Great service. They treat any squawk like it’s AOG. Great work (again) Bison!

* WARNING* I'm writing this as a warning to anyone considering using Bison Aviation! I contacted the owner John D Atkin IV, in early September and scheduled to have a complete Dynon Avionics suite installed in my aircraft. He sent me the proposal and requested a down payment of $34,000 which I promptly sent him. Since then I have gotten nothing but lie after lie and a complete run around! As of late February he finally agreed to order the equipment, which was supposedly ordered in back in September, from Dynon and have it sent directly to me so as I could find someone trustworthy to install it. I contacted Dynon to confirm and they sent me a list of equipment ordered. I contacted Dynon last week April 27 to find out the status of my order and was informed that they have the order, but it has NOT been paid for yet!!! He will not return my phone calls or emails...

I just underwent a complete new avionics and panel upgrade with Bison Aviation and I am extremely impressed. We are talking all new avionics, new custom panel, new autopilot, new lights, engine monitoring, etc. They did a spectacular job of communicating with me throughout the process of where we stood and answered the many many questions I had. The panel looks amazing and is incredible to fly behind. They did a great job of working with me on the planning phase to make sure I got my dream panel! Mission accomplished it is truly awesome! All the people who worked on the plane seemed to have a genuine love of their jobs and seemed to really enjoy my project, despite the incredible hard work that a project like this takes. What really impressed me over previous shops is that if there were concerns I had, I was able to speak to the owner in a way that we could both understand the others perspective and get on the same page. Like any giant upgrade there will always be fine tuning and a few squawks to work on after. They jumped right on those without delay. I rarely say I would recommend a company, however after my experience I would be happy to recommend Bison for your A&P and Avionics needs. Professional, knowledgable and courteous. Thanks to the Bison team my vintage airplane isn't looking so vintage anymore!

The relationship started off with one of their lead mechanics helping me out after hours when he noticed I needed a hand. So, I gave them a chance at my business with a full LoPresti tri beam kit and Whelen nav/strobes. The owner John gave me a compelling bid and worked with me through it until I was completely satisfied. Since, I've had several after hour questions, one AOG situation, and numerous scheduled maintenance visits. These guys work you in like you're their only customer (really, planes out the hangar door busy), and they bill fairly - for a rate less than the bigger shops.
Licking my wounds from a terrible experience at a Cirrus Service Center at KSAT... I'll be doing all future business with Bison. I'm adamant about it and have already sent several friends over. PS - folks with Cirruses and other fast composites seem to already know about Bison's work, so better hurry and join me in line.
