I have to say thank you to the ground crew at Chandler Aviation! They are the best! I was working with an instrument student and stopped in after an IFR flight to take a break. We debriefed and filed a return to KAVQ using the facilities at the terminal building. After departing and almost home I realized I had left my wallet and phone at Chandler. The student cancelled the IFR approach into KAVQ and made a uturn back to Chandler. I called the UNICOM and a kind voice responded. I explained my blunder and she asked her ground service to check the areas I had been. Fortunately they found my lost items and responded on the UNICOM. After landing we were met by the friendly staff and the day was saved! One couldn't ask for better service especially in today world. If you are going to the Phoenix valley I would highly recommend the great folks at Chandler Aviation. Thanks gang!

Landed at CHD for a business meeting. Went into Chandler Aviation just to say hello as the day before I had called because I thought they were the airports FBO. Coffee and friendship greeted me in the name of Jeannie. Her and her husband Frank turned out to be what an FBO should always be: helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. Unfortunately they are the repair service at CHD. There does not appear to be a real FBO.

Unfortunately there is not enough space in the comments section to fully describe the great, great service I received recently from Frank at Chandler Aviation. I have owned and operated a Twin Commander for 10 years so I have a lot of experience with maintenance. Frank Setzler in an extremely competent and knowledgeable resource. His work is fast and efficient, and his rates and policies are fair. My plane was stuck in Mexico with a bad cylinder and Frank dropped everything (including a family vacation), arranged a ride to Mexico, and we repaired the airplane. This combination of expert knowledge, practical skill, and unbelievable service is very, very rare. My only regret is that Frank is not based in the SF Bay Area where I am. If you are based anywhere in the Phoenix area it is well worth it to have Frank take care of your machine.

This is a first rate operation. I came in to pick up an aircraft to ferry for a friend and they addressed every concern and question I had. Frank and the crew had done some major repair work to the aircraft following windstorm damage. The office staff was also very friendly offering some cold bottled water for my flight on a hot day. I would highly recommend anyone who desires the best service and results.

I flew into KCHD Thursday March 26, in a borrowed C-182, and asked Ground for an FBO to have some maintenance done. They directed me to Chandler Aviation. I explained to Frank that the owner wanted an oil change done. He got his men right on it that afternoon. Saturday, I flew out of CHD with my wife & on landing at Furnace Creek, I found I had a rapidly deflating/oil leaking nose strut. After phone conversation with the owner, it was decided that I would fly it back to CHD, with no intermediate stops & land verrrry carefully. This was Sunday, so Chandler Aviation was closed. Monday morning I called Frank & he pulled one of his men off another job to fix the strut. I was ready to fly out Tuesday morning! I really appreciate Frank & his crew and their very clean, organized shop. I'd recommended Chandler Aviation. Thanks Frank & crew!

Our friends came to visit Chandler from Ogden, UT. On a refueling stop enroute, they could not raise the gear. They flew from the Grand Canyon to Chandler with the gear down. I called Frank, and asked if he could address their problem, and that they might be in a few minutes after 5:00 PM. He stayed open later than normal, to talk to my friends when they landed, and asked them to tie down in one of his spots; gave Frank the keys. By Friday afternoon, Chandler Aviation had fixed the gear problem, and a few other matters. I cannot say enough about Frank's welcoming, and confident manner.
