Flew into VNY for the July 4th weekend with my family. Lisa was extremely helpful the night before by arranging a great rental car and personally confirming it with me. On arrival, we were expected and enjoyed their nice facility and complimentary cold drinks. As a corporate King Air pilot I experience many FBOs. It's nice to know there is still a place that respects piston pilots as well. Thanks Lisa and staff for a very smooth visit.

Made initial contact about a potential flight into VNY and called Pentastar. Heather spoke with me answering most of my questions and forwarded me to Jim for the rest of the questions. At the end of the phone call we were all booked and ready to go. We arrived one hour early and they were still able to accommodate us without a hitch. We met Lisa at the front desk and she had the rental car waiting. We came back to a fueled and ready to go aircraft, even at 10:00 at night. All this for just a 182 and no ramp fee! Whether you buy fuel or not! Thanks to Jim, Lisa and the whole night crew. You are a class act!

A terrific FBO. Nicely appointed facility, and a great "what can we do for you" attitude. Heather and Richard are a superb team. They even made dinner reservations for us at a great spot. All of this and low fuel prices, too. I'll be back.

First class FBO, hidden around the corner, but the best fuel prices and first class facilities and services at Van Nuys

Heather and Brittany are the best! Always ready to help. Line guys have the plane ready early with the GPU set up. Cars are always taken care of and there beside the plane when you open the door. Hats off to this operation!

I needed to leave my Seneca in the LA area for nine days while vacationing out of the country. The manager at Pentastar quoted a $100 fee for the entire time, regardless of my purchasing fuel. My rental car was at the aircraft as I shut down. The line guys loaded my bags and I was on my way inside of 5 minutes after arriving on their ramp. The faclity was very nice inside and the men's room even had complimentary individual size toiletries. The coffee and soft drinks were complimentary. Upon my return the aircraft was waiting right in front of the building where we reversed the process and were on our way. The fuel, which I did purchase, was also the lowest price at Van Nuys. This is my dream FBO.

Tried Pentastar for the first time on 2-13-08 and found their services to be great. Heather was very helpful and went out of her way to provide for whatever services were needed and the crew were very positive and professional. They offered a quick turn with NO ramp fee and a free GPU with the lowest price fuel on the field. Great Job guys and thanks again. Armando Lewin Sr.

Just spent the weekend in the Valley and parked at Pentastar. I can't say enough about the service. They had a ramp car give a friend and I a ride to the 94th for lunch and they picked us up. Not only did they park me on the ramp for no cost but also when the Santa Ana winds started blowing (gusting up to 50mph!) Jim had my aircraft, as well as another Cessna, moved into the hangar for the night at no charge. This gave me a real peace of mind. I would recommend Pentastar to anyone coming into Van Nuys.

Flying with Coastal Helicopters we land at every airport in the California Southland. Big International airports with massive FBO's and small general aviation airports with Ma and Pops gas, I could tell you stories from awesome help to the worst service from both the big and small FBO's. But I have nothing but the best praise for Pentastar Aviation in Van Nuys!! Every time we land at Van Nuys there is a truck waiting or at least driving up. The line guys are always in a good mood, you have no idea how many times it seems like we are asking for the world just to get fuel at some other places!!! Pentastar guys always ready to get the job done. We usually land at night and the line guy named Travis always is all about the service, he seems to have the whole place under control as all the helicopters need fuel about the same time..... He works the ramp quickly and efficiently and everyone leaves happy!!!! If he isn't running the place he should be. Go Travis! Go Pentastar!!
 

From Dennis Stein on 11-Sep-2007

After many years of using other FBO's at Van Nuys, Mr. Davis from Pentastar contacted me and asked me to give Pentastar Van Nuys a try. We were in need of a very fast quick turn for our Gulfstream IV and Pentastar went above and beyond. Upon our arrival the fuel truck was already standing by as well as a cart with ice, newspapers, magazines and our life rafts, which we had delivered to the FBO. We were fully loaded, fueled, and ready to depart within 15 minutes. Mr. Davis even came out himself on our early morning weekend visit to personally introduce himself and make sure that our quick turn went as smooth as possible. We will continue to use Pentastar for all of our Van Nuys operations.
