From James W. Whitmore on 12-Jan-2012

 
  First visit to this FBO - usually go to KPSP - selected this FBO based on research on AirNav site, best fuel prices in the area (saved almost $100 over KPSP prices) and hangar availability - I was not disappointed - first time in 45 years of flying I was able to rent a hangar on a daily basis at a very reasonable rate and a beautiful large executive hangar at that! Dan and Amber were very helpful on the phone and in person and took care of my needs. One caution, if you are looking for a good price on a car rental, do your research and shop. Make a call directly to the local office to get all the correct information that you won't get with an online reservation. Off airport car rental companies will not have all the extra fees that on-airport car rental companies must charge and they do add up. Great experience with this FBO and we will return.

  I have been in to Thermal Self FBO many times and each time the service and friendly attitude is the best. I am on the way out there today and Dan is planning to meet the wife, the dog and me!
 
From Steve D Elder on 04-Oct-2011

 
  Great service... Dan met us with our rental car and bottles of water. Follow up was excellent too.... Made sure the car was booked back in even though we dropped it after hours on the weekend. Thanks!!
 
From Jerry Norman, N7081K/N30074 on 11-Aug-2011

 
  Arriving without notice (May 2011)... Dan is always accommodating in providing a hangar for unexpected extended stay... And friendly service with the fuel! Great service at a great price! Thanks!
 
From Dave Meyer on 29-Jun-2011

 
  On arrival Dan was there and helped park us and had the rental car pulled up by the time we were unloaded. Used Desert RentACar, as Hertz had "none available" in the middle of June. Clean car at a good price. Dan very helpful with restaurant advice and directions. Great service, I'll go back!
 
From John R Fulton on 06-Jun-2011

 
  Before I was shut down my Cadillac rental (had requested a compact) was driven up to me and I made a change to use a hangar, was towed to the hangar given a key and thanked. Upon departing the cart came and towed me back to the fuel pumps, friendly friendly place. Without a doubt one of the very best FBOs I have ever visited. Its places like this that cause us all to wonder why aren't they all this way.
 
From Thomas Endriss on 18-Apr-2011

 
  Had a rental car reserved (Hertz). Getting the keys and an assigned tie-down spot took all of 60 seconds. Car was parked right up front and could be driven right to the airplane. Perfect!
 
From Chris Hannah on 07-Apr-2011

 
  Dan and the team run a great shop. They took great care of our aircraft and look forward to going back.
 
From Bill Granewich on 30-Mar-2011

 
  Hardly "self service".... Dan and his gang are terrific! L.A. County Fair Blue Ribbon... Great Jet-A prices, single point, overnight hangar storage, rental cars, etc. This is a terrific deal!! Lear 45 / CE650 / CJ2 / PC12NG
 
From Arlo Reeves on 17-Jan-2011

 
  Dan greeted us at the tiedown with cold bottles of water and helped us get the Hertz rental that had been parked at another FBO. The kind of airport I'd enjoy being based at. Cheapest gas in the area, too. We'll be back!
 
From Cory Scott on 11-Nov-2010

 
  Great experience, flew a Citation in and looking for more reasonable pricing then PSP or the other FBO's in Thermal. Rental Cars were standing by, we were marshaled in quickly, parked in a good spot where we could fuel from. They claim "self serve" but all the help you could want is available. GREAT SERVICE!
 
From Rod McDermott on 10-Oct-2010

 
  Just spent 2 nights at Thermal Self Serve and received excellent service from John, Dan and Amber. They even washed my plane for me while I was in a training class at their FBO. Great folks, great fuel prices, and excellent service.
 
From Jeff Wulff on 01-Sep-2010

 
  All good. Friendly guys with great service and great Jet A price. Thanks!
 
From Glenn Wishon on 24-Mar-2010

 
  Pretty sleepy place on a Sunday afternoon in March. Fuel marked $4.69 but credit card billed for $4.44/gal. Nice surprise. Agree that Cochran is a very painless alternative to KPSP or KUDD, and easy exit from the TRSA.
 
From Walt Catlow on 26-Feb-2010

 
  Came into Thermal for a month stay again this year and Dan was ready with all the usual greetings and help. Even though I was a week early, he found me a hangar and helped me move in within minutes of my landing. This is a wonderful operation with aviation enthusiasts at the helm!
 
From Mike Fletcher on 27-Mar-2009

 
  Nice long runway, not crowded, cheap fuel, and nice facilities. It's a great place to stop instead of PSP.
 
From Roger Pierce on 14-Mar-2009

 
  Nice facility, good fuel price and friendly service. Even the restrooms are clean and well stocked. Thanks!
 
From W. Jared on 12-Dec-2007

 
  Been her twice in the last month & the place is great! Easy Access, Friendly folks & even a tug to move our Lear to a better spot - all at no charge! This airport has that "home-town" feeling not found at many airports these days! We’ll be back! Thank you Thermal Self Serve!
