galvin took great care of me. I arrived at 0430 and the rental car was ready. My landing light had burned out on the approach and the maintenance department replaced it without any hassle. I topped off with fuel and without asking was given $1 off per gallon. Not to mention the nice lounge.
 
From Mark Smith on 21-Aug-2008
I have been parking a plane a Galvin for over twenty five years when I come to Seattle. I don't know any place on the planet that has consistent great service. They were so fast and so nice that I was ready to say, enough! Don't spoil me. I must land at lots of grumpy FBO's.
 
From Earl Werner on 22-Jun-2008
Parked plane at Galvin over Memorial Day weekend. Great service as usual. Got free tickets to the Air Museum, a good rate on a rental car, and a $1 / Gal discount for buying Avgas on a weekend. As always, worth the extra cost over the other FBO's.
 
From Patrick Mooney on 27-Nov-2007
Very impressed ...Being a Canadian pilot I am not at all used to the great service, and flying an old Cessna 172R didn't seem to matter. Wow great services; call the toll free number (even from Canada). The only negative comment was we were unsure if we needed fuel as the line staff greeted us.... So we said we need to discuss. They later pulled our a/c away to the side. When we walked to the a/c we said didn't need fuel, When I was taxiing for the active I looked at the gauges and they both read full. Called upon landing and I spoke to Lindsey said they re-fueled 16.7 gal. And that they sometime re-fuel when asked not to. Not a big deal as they mentioned the $1.00 off on sat/sun. But we were a bit too heavy for my liking on take off (we have long range 52 Gal. Tanks and 3 pilots). I gave her my M/C and she faxed me a receipt-thanks. Aside from the above, a very pleasant trip to the field and Galvin's provided excellent resources for ...Not to mention the great free coffee!
 
From Matt Harrison on 20-Sep-2007
DO NOT, repeat DO NOT TAKE YOUR AIRCRAFT TO THIS PLACE FOR MAINTENANCE! We took our C414A there for annual in late March. One of the items was to overhaul the copilot attitude indicator, which was still broken after they "overhauled" it and required another shop visit. We had them look at pressurization too. You cannot rely on them to keep working items in working condition. Their mechanics left a static pressure line off of the pressurization controller TWICE! Andy the "head mechanic" even promised me that the second time wasn't their fault, but we took it to OUR mechanic and of course he found the static pressure line disconnected. To top it off, THEY LOST 7 YEARS OF OUR AIRCRAFT LOG BOOKS! PLEASE, DO NOT GO TO GALVIN FOR MAINTENANCE!

Response from Andy Houle Piston Maintenance Manager Galvin Flying Services, Inc.
Galvin Flying Services respects and appreciates the opinions of all customers and strives to incorporate positive measures based on customer feedback. Galvin also recognizes that its reputation and perceived performances can be impacted by the performance of vendors we do business with, such as the case with the attitude indicator. In addition, Galvin recognizes and stresses the importance of aircraft logbooks as well as their security, both in house and with owners. Furthermore, Galvin takes great care in the handling and return process to ensure that all logbook materials that are provided are returned to the customer.


 
From Igor Birman on 04-Sep-2007
Excellent service. Parked our Archer for two nights and topped off. Gas was $1.00 off since we were there over the weekend. Very courteous personnel, pulled up the rental car to the plane, and the facility itself is phenomenal. Will be back again and again!
 
From Ben Pierce on 02-Sep-2007
Definitely the better of the two fixed wing schools at BFI. You will pay more, but you will get more. Galvin has more professional instructors and customer service representatives. The other place does not have that. Don't put much stock in the positive feedback they got on this page.
 
From Lorinda Forrest & Jim Causey on 21-Mar-2007
We flew our Skywagon into Seattle for the first time to have some new avionics installed. From the first phone call, the folks at Galvin were professional, courteous, genuine and helpful. After asking what waterfront hotel they recommended which would be within walking distance of some good restaurants, they not only suggested the Edgewater but made reservations as well. As good FBOs do, we were greeted warmly when we arrived, our rental car was brought to the plane, and the hotel reservations were taken care of for us (not only did we have a room on the water, the hotel was definitely a real find). Our stay in Seattle wouldn't have been the same without the excellent service provided by Galvin's employees. Thanks much!
 
From Tony Perdomo, Beechjet N87EB on 19-Jan-2007
The entire Galvin Flying Service crew was great on our last visit, even though there was a problem with our pax's rental car, Lisa was very apologetic and accommodating to get them another car quickly. The entire line personnel was very helpful, prompt and had the right attitude. Our hotel reservations were made by them and found out that the rate we were given for coming from Galvin was at least $50.00 less than if we would have made the same reservation over the internet on the hotel web site. Thanks again and keep up the good work.
 
From Jim Ward on 14-Nov-2006
Parked overnight with Galvin last week. When paying for parking, the customer service rep took my credit card, then picked up the phone, dialed, and complained to a colleague about another pilot-customer who had just left. Right in my face. Quite unprofessional.
