We were in the market for a Piper Saratoga and had been looking for months. We found one through Aircraft Sales Inc. It was significantly nicer than any other plane we had seen. An acute attention to detail was employed for *every* aspect of this plane. The exterior, interior, avionics, and engine were perfect and were exactly as advertised. It is like flying a brand new plane! We dealt with Matt Kozub who was one of the best sales people I have ever worked with. He was honest and upfront about everything. He responded to all of our questions very rapidly and honestly. He worked with us in all aspects of the sale and made the experience truly pleasurable. When I purchase another plane regardless of what I am looking for, I will absolutely call Matt again.

Thanks!

The Aéro-Club des Montagnes Neuchâteloises, in Switzerland and based on the airport Les Eplatures (LSGC) in the Jura mountains, was searching for a replacement Archer for his Archer II of 1978.After a long process in Europe and in the USA, we found the right partner with the right plane for us. That nice guy is Matt.
Dealing with Matt was uneventfull and a pleasure, included the inspection that we wanted to be done by Norm Heldmann and Jim Todd in KPOU. The price was right and the airplane in very good condition, as was predicted. Upon inspection by the Swiss aviation authority's certification branch, the decision was very positive considering that such a nice plane was seldom in the second hand market. We have now flown the plane since 2 monthes and we already love it and are totally satisfied with our purchase. We hearfully recommend Matt to others who try to find the second hand plane fitting tightly to their needs.

Matt, Just wanted to drop a note and tell you and your potential future customers how much I appreciate the ease and professionalism of the entire process of buying a plane from Aircraft Sales Inc. This is my first plane and my experience was limited severely. I found you to be the only person (out of maybe 10 that I attempted to buy from or enquire about a plane) that really showed your knowledge and courtesy towards the whole puchase. It was great to be able for you to have the plane flown from Ohio to Oklahoma so I could have a pre-buy done right here by someone I know and trust. The plane was exactly as you said it was and we only had two minor fixable problems which you made good for right over the phone that day. It was a pleasure doing business with you and when I am ready for another plane I will call you first.

In the Fall of 2008 my wife and I bought a ’76 Lance from ASI and we are very pleased with our purchase. Matt made buying an aircraft a very pleasant experience. He was extremely patient, obliging, and friendly. He agreed to meet with us on a Sunday, spent the afternoon with us answering all of our questions, and spent another entire day with us during a thorough pre-buy inspection, providing assistance whenever required. Being from Canada, there were some extra hoops we had to jump through regarding exporting of the aircraft, and Matt was there every step of the way, doing whatever he could to make things go as smoothly as possible. It was a learning experience for both of us! After-sales support has been tremendous. As with any 30-yr old product that has undergone refurbishment, there were a few minor wrinkles that had to be worked out, and we found Matt to be very fair and accommodating in this regard. He stands by the products he sells. For anyone looking to purchase a high-quality refurbished aircraft at a reasonable price, I highly recommend ASI. No sales pressure, no hassles, just great aircraft and great people!

I just wanted to take an opportunity to thank you for making my purchase of N4384S an excellent experience. From the time that I first spoke to you it became apparent that you knew what you were doing. You were the only seller that provided me the information I requested timely and completely. Once I was satisfied that the plane would meet my needs I contacted you to make arrangements for a test flight and inspection. You accommodated my schedule and flew the plane to where I would be over the weekend. The test flight and inspection went well. You agreed to fix all “squawks” at your expense and did exactly as you said you would even identifying some “squawks” that were not readily apparent on my test flight relating to a problem with the auto pilot.

You fixed everything and were ready to deliver the airplane and had to call me the day before intended delivery to let me know that you could not deliver it since you were not satisfied with the performance of the autopilot and wanted to send it off to be repaired by an expert repair station. The repair station was running behind but you and your avionics person managed to push it through and the plane was delivered the following weekend.

I have since had the opportunity to fly the plane for approximately 8 hours including one 3 hour cross country and, I am happy to report, the airplane performed flawlessly. I must admit that I was surprised by the professional and courteous treatment I received from your company. It seems that you cant’ find anyone who will do business honestly and keep their word anymore. Thanks again. I will definitely be calling you when I purchase my next plane. However, since I

As the proud and very happy owner of a "NEW" Piper Cherokee 6-260 from Aircraft Sales Inc., I would like to inform anyone reading this that you will not find a more honestly run, integrity driven broker of amazingly reconditioned aircraft anywhere. Hank and Matt Kozub should be recognized and praised for their exceptional enterprise. Their conduct in all aspects of business is perfomed in a manner that is seldomly encountered; and I appreciated the "Whole Process" of purchasing my aircraft. From the first phone call, to me being handed the keys, Matt Kozub treated me like I was his first and last customer. Any question was answered, and any of my concerns were quickly addressed. I was promised that "any" squawks would be fixed prior to the closing. I decided to have an annual inspection performed as my pre-buy and the three or four minor issues were taken care of by A.S.I. as promised. A much more serious squawk was discovered almost a month after the closing. All it took to get it corrected was a phone call to Matt and a half day of my time. I flew back to Ohio, where Matt had his expert staff eliminate the issue in about 3 hours. Hank bought me lunch, and they even filled my fuel tanks as compensation for my trouble. Where else can you find such dedication to excellence? The only aspect of their business that may outshine their conduct is their product. My aircraft is a strong, sound, beautiful, safe machine. I am certain that I would not have found another airplane of equal or better value. Anywhere. I sincerely urge anyone seeking to purchase a refurbished single to just make the call to Aircraft Sales Inc. Your search will end when Matt or Hank answers the phone.

I recently had the pleasure of purchasing one of ASI’s refurbished aircraft and I have nothing but praise for Matt and his company. I am a FBO owner, and over the years I have purchased and sold airplanes for myself as well as for customers. I was impressed from the first conversation to the last one. He was refreshingly honest and wanted to tell me all he knew about the TR182 I was interested in. He knew I would be coming from over 1500 miles away and he did not want me to be disappointed, I was not.

When I arrived he had made arrangements for me to do the inspection in the FBO hanger and happily supplied me with any tool I needed. I found the workmanship well above what I was hoping for. I have not seen such a good VALUE in aircraft refurbishment before. I have helped many owners over the years with updating their aircraft and we have refurbished a few ourselves. I can say I found the quality and detail superb and I would recommend if you are looking for a true “turn-key” plane then contact Matt for one of his.

My airplane partner and I decided that, early in our search for a Cherokee 6, we wanted the safest used airplane that our money would buy. Our missions would be long cross county flights with family. Therefore, Garmin 430 was a must, but we also wanted a robust autopilot. However, mostly, we wanted the piece of mind that log books were accurate and that we could trust that engine and prop work could be trusted.
We started our search for an airplane in the usual places; contoller.com, trade-a-plane, aso.com etc. Many planes seemed to be good prospects, based on equipment lists and price. We spent time and money traveling to see a few and were very close to buying one. Yet, we could not get satisfaction on several log book ommissions and walked away from the deal.
Ultimately, when we decided to sign a contract to "rebuild " a C 6 with Hank and Matt, it was for piece of mind, not price. With their experience, we new that they could find the right used plane to refurbish at the right price. Because of their business model and volume, they get better pricing on engine work and painting, as well as interior and avionics than we could get on the open market. The end result is a terrific refurb, that flies great, has wonderful IFR and crosscountry capabilities, and is the envy of everyone on the flight line. Matt and Hank have stood by there product in the immediate post- buy period.

My greastest endorsement of ASI and Hank and Matt is that I would buy with them again, if I had to do it over (and plan to buy with them again when I upgrade to a Piper Meridian in a few years!)
Thanks Hank and Matt! You have a great company. You deserve your reputation as the premier restorers of piston singles

Matt,
The Cherokee 6 260 that I purchased from you last week is awesome. You guys did an amazing job, and I have been getting compliments on it all week. Thanks for flying the plane to me and spending the entire day on the prebuy. I look forward to sharing my flying experiences with you.

Matt,

Well I'm finally getting around to telling you how well we like our airplane (Saratoga N8299V). After taking delivery on July 1st '08 I just put the 100th hour on it today with absolutly no troubles. It was everything you said it was and has been a pleasure to fly. We have had nothing but compliments on the sharp paint job, luxurious interior, and decked out panel. It was a pleasure dealing with you Matt and I don't hesitate to tell everyone who asks, where she came from and who. Keep up the Good Work.

Matt,

Thank you for your assistance in the purchase of my Piper Cherokee Six. Your professional approach to both sales and service provides a unique glimpse into how this process should be handled. During our initial discussions about the aircraft purchase, you indicated that I was really buying something special and that you would stand behind the end product without hesitation. Many people say such things in an attempt to close a deal. You, on the other hand, are a rare exception to the rule as you followed through on your promise. During the "break in" phase following my aircraft purchase, I noted a handful of issues that I asked you to address. Not only did you address the issues raised but you flew me back from Ohio to Massachusetts in a Skymaster and delivered my aircraft to Massachusetts following the resolution of the issues. Now that's service taken to a higher level and you should be commended for it.

I have and will recommend you to anyone that is serious about making an investment in a aircraft they want to own for the long haul.
All my best, Kristofor R. Behn

Dear Matt and Hank:

Just wanted to thank you both for all the help over the years with the selling of my aircrafts and in helping me finding the right plane to fit my ever-changing needs. The enormous details involved in the complete process would have been extremely overwhelming, to say the least. You made the complete process easy and exciting from start to finish!

If anyone is ever looking to buy or sell a plane, I will definitely tell them that Aircraft Sales is the Smart Choice! Thanks for getting me back into the pilot seat, without any of the hassle!

Sincerely,
T.J. Poelking

Dear Matt,

I am one happy camper! I wanted to let others, who are thinking about purchasing an airplane from you to know about my experience.

I just got my check ride about a month before contacting Pristine Air. I was lucky enough to see one of your restored airplanes come into my airport in Apple Valley, California. What I saw was a late model airplane that looked like it just came off the show room floor. Quality paint job, leather interior and updated avionics, GPS, auto pilot....and then I began calling around and found 2-3 other dealers in California who already knew of Pristine aircraft and had nothing but good things to say about Matt Kozub's business, excellent reputation, father/son company who really pleases his customers. When I flew back to Ohio- witnessed the annual inspection being done on the plane, I was truly put at ease in the process of buying a quality used airplane.

If anyone wants to contact me regarding any questions please contact me at (706) 948-4661.

Very Sincerely,
Michael Hinton

Dear Matt,
So sorry this has taken so long to get back to you. You certainly deserve a great testimonial from me as you have earned it. When I first called and talked to you I was still a student pilot with very little knowledge of airplanes. You probably laughed at some of the questions I asked. Long story short I am very grateful for your honesty and good deal. I finally got my ticket and fly every chance I get. For our Utah mountains the 182 has is spectacular. I guess the best testimonial would be the plane just had its first annual by our mechanic and he could not find anything wrong. For meeting a guy on the internet clear across the country, I would say we were really lucky or just plane blessed.
Thank You, Robin Henrie Richfield Utah

Matt: I wanted to take a moment to thank you for all your efforts in support of the purchase of 'Toga 8427C. From the initial inquiry, to the first visit, and throughout the process, your professionalism, timeliness and customer service made a potentially challenging process of plane purchase, from a remote location, a fairly simple one. Clearly, you represent an impressive example of a representative of a company who puts the customer first, provides an excellent product, and is open to creative solutions to logistical issues. I would and have recommended you without hesitation to colleagues who are searching for their aircraft from a reputable dealer.

Kind regards,
Bert

In June of 2007 I purchased a PA32-300R from Matt and Hank at A.S.I. I spotted this particular airplane early in my search for my first
aircraft and loved everything about it! I was reluctant however, because like most I wasn't sure that this was the correct airplane for me. I spent another month or so looking for another airplane with my broker. The Lance we purchased from ASI was all but forgotten. My broker and I chased lead after lead, but ultimately the chase always ended in a dead end. Just about the time I was ready to give up, I received a telephone call from Matt. He told me that airplane that I liked was still available and that I should make the trip to see the airplane in person. Wow! Was I impressed. Not only was the airplane spectacular, but Matt and Hank were great to work with. I would like to say they have become my friends. Our pre-buy went smooth and everything was found to be exactly as advertised. The two minor issues I found with the airplane were fixed before we took delivery! The best service I could expect...period. I am so pleased with my new aircraft; when the time comes when I just have to have a newer, faster model, Matt will be the first one I call. Our experience was as good as they get and my broker was impressed. My airplane turns heads and brings many compliments my way. I feel great about my purchase, and I am sure you will feel the same way.

Dear Matt,

We are 3 partners in our 182Q that we picked up from Aircraft Sales on Octover 31, 2005. We had each owned a plane previously, so we had a specific list of the equipment and quality of the plane that we wanted to buy.

We looked for months and were amazed at the amount of work (time, money and probably aggravation) that would have been required to bring the planes we saw up to the standards that we wanted.

Then we met Matt and our search was over. He had a plane that was partially refurbished and not yet sold. We were able to pick our exterior and interior colors, the equipment list, and other extras that we wanted installed on our plane. It was an effortless process.

We are based in Fort Myers, Fl and since the purchase have flown the plane about 350 hours including trips to the Bahamas, Georgia and New Jersey.

Since purchasing the plane we have only had to spend money on routine maintenance and adding additional equipment.

The plane flies great and performs flawlessly, If we decide to buy another plane in the future, all we will do is call Mattt - place our order- and wait for delivery.

DEAR MATT,

AS YOU KNOW I AM A NEW PILOT, MY FIRST PLANE.
I ALWAYS KNEW I WOULD FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE IN MY OWN PLANE.
I WAS WARNED BY EVERY EXPERIENCED PILOT I KNEW TO NEVER BUY FROM A BROKER OR AIRCRAFT SALES PERSON. THEY SUGGESTED I BUY FROM A PRIVATE OWNER.
WELL,YOUR PA-32 300 CAUGHT MY EYE. IT WAS WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR.
BOY,WERE MY FRIENDS WRONG. BUYING MY FIRST PLANE FROM YOU WAS A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE. I CAN'T SAY THAT I HAVE EVER BOUGHT A CAR WHERE THE SALE WENT SO WELL.
YOUR PERSONALITY AND EXPERIENCE AND OF COURSE THE QUALITY PLANES YOU SELL MAKE IT A REAL JOY.
MY PILOT FRIENDS HAVE TO EAT THEIR OWN WORDS. IN FACT THEY ARE NOW REFERRING NEW AND OLD PILOTS TO YOU IN THE FUTURE.
I AM TRULY A HAPPY CUSTOMER.

THANKS,

To Whom It May Concern:

My wife and I have owned several airplanes over the last 20 years, one of which I even built with my nephew who is an engineer at Cessna, so I am fairly knowledgeable about airplane parts, prices, values, etc. Having always been a “do-it-yourselfer”, and having bought a used car from a “dealer”, I was not too enthused to think about doing so with an airplane.

Realizing very quickly that a good used airplane will hold its value if it is restored to near-new condition, and that it can be done far less expensively by someone who “knows the ropes” as to companies that they use who are fast and experienced, I was pleased to find out about Matt and AirCraft Sales Inc. and the value that they bring to the plane acquisition picture.

They stood behind everything they said they would do, even when things were pointed out after the buyer inspection that needed attention. I would highly recommend their company to anyone in the market for a good used airplane.
