Bevan Aviation

I cannot say enough good things about Bevans Avionics. They took my 1967 avionics and brought them into the future while still preserving the classic integrity of the original 6-pack layout I wanted to keep. The transformation is unbelievable — the entire face of the cockpit now looks like a brand new Cessna that rolled out of the factory. Their craftsmanship was absolutely flawless. Every detail was done with precision, care, and professionalism. Beyond the incredible work itself, their patience throughout the process — especially with the design process and final decisions — was met with courtesy, kindness, and genuine professionalism. A very special thank you to Jacob Kinsey and Angela Cook. They were always helpful, patient, and an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. Their communication and customer service made the experience even better. Also, the guys in the shop deserve a round of applause! It was truly a joy working with Bevans Avionics, and I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting modern avionics with exceptional workmanship and customer service.

I just stopped by Wichita on my way home from Oshkosh for a visit with a family member. I walked over to Bevan and asked about repair options for my G430W that was experiencing reluctant buttons. I walked in at about 3pm. Mike Gros, Chief Operating Officer, met me at the door. He asked when I was departing. I told him 9am the next morning. He said to bring me the 430 and he would have it repaired in time for my departure. He walked me thru their repair shop and discussed their repair capabilities for the Garmin 430/530 units. They have a whole cabinet full of used units that provide repair parts, including used display units. The parts I needed were the 'snap pack' inserts that reside under each push button. The tech replaced all of the snap packs under my buttons and replaced the system battery which was near the low voltage threshold. They cleaned up all the push buttons and the screen cover. It looks like new and all the buttons work like new. Total price $880, and completed in about 5 hours of working time. I departed KICT right on schedule the next morning. I can't say enough good things about Beven Aviation. Years ago, they repaired my old KX155 that had leaking capacitors that had ruined my Glide Slope board. They had used replacement parts that fixed the problem at a very reasonable cost.

I had a KC-295 (flight computer for a KFC 200 AP) repaired here after it wouldn't couple to lateral guidance. All the forums and recommendations, including BeechTalk, were to give "Jake from Bevan" a call. This may be the best aviation company I've ever dealt with. Their turn around time was very fast (about a week and a half), their work is quality and their prices were extremely fair (~$680 to repair the lateral card). The unit was returned to me packaged well and with all the required documentation. I can see why everyone likes Bevan - I am very pleased!
