S & S Aviation

★★★★★ 5 out of 5 a month ago

I want to take a moment to recognize an outstanding aviation business and some truly exceptional people. I recently had my annual inspection completed by S&S Aviation in Winnsboro, South Carolina, and I can honestly say it was one of the best experiences I’ve had in aviation. Brian Steed runs a first-class operation and is one of the most honest, professional, and knowledgeable individuals I’ve met in this industry. In my years around aviation and business, it has become increasingly rare to find someone who genuinely puts safety, integrity, and customer service above everything else—but Brian does exactly that. During my annual inspection, Brian and his team went above and beyond to ensure my aircraft was safe and airworthy, paying attention to details that previous mechanics had overlooked. Their commitment to doing things the right way—not the easy way—gave me tremendous confidence in the work performed. I was equally impressed by the flight instructors at S&S Aviation. Every instructor I spoke with was professional, highly knowledgeable, and willing to help simply because they care about aviation and helping fellow pilots succeed. They took time to answer questions, share their experience, and offer guidance without expecting anything in return. What really sets S&S Aviation apart is that they truly are a one-stop shop for aviation. Whether you need maintenance, flight training, avionics work, or general aviation support, they have the expertise and resources to help. Brian, his son, and the entire team have built something special that reflects the values our aviation community needs more of. If you’re looking for an aviation business you can trust, I highly recommend S&S Aviation. Outstanding people, exceptional service, unmatched professionalism, and a genuine commitment to safety. It’s refreshing to find a business that still believes in doing things right and treating customers like family. Thank you, Brian Steed and the entire S&S Aviation team, for the incredible work and for everything you do to support the aviation community.

Had Brian Steed perform a little reprogramming on my G345 and 430W. He was busy but worked me in. Dropped it off and he was done very quickly. He went to return the plane to me at my home drome, but during the flight my regulator failed. He replaced it, replaced a bad wire, and delivered it back to me! Couldn't be happier!

Avoid this place. Had to do 2 emergency landings in their plane within 5 hours. And the owner tried to charge me for fixing their plane. Simply shocking. There are 2 threads in Pilots Of America about the trip. First the R/H magneto falls off blowing oil all over, and then the prop governor breaks down. And the owner wants me to pay for the hours I spent fixing his plane, forgetting I had to get a rental car for days, hotel rooms etc. Simply - avoid.
