I feel so lucky to have chosen Sonoma Jet Center for my home base on my second trip out west from Alabama in my Piper Lance. I've been to many FBO's in my ten years of flying and I can tell you from first hand experience, this is one of the best places I have ever been. Everyone at the front desk was professional and went out of their way for you. Had to get a new beacon/strobe and the mechanic went out of his way to get it repaired in a timely manner and did an excellent job at a very fair price. Out of all my stops from KBHM-KSTS-KBHM this trip, SJC was the best. The controllers are excellant and friendly. I strongly recommend to any pilot goint to that area, stay at SJC. You won't regret it; they are actually one of the few places that treat all pilots like people and go out of their way to make you feel welcome and at home. Give these guys a try and you won't regret it. I'll be back next year.

The Jet Center provided excellent care for our Bonanza. Arranged rental car the day before and announced arrival 10 miles out on FBO freq to find ourselves being greeted with our rental car at the airplane. Excellent facility with nice pilots lounge and great staff. Received a thank you note via mail after visit. Well done SJC.

A great FBO. I called then night before and got a good deal on a hotel and car. By the time I arrived it was a GREAT deal as they had negotiated the price down for me! Absolutely no hitches - smooth as silk experience. And this is a great area for a weekend fly-in. Wine tasting and good food. And great views of the Golden Gate Bridge and San Fran on the return trip down south. I will be back soon.

Went to the Sonoma Jet Center rather than the other FBO because AirNav comments showed it had a crew car. Good experience used free crew car to go to Healdsburg for a few hours. The crew car was an older van, but it was free, so can't complain!

I stopped at Sonoma Jet Center last Saturday in my Piper Dakota. We were treated as if we were in a corporate jet. I called ahead and they gave me a great rate on a car (go through them directly you'll get a much better rate). Car was driven up to the plane as the engine was shut down. They even asked if we'd like a couple of cold bottles of water to take for the road. Best service I've ever experienced in 20 years of flying. We're going to start making regular stops here to enjoy the coast.

Flew myself to Sonoma today to visit the Charles Schultz Museum. Called the Jet Center to inquire about just transient parking since I didn't need fuel or any services. They told me I could park at the Jet Center, and use their crew van to go to the Museum. Came back at the end of the day to go home, thinking there surely is at least a ramp charge. Everything was free. I log more time in the back of a turbine planes on Part 135 than I log PIC part 91 in a 172. I've been to lots of FBOs. This one is hard to beat. Next time I come up in something that takes Jet-A, the Jet Center will be requested.

Excellent treatment/service! Treated this Mooney pilot like we had a GV. Everything was as it was supposed to be (rental car, prices, professionalism). Probably the 2nd best FBO I have been to in 20 years of flying!

Great FBO. As of early July 2009 access to Kaiser is limited due to construction on the N ramp area - you may find it easier to park at SJC. Not sure when the remodel is scheduled to be done, but appears that it will run through end July 2009.

My girlfriend and I flew in, in a really crappy-rented 172. Joe met us as we taxied in and was very courteous and helpful. The entire staff was exemplary for the entirety of our stay. On our way out, I took a few friends up while my girlfriend waited at the FBO. She was looked after by the same Joe and Marty and a front-desk girl whose name I can't recall (sorry). One of the best experiences I've had. Thanks guys.

Our trip to KSTS was perfect, my wife landed our Mooney M20E and I piloted on the return trip home. We both agreed that the Sonoma Jet Center was likely the best FBO that we have been to, as total service goes plus plus plus. I especially like the option of full an self serve fuel. We had called ahead and arranged for a rental car, we were offered a great "Crew" rental rate by the staff. My wife enjoyed the free flight munchies boxes that were available. The owner and staff should be proud of this top notch FBO. When we return, we will know were to go.

Always love coming into KSTS after a long XC! SJC are very courteous and quick! Decent fuel prices for region, and nice discounts on car/hotel (Enterprise/HGI). Will be back soon!

Flew to Santa Rosa in my rented C172 and was greeted by a lineman who directed me in to their parking as soon as I was off the runway. I didn't need fuel and they were just as friendly as if I had fueled the tanks. I parked right next to a private jet on its way out and I got the same attentive service. These people are great!

Flew to KSTS for lunch today in a 172SP. Lineman was out ready to park me as soon as I taxied off the runway, and was perfectly happy to sell me 7 gallons of fuel (I felt guilty not buying any...). Parking was 500' from the restaurant, lunch was great, and the staff was very friendly when I paid and left. Was charged no ramp fee for my small plane.

I am Chief Pilot for an aerial photo fleet. We have had aircraft based here for nearly two months and counting. Sonoma Jet Center has been one of the most professionally run FBOs I have ever seen. They have our aircraft ramped, fueled and ready on 30 minutes notice. They gave us long-term hangar space for an extremely reasonable rate and a healthy fuel discount. Reasonable maintenance rates for A&P as well as avionics, Beautiful facility with WiFi, computer, printer & copier. Friendly and helpful staff. This place gets a 10.

Great experience. I was in town for a few days recently. I had left something important in the plane. When I called to let them know I needed into the plane, they told me they were just then closing for the night. They happily waited for me to drive to the airport, and stayed to let me in. They did this with a smile. It was very helpful to me.

I had planned a flight down to KMRY with some friends for a sightseeing tour, but the clouds did not break as forecasted so we decided to do a Napa Valley tour instead and land at KSTS. I didn't have time to call in advance or let them know I was coming but they handled our arrival with ease. Upon taxiing into the SJC area, I was greeted by a lineman who helped me park and chocked my wheels for me. He was courteous and quick- it took them no longer than 5 minutes to refuel for me. Inside, the desk staff were friendly, there was free banana bread cake (it was super yummy and the best brain food for a pilot taking a short stop), and free bottles of water. I would be happy to return to SJC again next time I'm at KSTS.

I stopped in Santa Rosa and used the Sonoma Jet Center. The line guys were very helpful. When I arrived and asked for the self-service the line guy said it was a slow day and he would top off my plane at the self-service price. When I paid the charge was for the full service. The desk help did not seem very concerned. However, I would use them the next time.

I've used SJC twice in the past year and was met with exceptional friendly and courteous service. I just received a HAND WRITTEN (wow, don't see that much anymore) thank you note for coming in. My stay was brief, and despite not needing fuel, topped the tanks anyway. In short I wasn't much of a spending customer that day, but they made me feel like I had just parked a 707 needing full fueling and catering services. Big or small, SJC is the place to go in Santa Rosa.

I regularly fly into Santa Rosa and always use SJC. They are professional, friendly, and always go the extra mile. Last night I called to let them know I wouldn't arrive until about 30 minutes after they closed and was wondering how to get off the field. The line guy graciously said he would wait for me and kept SJC open. Now that's great service.

Another great experience here. After returning with the crew car van, with too much onion residual in my mouth from lunch, I was given a new toothbrush and toothpaste after a brownie and a mint. This is a first class FBO.

I stopped for fuel and had trouble getting my Tiger started. The folks here immediately offered to help by removing and recharging my battery and providing some useful advice on what to do. The facility is clean and pleasant with good cookies and fruit on tap.

I had the luxury of using your facility on Thanksgiving Day. Your staff was very friendly and extremely helpful. All the rental car companies had been sold out on large passenger vans. No trouble for your staff they helped us out by lending us the company crew van for the evening. You are the best! Thank you...

Flew in on a Saturday afternoon without any prior warning. They had us in an Enterprise rental car in ten minutes and gave us directions to our destination. They warned us about the high cost of a taxi ride compared to the $40 rental car and they were correct. The people behind the counter and the lineman could not have been friendlier or more pleasant and efficient. I'll always use them when I come North.

The Sonoma Jet Center is one of the finest FBO's I've had the pleasure of visiting in my twenty years of flying. The staff was helpful, friendly and courteous even during a busy Labor Day weekend! My rental car was brought out to my airplane and my bags were loaded as if I just taxied up in a Learjet. I fly an experimental RV-8. The rates were reasonable and I couldn't have asked for better service. I highly recommend this FBO.

For the past six months I have had the pleasure of flying out of STS utilizing the Santa Rosa Jet Center services and I can honestly say they are one of the best FBOs I have ever had the pleasure to work with. The facilities are professional, warm and inviting, but it is the staff that makes my experience so pleasurable. As a corporate pilot, I look forward to working with them three times a week. I am told that a husband and wife team opened this FBO. I am so curious to know their background, because they have opened an FBO with the right formula: professionalism, safety, comfort, kindness and ultimate customer service.

This is first rate FBO! We flew in a couple weeks ago and filled up the gas. However, when we tried to restart, we had a problem with the starter. Everyone there was very helpful in trying to solve our problem. Even the manager himself, who was a mechanic, took a look under the hood. Suzanne at the desk was very professional and helpful in finding accommodations and rental car for the evening.

I flew in with my 206 a couple of weeks ago. They park me efficiently and had my rental car at the plane as soon as the prop stopped. In flying out three days later, one of the mags was grounding out. They called out a mechanic on Sunday for me and he was there in 30 minutes. Had to leave the plane and they had it ready for me on Thursday after sending the mag out for rebuild. Great place and very helpful.

Flew in on a trip from Everett to Oakland with two Skyhawks. Although we did not need fuel, we were treated very courteously and friendly. When I asked the girl behind the counter for change to use the vending machines she guided us to a back room where the whole table was full with snacks and drinks and offered us them, FOR FREE! Oh well, she said, we just had a corporate jet going to maintenance, so we had to unload all this stuff. A top-notch operation, we will definitely be back again!

Flew in last week and stayed overnight. Line crew was great! Friendly and prompt. CSR all of them very helpful with car rental, hotel stay and catering. We stayed at the Hilton four miles from the airport just off the 101 It was a horrible experience and I would not recommend staying here. Was woke up by loud noises from the floor above two hours before my wake up call. Sounded like construction in the room above mine. Staff stated no construction in the building at this time. Asked for a 30 Minute extension on check out and was told "No, we are booked you must leave at check out time. We need to get into the room to clean it" The catering was the best ever but a little on the expensive side. Great breadbasket and cheese dish with eight ham sandwiches $390.00, did I mention it was good! Flying into STS I recommend Sonoma Jet Center. It's a top notch FBO.

We had very good service at Sonoma Jet Center and I highly recommend them. Rented car brought out to plane even before I shut down. In terms of local places of interest, we went to Healdsburg, which has many fine restaurants, and B&B's, and I recommend that as well. Everyone here is very nice and friendly.

Sonoma Jet Center is great! I have flown in twice in the last 60 days, parked at their ramp, bought no fuel and rented a car at significantly reduced rates. Prompt service, a friendly thank-you and no other charges. And, a week later I receive a postcard, hand written thanking me for my visit, both times. I need to make sure and buy gas next time.
