Great job from Kevin and his team!

Mike Kenny    KAPA - Denver, CO   

I worked with Kevin Fenske regarding a significant avionics issue with my PC12. He was incredibly helpful and thorough. It was a pleasure working with him and I felt that the billing was extremely fair for the amount of work that was done. The detail provided by Kevin gave me a very high confidence level in the quality of work done by your shop. I would definitely take my aircraft back to the Denver location.

Robert Duncan    KAPA - Denver, CO   

Kevin Fenske was an absolute joy to work with! His communication, follow up & follow-through were second to none. My annual experience was as good as it could be, all things considered, and I'll definitely be back. Thank you, Kevin & Cutter!

Ryan Tracy    KAPA - Denver, CO   

Kevin and the team are fabulous and I appreciate everyone's help. I will highly recommend Cutter Aviation to all my Pilatus friends.

Bill Highfill    KAPA - Denver, CO   

The performance of the Denver team should be the role model for every aircraft service company. The entire team strives to deliver a great experience. Thank you.

Jack Kucera    KAPA - Denver, CO   

I am very pleased with the service. The annual took a bit longer than expected, but that didn't matter as I was traveling anyway. Kevin and his team do an excellent job and the service is exquisite. I appreciate that throughout the year Kevin is available to answer questions as they arise and is extremely prompt in getting back to me. Tim DiPirro and Molly are also very helpful and responsive. I'm appreciative that Cutter took on the Pilatus maintenance

I appreciate that throughout the year Kevin is available to answer questions as they arise and is extremely prompt in getting back to me. Tim DiPirro and Molly are also very helpful and responsive. I'm appreciative that Cutter took on the Pilatus maintenance and opened operations at KAPA. Being Colorado-based, having a facility in the state is super convenient. It makes owning and operating a Pilatus a joy. Feel free to use me as a reference.

Everything was great. Amazing communication, even after hours when needed. Kevin is so helpful and Moly is the same!!!

Elijah Riggs    KAPA - Denver, CO   

Kevin and his team are the model for all Pilatus Service centers to follow. I fly 1500 extra miles to choose his team for their thorough, courteous, and passionate work

Travis Brown    KAPA - Denver, CO   

I've been working with Cutter APA for a few months now. I've been very impressed with the cleanliness of the facility and the professionalism of the staff. Kevin and Molly have been great to work with and I am pleased with the work that has been completed on our plane. I can speak for the owner of the plane as well and say we're happy to be doing business with Cutter Aviation and look forward to continuing the relationship.

Chris Hannah    KAPA - Denver, CO   

The work was well thought and executed, and in a timely manner. Kevin Fenske is an excellent representative of your company. His progress reports and explanations for the work performed were well prepared. He definitely puts customer experience at the top of his work. We'll definitely be back at this facility in the future.

Dante Edwards    KAPA - Denver, CO   

The reason we travel to KAPA Cutter is for the service. Kevin and the crew there have been great to us. I recommend KAPA Cutter to every PC-12 owner I meet. Cutter and Mr. Fenske should be the models of that representation. Thanks again.

Von B, LLC    KAPA - Denver, CO   

Nothing comes to mind at the current time. Overall project went very smooth, communication was daily or as required, labor and component pricing was fair. During regular shop visits and unexpected drop-ins, the technical staff was active and working on our aircraft, visual shop aesthetics was as expected from a client's perspective (clean and well organized). Excellent job to the Cutter APA Team. Thank you!

William Highfill    KAPA - Denver, CO   

Thank you for your assistance in getting our aircraft fixed. The expert troubleshooting by Carl coupled with Ryan’s ability to get the needed relays to Cutter Aviation at Centennial Airport resulted in an incredibly fast turn around for our aircraft. Of course, the expert maintenance support at Cutter from Mark who did the work and the rest of Kevin’s team who ensured the paperwork was completed correctly and the aircraft returned to service! The end result was we were in

Of course, the expert maintenance support at Cutter from Mark who did the work and the rest of Kevin’s team who ensured the paperwork was completed correctly and the aircraft returned to service! The end result was we were in the air by 5:00pm headed into the search area. We will attempt another search today, weather permitting and again tomorrow as the weather improves. Thanks again for your help!

Kevin is a wonderful example of what the perfect maintenance experience should be. Wonderful communication, billing completely as expected, wonderful feedback on work performed, volunteered to help assure our problem was resolved moving forward... just an absolutely wonderful experience. Thank you for being a beacon of hope in the maintenance industry!!! Night and day difference here at Cutter Denver.

My experiences with Cutter Aviation, especially Kevin Fenske, have always been top-notch from start to finish. Communication is very important to me and Kevin's conversations with me have never been anything other than frank & fair, regardless of what issue my aircraft was facing at that particular time. In this day & age where Customer Service sometimes seems to be a lost art, Kevin, Molly & the rest of their team at Cutter APA have earned my gold star. Thanks

Very professional maintenance team at Cutter APA

Tim Ochsner    KAPA - Denver, CO   

Please change nothing ... Kevin made our experience beyond any expectations we had hoped for. This aircraft was our first ( a pc12). So our first experience came with a bit of trepidation. Until we met Kevin. Every detail was communicated effectively and clearly. I came from a corporate background, where customer service is everything. I managed 1200 employees, and almost 1.5b in sales. And we spent millions on customer service training. Not sure how Kevin was trained, but whatever

Thanks for fitting us in

James MacGregor    KAPA - Denver, CO   

They did a good job all around I was kept up to date and informed of any issues. The shop and Kevin I think did a great job.

Shaun Dwyer    KAPA - Denver, CO   

Change Nothing! it was all perfect!

Ronnie Gilley    KAPA - Denver, CO   

Both Kevin and Molly established really good expectations during our maintenance input. Communication was a priority of theirs. I was able to watch the progress of our annual mx visit, which was important for this new aviation manager. We were out on time to make our first trip scheduled after maintenance as well.

Jeff Lindstrom    KAPA - Denver, CO   

Steven Barrios, Kevin, Molly, and the whole team at APA went above and beyond. Thanks!

Bijan Maleki    KAPA - Denver, CO   

This is the best service I have ever received in my 15 years in aviation. Kevin does an amazing job communicating status of aircraft and any issues. I received pictures many times during the process. Plane looked new when I picked it up. Thanks for the great team in APA.

Benjamin Dorman    KAPA - Denver, CO
