From Eddie Yell on 29-Oct-2009
Visited Tomball Jet Center this week in our Cessna Citation CJ3 for a two day visit. Facilities at Tomball were very nice making this a excellent corporate flight destination in the Houston area. What truly ranks this FBO as outstanding is the quality of service provided by its employees. Some of the absolute best we have experienced anywhere!!! Professional friendly and knowledgeable all define Tomball as a first class operation. This is our second visit to Tomball this year with consistent high quality customer service each time.
 
From Ryan Simpson on 18-Jul-2009
Neat place, great service. Was able to get a mechanic's help right away for small hydraulic problem. Courtesy car available and snack bar located on site.
 
From Jeff Barger on 09-Jul-2009
Great service, the crew car was out and the Lineman let us use his personal car to grab some lunch. Also offered to put portable AC on the plane without being asked. Top notch.
 
From William Watson on 13-Mar-2009
Excellent FBO! Customer Service Reps are very helpful and friendly. The Line Service guys are "Johnny-On-The-Spot" and enthusiastically anticipate your needs and hustle to meet them. One of the better FBO's due specifically because of their personnel!
 
From Robert Andrade on 15-Nov-2008
We stayed at Hooks for five days, it's hard not to fall in love with the people at Tomball Jet Center, and they will do their best to please you with authentic, warm and responsible professional services. Look no further, if you need exceptional service north of Houston go to Tomball and look for Nina, Brian, or should I say all the line guys that are there to make you feel at home. Thanks for the nice stay.
 
From Howard Boyle on 19-Sep-2008
Tomball Jet Center was great when I used them on the 12th. My plane was ready, fueled and the rental car was taken care of. They even had a great deli which was much appreciated. Would absolutely use them again!
 
From Beth Hardison on 23-Aug-2008
What a refreshing experience!! Fantastic ground crew.... Eager to help in any way possible. Excellent a/c wash & detailing. You'll enjoy the southern hospitality, service and relaxing FBO facility they provide.
 
From William H. Meredith on 11-Aug-2008
Called Tomball Jet Center about a courtesy car prior to arrival. I explained I was in a Tri Pacer and just needed the car for 2 hours. They were very gracious. We got the red carpet treatment. Car running with a/c on. First class service. I highly recommend this company.
 
From Bob Nunn on 08-Aug-2008
Five of us arrived yesterday in a Cherokee 6X. Service was excellent. The line guys were prompt to meet us, help us deplane, and offer a courtesy car. They also offered to move the plane into the shade of their hangar and cool it down. Nice, clean restrooms and a comfortable waiting area. I usually come down once a month to bring pax to a doctor's appointment. Tomball Jet Center gives them a "red carpet" treatment and it is appreciated.
 
From Bill James on 05-Aug-2008
Excellent service and very friendly folks. I spent two days at Hooks and the line folks were very interested in my Vans RV-7 aircraft. The fuel price was reasonable and they kept the plane in the hangar -- protected from the hot sun and pop-up thunderstorms. I will definitely use Tomball Jet again! Thanks to all!
 
From Jack Letts on 29-May-2008
Great Service! The rental car was pulled out and running with the AC on when we shut down the engine in our Bonanza. When we returned the plan was in the hangar to keep it cool for our return. You could not ask for better service.
 
From Steve Cartwright on 26-May-2008
Tomball Jet Center is one of my two favorite FBO's anywhere (the other is Colorado Aviation). The folks at TJC are the best-the best and friendliest service in Houston. I get inside parking and personal attention-and I only arrive in a Bonanza!
 
From Pat Grammer on 16-May-2008
I flew in just recently to pick-up a 421. I found that line service was very unreliable and did not have my plane topped off after giving them all night and half of the previous day. I brought this to the front desks attention and they could not understand to top off everything minus the tip tanks. Very bad service. I would not suggest this FBO to anyone.

Response from Bruce Painter, CEO, Tomball Jet Center
Pat Grammer who left a not so nice comment was only trying to get a Fuel Discount. The Service was very good. He was not a Tomball Jet Center customer but was having work done at a local shop Texas Turbines. I waived his overnight fees but that was not good enough. I gave him a crew car overnight without charge. His angle was to get as much as he could without paying for it. I personally dealt with him.


 
From Paul Jelinek on 05-May-2008
I want to commend Nina and her staff for going above and beyond the call of duty in helping us with our stay in Houston. She was very helpful in securing our hotel reservations. The line staff had our client’s car waiting on the ramp on arrival, and when there was no rental car available, they let us use the crew car for 2 days! We will always use this FBO.
 
From Paul Anderson on 22-Apr-2008
This place is great. The line people were waiting for me and guided me to a nice spot. The desk service was friendly and efficient. When my ride didn't arrive Brian drove me to the hotel. I will use this FBO for all my Houston business.
 
From Abel Rodriguez on 13-Feb-2008
Landed at Hooks on Feb 7th. Called them before I took off on my trip to verify that my rental car would be ready when I landed. Gave them the time of my expected landing, and my aircraft tail number. They drove my rental car up to the aircraft as soon as we taxied on the ramp. Brought all paperwork to me at the plane, transferred my luggage etc. It was great!!! Likewise when I departed on the 10th, my plane was fueled and pulled out, and ready for departure. I drove up to the plane, attendants transferred luggage, and took vehicle from me. I didn't have to park it. I highly recommend Tomball Jet Center.
 
From Dave Bassignani, Chief Pilot CJ1 on 06-Feb-2008
We have used Tomball a number of times over the past several years. They always do a great job on hotel and car reservations. Hangar fee and ramp fees are very reasonable. Facility is only a couple of years old, very nice condition and amenities. They strive to be the best. HIGHLY recommend them.
 
From Sargent Caldwell on 14-Jan-2008
Landed 12-30-07 in my 172 I was dropping off a part and was on the ground about 30 minutes. They wanted a $15.00 ramp fee if I didn't purchase fuel.
 
From Danny Dresser on 09-Jan-2008
Tomball definitely makes our jobs as pilots much easier. TJC has excellent services with outstanding accommodations for pilots sitting it out for hours at the time. TJC has a comfortable lounge with an updated computer system, recliners, big screen TV and did I mention the free Star Wars Arcade game. Thanks NINA
 
From Brian Christo on 25-Dec-2007
Service was good. Wi-FI did not work they had a server problem. Pilot room has no land line to call flight service on and the computer in the pilot room does not have adobe on it and had some other issues when it came to printing. I would call the FBO average. It seems they have lost some motivation compared to past posts.
 
From Steven Durrett on 07-Dec-2007
Have stopped in here several times before with great service but my last trip was somewhat disappointing. There seemed to be a great deal of confusion regarding my rental car, both checking out and checking back in. I left fueling instructions upon landing, and when I returned the plane had been fueled, but no one could locate my bill. There were 6-8 people milling around behind the counter but no one seemed all that anxious to help me. Everyone was too preoccupied with the new work schedule that had just been posted; comparing shifts and complaining to one another about the schedule they had been assigned. All in all not up to the standard of professionalism I had come to expect.
 
From Troy Paul on 30-Oct-2007
Arrived on Oct 26 for one night stay. Rental car was not planeside when we got out as had been stated. In fact, the attendant seemed a little surprised I had reserved a rental car at all. Plane was in the back-40 when I arrived to leave the next day. I had even told them when to expect me. No Thank You card either. Not horrible service, just not as great as everybody has made it out to be.
 
From Frank Felts, N775DM on 22-Jun-2007
Tomball Jet is the most refreshing event in "service" I've experienced in years. Great facilities, competent helpful staff, great fuel prices, nice airport ... All in ONE FBO. These people go out of their way to help you. It's worth going out of the way to use Tomball Jet. Thanks you guys.
 
From Rod Wolford on 15-Jun-2007
Fantastic service. First time at Hooks and my wife and I needed a rental car, hotel reservations and general information about the area. All were accommodated with speed, smiles and friendly assistance. The Painter family and staff provided some of the best service I have ever received in an FBO. To conclude a great stay, they had made a professional quality picture of my plane embedded in a personalized thank you note prepared for my departure. When in Houston, I will go to Tomball.
 
From Russ Sanders, Falcon N493S on 12-May-2007
First time in to Hooks, we found Tomball Jet to be a great family-run business emphasizing great service and fuel prices. Amenities included conf-room, crew lounge, onsite deli, competitive fuel and a "can-do" staff. We'll be back.
 
From Jim Stockdale on 28-Feb-2007
I called Tomball Jet Center at 9 am before departing TCL Tuscaloosa, AL. I spoke with Sam (Samantha) I told her I would need a rental car and a room. She reported that she could take care of both. Upon our arrival I found that she had not only taken care of it, she had done a great job! We receive 1st class treatment from the line guy who brought our car around, gave us a map to the hotel, and took charge of our airplane. Even though we were in an Archer and were parked next to a Pilatus, there seemed to be no difference in our treatment. We will be back! I recommend this FBO to anyone coming to the Houston area. The hotel was a new La Quinta for 69.00 per night (special airport rate) even was first class. Thanks Sam and staff at Tomball Jet Center! Jim S.
 
From Jonathan Tack, 36LU on 09-Feb-2007
Last weekend, another wonderful visit to TJC. Cookies were baked for us as requested when I called in, and we were invited to use the front-desk computer to do a little flight planning. Very happy with their consistent courtesy and servant attitude. Third visit. I stop in as much as I can!
 
From Babar Suleman on 29-Dec-2006
Got to Tomball Jet Center on 12/20 and departed on 12/25. The weather turned bad one day and the FBO folks pulled the plane into a large hangar without being asked and they did not charge me for it either. This is one of the best FBO's I have ever visited from top to bottom. Great Service, Great Facility and absolutely the Greatest People!
 
From Gene Fioretti on 14-Dec-2006
Landed at Tomball Jet Center on 12/8/06 and departed 12/10/06. Overall excellent experience. Nice FBO with deli, friendly, rental car brought out to us on the tarmac. Reasonable avgas prices. You have to ask for parking fee to be waived if you purchase fuel. Nice photos of my P210N just for being there. Close to Woodlands Mall. I would recommend Tomball to others and plan to return there my next visit to Houston.
