Horrible line service. Had 3-4 line guys waiting for us to open our baggage door. Had to be unblocked from the inside first (so that took 5 minutes). When we were able to open the door not one line guy was in sight for 15 minutes. During that time we unloaded 600 lbs of baggage our selves and moved them from the AC location to the FBO terrace. The men's room is older looking but the smell of old urine is nauseating at best. Very, Very Gross. read more

We have come here for years and always had good service. Unfortunately they are now reserving their crew cars for JET customers and no piston aircraft. They wouldn't let us use it to drive five minutes away to get our car at our home. I guess if your not a jet your a second class citizen at Western now. Pretty disappointed as they were always great. Bad policy. read more

Last week I stopped in at Western Flight to drop off a passenger for a few hours. I first called the different FBO's on the field to check ramp fees, and fuel prices. Western Flight had the best customer service over the phone and is a main point on why they got my business. The CSR told me that they would waive ramp fees with any fuel purchase (no minimum), and also was told that if I find a better fuel price they would work with me. So I topped off the tanks which wasn't much from Fullerton. Upon arrival the CSR coordinated a car which was sent for my passenger to meet us on the ramp. Now from a pilots perspective, they have a nice building, small but great pilot lounge with very comfortable lazy boy type chairs, cable tv, the whole 9 yards... When it came time to pay for the fuel, the CSR was even able to get me a discount on the fuel (I can't remember if it was my AOPA membership), but I remember getting a discount. Lineservice was awesome since I think it was around 2-3 different guys asked me if i needed anything, or help at all. Great job, I highly recommend Western Flight when at KCRQ! read more

Amazing FBO! Go here! Back in January it was my first time going to an FBO instead of transient parking, so I called on the phone to ask how the procedure works, they were very helpful and kind, I didn't feel dumb for asking questions. We arrived in a C172. It was a wonderful experience. They waved the ramp fee with a fuel purchase. Even though we were a small plane, we received treatment of a jet. I love western flight and I would not hesitate about returning. Hands down great customer service! I could not have possibly been happier with how things went. I will park here every time I fly to KCRQ. read more

Whether you're looking for part 141 or 61 instruction Pinnacle offers everything in a professionally structured format to meet your needs. The aircraft are well maintained and dependable. In my opinion, this school has the highest quality instructors and ownership at CRQ. Check out their website to gather more information. This is your spot if you're looking to all things related to aviation training, especially if you want to utilize your GI Bill or gain a bachelors degree as a professional pilot while earning your ratings.

Look around- there are better values and more efficient processes for student pilots. Very nice…read morepeople just limited motivation to progress student pilots. Issues future students should be aware of that are unique to pinnacle. First, pinnacle does not allow touch and gos. This maximizes profits by likely lowering their insurance rates. This means you will not get nearly enough landings to gain competency quickly. We spent $25,000 and after 70 hours of flight time, 120 landings and probably another 40 hours of ground time as well as near 22 months w/ no solo approval. Lots of 'stalling' with instructors drilled by the owner to really wait generate more hours billed. Presolo is treated like an IFR checkride. . As soon as we left solo. At a busy airport like CRQ you will spend lots of extra money on the ramp due to unqie no touch and go policy. Pinnacle pays their instructors just a fraction of the total, so on the positive side very nice people and quite a lucrative business with good margins.

From the moment I arrived, their team demonstrated professionalism, knowledge, and excellent customer service. Their pricing is competitive, and their shop is clean and well-organized, which is a major plus for me. The tint quality is outstanding. They use 3M film, one of the most reputable brands in the industry, and the results show it. Definitely shields heat. So much cooler in my car. If you're looking for knowledgeable staff, high-quality work, and exceptional customer service, this is the place. They even followed up the next day to make sure I was happy with the tint and to answer any questions. Truly a great experience from start to finish.

Recently my truck was broken into while I was in Mexico and my purse along with all of my credit cards in my bank card were stolen. This made it impossible for me to pay my storage bill when it came due. I had been on auto pay, but once the cards were killed, that was no longer relevant. Andre went way out of his way to call and remind me that the bill was due, he even let me know how many days I had to work with before a late charge would be assessed once I realize that I wasn't going to be able to use my bank card in time he immediately sent me a form which was super easy to fill out online, allowing my bank account to be linked to my auto pay, and the funds were immediately available so that my items in storage were safe and sound Andre followed up with me to make sure that I had it done if I needed any help he was there for me and just overall compassionate and understanding!

After removing the windshield, JD took the time to walk me through everything, showing me the original repairs that had been done and pointing out the unrepaired chip I had completely forgotten I didn't get fixed. I really appreciated how patient and transparent he was in explaining the differences. Even though the mix-up was entirely my mistake, he graciously honored his original price quote. That level of honesty, integrity, and customer service is hard to find these days. Each interaction he was incredibly responsive, punctual, and had me taken care of faster than I expected. It's so great finding consistently excellent work. The quality of his repairs is outstanding, and you can tell he genuinely takes pride in what he does. He's honest, professional, and makes the entire process easy and stress-free. He even helped me call in my windshield repair to insurance which was great because insurance always confuses me. As an added bonus, my kids absolutely loved meeting JD's dog, Oreo! Oreo was so sweet and friendly that my kids are still talking about him. It's those little personal touches that make the experience even more enjoyable. The office waiting area was super nice and clean. If you're looking for someone you can trust for windshield repairs, I can't recommend JD enough. Between his exceptional workmanship, reliability, and outstanding customer service, he's earned a customer for life. We'll happily recommend him to all of our friends and family, we will for sure return as windshield needs arise.
