I’ve known Matt for six years and had never bought a plane from him. He’s always been a good friend and someone to play golf with over the years. I’ve owned several aircraft with my last one being a Cirrus. After complaining to Matt about performance and payload, Matt suggested that I look at his Plan-a-Plane program. The thing people have to under about Matt Kozub is, just because he’s your friend or he knows you, doesn’t mean he’s automatically going to try and sale you a plane. After me laying out my wishes Matt turned around and refined my wish list in order to save me money and ultimately get a better value.
I can honestly say that I now own the best plane I’ve ever owned and I couldn’t be happier. My Cherokee Six is hands down the nicest Six in the world. Matt was awesome in ensuring everything was delivered as promised and on-time. Matt and his dad Hank run a first class operation in which I can confidently recommend their product to anyone.

Matt,
I wanted to take a few minutes and write you a quick note. In regards to my experience with your company, initially I was impressed by your operation when we first met in October of 2009, but being the skeptic that I am; I decided to put off writing a letter of recommendation for your company, until after I put my first year of owning this plane behind me.
I took delivery of my 1985 Saratoga in March of 2010 and I was not disappointed on the quality of the end product that I received. There were a few bumps along the way, with the rough winter up in Ohio and new technology releases that we were waiting on. I appreciate the professional way that you and your company handle the issues that came up and the flexibility that was offered to me.
The plane has been great with very minor issues. I completed my first annual at the end of February this year and have to tell you that not only was I impressed with the condition of the plane and 80 hours of flying this year, but so was my maintenance shop here at LZU. We had very few squawks and ended up with an annual inspection cost that was very impressive.
This is the fourth airplane that I have owned and by far one of the nicest and cleanest I have had the opportunity to fly. It’s amazing that you were able to find an 85 Saratoga with only 840 hours TT on it. I have gotten great compliments on it over this past year. Recently on a trip down to Valdosta, GA, I had a gentleman run out and catch me on the ramp and ask if I bought this plane from Pristine Planes up in Ohio. He recognized the paint scheme as one he had seen on a plane you had completed and after brief conversation told me you were in the process of refurbishing a Saratoga for him. He communicated to me that he had bought the plane with you sight unseen and was a little nervous, but after seeing my plane, I feel he was more comfortable with what he would be getting. Obviously you’re doing a lot of things right if your product is being recognized on the ramp in South Georgia.
I want to thank you for the great job and look forward to doing more business with you in the future. If you have any one who would like to see your work or just talk, please don’t hesitate to send them my way.
Best regards,

I contacted Matt Kozub about the possibility of contracting with Aircraft Sales to buy and restore a C-182. I knew that I did not want to undertake such a project piecemeal. From the first phone call I received professional and courteous care. Matt began our search for my 182 as soon as we signed the contract which was one page and written so even I could understand. Very straight forward. I live in Georgia and Matt found a plane at Peachtree Dekalb airport in Atlanta. I drove over and looked the plane over and looked over the logbooks, gave Matt my rough approval.Matt flew down from Ohio, inspected the plane and logbooks, called me and we both agreed that this was the plane. Matt negotiated the cost of the plane, got a good deal, and flew it back to Ohio. The paint shop started their work the next day. After a beautiful paint job was complete the plane moved on to the avionics shop. Now these folks did a complete makeover. From fabricating a new metal panel to installing avionics. Everything worked from the get go and the work was beautifly done. Matt’s shop was next where the plane received a new beautifull leather interior, new glass and a through annual. Matt’s company pilot flew the plane to my ramp and it was exactly as stated per my conversations with Matt. Throughout the whole process, which took somewhere around four months, Matt and I were in regular contact and all the shops that worked on the plane kept me in the loop with many pictures of the build process. I have a picture record of the whole renovation process. By the time I got the plane I knew everything about it and what it was going to look like from all the pictures I received. I took a leap of faith because I never met Matt or any of the folks that were involved in the rennovation. I read all the testimonials and just felt comfortable every time I talked with Matt. He did everything he said he would do,(which is a testiment to the type of person he is), for the price he quoted me. I found Matt to be a affable, honest person who surrounds himself with skilled craftman. What more could you ask for in a project like mine. I flew the plane up to Ohio to have a sensor replaced and met the folks at the avionics shop, wow!!. They had quite an ongoing business. Again, they performed at no expense to me. I met Matt and inspected his shop. Everything was as I suspected, clean effeient professional work. I would highly recommend Aircraft Sales to anyone who doesn’t want to deal with a rebuild or renovation.

I don’t make big decisions lightly, or quickly for that matter. For over two years I spent a lot of time researching various airplanes, trying to determine the best fit for my needs. And each time I looked at a web site or an ad for a used plane, I quickly concluded the plane needed engine work, avionics work, interior work, a paint job, or all of the above. My goal was to find a reliable, comfortable plane I could fly, and not buy something that needed countless hours of work
Once I learned about Aircraft Sales, I contacted Matt Kozub to learn more about his business – his approach made sense to me and he offered a variety of airplanes. The thing that is different about Matt is that there was no pressure to buy – we had several conversations where I would ask questions, tell him about my flight experience, and explain what I was looking for – in all instances he answered my questions and provided me with useful information as we talked about pros and cons of different planes. I really appreciated the no pressure approach.
Once I decided I was interested in a Cherokee Six, I flew a rental to Wayne County to check it out. I spent the better part of the afternoon climbing through it and kicking the tires while Matt explained the features of the plane. Once I made the decsion to buy it, Matt made the process about as easy as possible. He helped me find an affordable insurance policy, delivered it to me, and even paid for a minor repair the plane needed after I purchased it. He even told me if I didnt like it he would buy it back!
The plane has turned out to be as solid and reliable as Matt’s word. It has no issues of any kind, and is a very stable and comfortable ride. I plan on keeping it for several years as it meets all of my needs, but if I ever sell it or buy another plane, it will only be through Aircraft Sales.

Jim and Aircraft Sales,
Just wanted to drop you a note about the flight home…
The plane flew wonderfully, my first landing was just as wonderful, LOL…
In all seriousness, even though you would not budge on the price, I feel we both made off very well on the deal. I love the airplane and feel it was definitely priced right. Thanks for making the process go effortlessly and thanks for treating Rich and I like Kings. The family loves the plane and that Garmin 396XM weather is worth its weight in gold. The plane looks awesome sitting in my hangar… I will keep you
in mind when friends are looking for an excellent deal…

To customers of ASI:
N166X is my second purchase from Matt Kozub. My first purchase was a few years ago based on just his website and testimonials. I know many of you are reluctant to purchase an aircraft especially from dealers. It seems there is always a story or scare tactic when it comes to purchasing an airplane. I spent a fair amount of time myself checking out aircrafts only to be disappointed by the description or condition of the advertising. Do yourself a favor like I did, let Matt take the workload and worry out of your next airplane purchase. You will get a solid, reliable aircraft with a history of satisfied clients. All refurbished to like new and ready to fly.
Matt’s pricing is almost hard to believe when checking for equal aircraft value. From the logs to the delivery you will not regret your purchase.

In the Fall of 2008 my wife and I bought a ’76 Lance from ASI and we are very pleased with our purchase. Matt made buying an aircraft a very pleasant experience. He was extremely patient, obliging, and friendly. He agreed to meet with us on a Sunday, spent the afternoon with us answering all of our questions, and spent another entire day with us during a thorough pre-buy inspection, providing assistance whenever required. Being from Canada, there were some extra hoops we had to jump through regarding exporting of the aircraft, and Matt was there every step of the way, doing whatever he could to make things go as smoothly as possible. It was a learning experience for both of us! After-sales support has been tremendous. As with any 30-yr old product that has undergone refurbishment, there were a few minor wrinkles that had to be worked out, and we found Matt to be very fair and accommodating in this regard. He stands by the products he sells. For anyone looking to purchase a high-quality refurbished aircraft at a reasonable price, I highly recommend ASI. No sales pressure, no hassles, just great aircraft and great people!

Dear Jim and Aircraft Sales,
Thanks for helping us purchase our A36 Bonanza and guiding us through the buying process. It was great working with a man of integrity and honesty. The aircraft was exactly as you said it would be and it was even more than our expectations. Your help made it easy to buy this plane online and I will recommend you to anyone looking to buy an aircraft.
James Gordon, who delivered the aircraft, also did a wonderful job.
Thanks to all.

After watching other owners have their planes in and out of the shop for repairs or upgrades I decided to spend a little more and get a plane that was ready to fly. However, searching through the usual sites like Controller or Trade a Plane for a 6 I realized that almost every aircraft would need some work done. Then I stumbled upon Aircraft Sales, Inc. and Matt Kozub. After visiting their shop I knew I would be buying my first plane from them. Everything from the customer service, thoroughness of selecting the aircraft for refurbishment, and quality of the work has been outstanding. While purchasing 2957R a few squawks arose but they were quickly taken care of and I was always kept informed as to what was happening. I have only had the plane for a month but it has met my expectations. All I can say is that the plane flies as good as it looks, and that is great. If I ever do replace 2957R I would definitely buy from ASI and Matt again.
Thanks,

Matt,
Just wanted to drop a note and tell you and your potential future customers how much I appreciate the ease and professionalism of the entire process of buying a plane from Aircraft Sales Inc. This is my first plane and my experience was limited severely. I found you to be the only person (out of maybe 10 that I attempted to buy from or enquire about a plane) that really showed your knowledge and courtesy towards the whole puchase. It was great to be able for you to have the plane flown from Ohio to Oklahoma so I could have a pre-buy done right here by someone I know and trust. The plane was exactly as you said it was and we only had two minor fixable problems which you made good for right over the phone that day. It was a pleasure doing business with you and when I am ready for another plane I will call you first.
