Had such a nice experience the first time that I came back a week or so later. Rented a car at Cutter (Enterprise I think) and they were fantastic. The linemen drove the car right out to our airplane (Cessna 180), signed the paperwork there and we were on our way in minutes. Great customer service! Upon return we dropped off the keys at the front desk, paid for our $25 worth of 100LL (to avoid the ramp fee), and were on our way. Be advised there's a City of Phoenix landing fee that Cutter cannot waive. I can't recall the exact amount but it was 5 or 10 bucks tops. NOTE - if you're going to fly into PHX VFR you NEED to have the Terminal Chart. The controllers will send you to many of the points referenced on that chart - they're also in your Garmin GPS but you have to have the identifiers from the Terminal Chart to find them (you can pronounce the identifiers). Also pay attention to the transitions over PHX. You'll likely be asked to use one of them direct to a downwind/base.

We came to KPHX for the Labor Day weekend in our C182 and parked at Cutter. We were welcomed with cold-water offer the moment we opened the doors. We were helped with the luggage and gave a ride to the terminal building. Later, as the FBO was not very busy at the moment, we were given a free ride to our hotel in Scottsdale. A couple of days later, when started to taxi for departure, we have experienced the G1000 AHRS failure. Turned out Cutter is an authorized repair station for Garmin and indeed, the problems were fixed in a day. Overall it all made one of the best FBO experiences we had ever. I highly recommend using Cutter any time you are in Phoenix area. Warm thanks to David and Dwayne from Service and especially to Janessa!

Our company gets into PHX a few times per year and Cutter has ALWAYS been a great place to work with... from pre-planning to arrival and departure. Everyone was helpful, every chance that they could be. Victoria and Gail had the rental car set and waiting at the airplane, the ground crew helped unload the plane quickly & efficiently into the car (I think I should have ordered a larger one) while getting my corporate members safely inside the Cutter building. A day later...while prepping the plane for departure, one of the line crew politely reminded me that if I could take on just 50 gallons more... it meant another entry into the drawing for a few prizes. THAT is great salesmanship. He was ahead of me with every need. Once my passengers arrived they were politely taken care of while I finalized the last few details... all the way until I was marshaled out. We'll be back!! :-)

I had never flown into Sky Harbor (usually going to Scottsdale). My conference was only 4 miles from Sky Harbor so I thought I'd take a chance on the "Big Airport" hassles and higher costs. Although the fuel is more expense than most Phoenix area airports, it's still less than Scottsdale. I used Cutter's courtesy shuttle to and from my hotel and saved on renting a car. Everyone at Cutter was fantastically nice and helpful. The controllers were also friendly and helpful. A final note. When I got home I realized I had been charged a $75/day ramp fee (with the first day waived). I called them today and they immediately recognized the mistake (I have a Mirage and they charged me the Meridian rate). They refunded the difference to my credit card. First class service all around. I'll certainly use Cutter the next time I'm in Phoenix.
