New owners took over the only general aviation maintenance shop at Oakland's North Field a few…read moreyears ago and the change has been dramatic. The new owners are very responsive to customers, and their work is high quality. They have two really expert mechanics and supervise a stable crew. I've been using them since they bought the shop for all the repairs on my Commander. As with most aircraft maintenance businesses, at times they get backed up with many planes to work on, but I appreciate that Eric keeps me informed of the status of the work.

This was a wonderful birthday gift from my wife. She coordinated with Mark and found a day that…read moreworks for his schedule, and underlined the importance of timing. But that morning, he cancelled last minute without cause. The weather was beautiful, not just visually, but all the metrics on Foreflight. Gorgeous day for a flight. No refund, even when he cancels, and without cause. We had a year to use the booking. It took the better part of that year to find a gap in work and travels. I reached out with a few months left, but I have not heard back from Mark, even with follow ups. Total silence. In essence, we prepaid for a flight, he cancelled without cause, and he has been radio silent to reschedule. It has felt like a total scam. Buyer beware.

Mark took me out for a spin and much much more. I had a ball…read more Before the flight he took his time explaining everything, and getting a good feel for what I was actually looking for, and what I thought I could tolerate. I am not a pilot, so I just came to experience aerobatics. The first few simple maneuvers (roll and loop) were somewhat comparable to a good roller coaster (e.g. Flight deck at Great America). But having experienced that with a huge grin on my face Mark took it up a notch, ... and another, and another, and another ... Each step he checked with me to make sure I wanted more. In the end, after a wild combination of twists and turns that had me completely disoriented, I did start to feel a bit queasy. But at that point my time was up, and Mark had already announced that it would be the last trick. At no point did I feel unsafe, Mark most definitely knows what he is doing. Add to that that his airplane (extra 300) is 100% build for aerobatics. Yes, with a Stearman you can do tricks too, but if you want the real deal it doesn't compare. That said, the real deal is not for the faint of heart, but Mark would stop at whatever level you are comfortable. All in all an absolutely awesome experience.

We had an amazing experience with our airplane purchase. Robert was upfront, honest, and accessible…read morethroughout the entire purchase. He allowed us to have a pre-purchase inspection and then allowed us to look over every square inch of the plane. We also got to fly it for over an hour to run it through its paces.

I HIGHLY recommend Robert and American Aircraft Sales for either buying or selling your airplane.

I had a free Sunday to get my car smogged and turned to Yelp. I started with shops near my home…read more After 2 failed attempts at finding an open location (places that were supposed to be open but were actually closed), I turned back to Yelp and found Smog King. It was further away from home, but they were supposed to be open, so I drove over. I was really surprised there was no line. I basically parked my car and went inside. I was walked through the pricing, and once agreed, we started the paperwork. It was a snap - basically they do everything - and I sat down and waited. Less than 10 minutes went by and everything was done. Pay via credit card on the terminal and away I went! There was an online coupon for $20 as well, which made the deal even sweeter! Overall great spot for a smog check! Will come back with my other cars and highly recommend!

The experience was quick and easy. We chatted about the process and results. I presented my online coupon, paid, and was out the door. Best SMOG experience ever- they are typically rather unpleasant at other shops in the Pleasanton area. I'll be back! Highly recommended.
