As many of you already know, Spirit Avionics is an authorized dealer for just about every OEM out there. In these times that we’re in, we know that in order to maintain or stretch the aviation department budget you have to get the most out of every transaction. This is why we are offering our parts brokerage services to you. If you have been buying your exchange avionics direct from, or sending repairs direct to, the OEM (Honeywell, Rockwell Collins, Universal Avionics, Teledyne/Magnastar, L-3 Communications/Recorders) then you have been paying too much. If you have been utilizing the services of another 3rd party that offers the same services as is being described, then chances are we can still save you more. We utilize our dealerships to get you the equipment you need with an OEM tag and warranty and many times we are competitive with, or can beat, the low-budget MRO companies prices. Why buy a low budget unit with a 30 or 90 day warranty when you can get an OEM unit for nearly the same or better pricing with a full 1 year warranty in most cases and little to no chance for a BER core bill back?
Here’s how it works. As an authorized dealer we get a discount off list price from the OEM for exchange units and repairs. Then, instead of charging our customer list price, we pass along a portion of the savings. In many cases we pass along a majority of the discount to our customer. Here’s an example: Say you have a radar unit that requires exchanging. The list price is $20,000. We can buy this piece of equipment for $15,000 which is the same price any other dealer of that OEM buys it for. Most other dealers will try and sell this radar to you for list price. Some dealers may try and offer you 10% off making your price $18,000. In this case, we offer you 15% off. Making your price $17,000. Total savings off list is $3000. I bet you can find someplace else to apply that money to, right? This is just one example of how we can save you thousands over the course of a year. If you have multiple aircraftthen you definitely need to take advantage of this program. Discounts vary by OEM but we always work out the discount structure with our customers before they ever buy anything from us. Then they always know what to expect and there are no surprises.
Call us today to find out just how much you can save on your next OEM exchange or repair. You will find out how much further you can stretch that budget. Currently we offer these services to many corporate flight departments (including many Fortune 500/100 clients), government agencies and, believe it or not, other high level parts brokers. So before you buy from your current broker again, or from a non-tested 3rd party, please give us a call. We’re always very professional and honest with you. If we can’t help you, we’ll tell you up front and there is never any obligation. We work for you.
