I had the pleasure of working with Coeur d’Alene Aviation and Maintenance to sell my airplane, and I couldn’t be more impressed with their service. From the very beginning, they were top-notch. Kirk Lauer, in particular, was outstanding. His professionalism, attention to detail, and communication throughout the process were exceptional. The entire team made the experience smooth and stress-free, and they delivered amazing results. I highly recommend Coeur d’Alene Aviation and Maintenance for anyone looking for expert aviation services. Thanks again to Kirk and the team for a job well done!

I earned my private pilot license through Coeur d'Alene Aviation and Maintenance. I highly recommend this school. They are very professional, knowledgeable and maintain safety as their top priority. I trust their planes and their instructors with my life. While taking lessons, they were flexible with my full time work schedule. I was well prepared for my written exam and checkride. I passed both on the first try.

If I could give 6 stars I would. Kirk and the team are super fast to respond and execute a plan to get you back flying, just great to work with. Truly an exemplary operation. Ive had a couple issues that needed attention over the last few years and its just been so refreshing to deal with a team that goes above and beyond, again and again.

Example: Had a Tachometer issue last night, sent an email late at night and got a response within minutes and Kirk had an experienced mechanic at my home airport by this afternoon to address the issue. Similar response and action time when I had an issue a couple years ago.

It seems even when they’ve got a busy shop, they don’t give in to phone tag, emails, and vague timelines, which it seems can happen easily these days. This team somehow does everything in their power to get you back flying ASAP. Huge value when it comes to peace of mind as well, knowing someone with experience is with you and on top of it.

Can’t say enough. Highest recommendation.

My family and I were trying to find the best way to sell our father’s airplane (rural MT.) last year after his passing. We were very fortunate to have been introduced to Kirk through a previous owner of the plane that was interested in buying it back.
Even though that deal didn’t happen, Kirk stayed with us and eventually we decided to send the plane to Coeur d'Alene. Understanding our hesitancy (we all live elsewhere) Kirk was patient and extremely professional.
We had just had its annual done but Kirk and his team went over the plane and found a couple of minor repairs that we had them complete. He cleaned the interior and hadn’t even finished all his marketing when he called with an acceptable offer.
His system that he has in place made the sale smooth and easy. Based on our experience I cannot say enough about his professionalism and would recommend Coeur d’Alene Aviation and Maintenance to anyone needing to sell their aircraft.

Obtained a private pilot license in about six months of training. On the weekends, weather permitting. Stayed under what I budgeted for it. Was a great experience and can't recommend Coeur d'Alene Aviation and Maintenance enough. Shouts out to Tony, an outstanding instructor. The learning experience has beat anything I’ve experienced in academia or elsewhere, easy.

I have flown out of KCOE with Jeff Fouche at Latitude Aviation for close to three years now. His facility is top of the line and is constantly getting updates. The planes are well maintained and are a joy to fly with both tail wheel and tricycle gear options. DO TAILDRAGGER! Jeff and all of the other CFI staff at latitude really know their stuff and will ensure your safe and proficient engagement with the joy of flight! I will continue to fly with Latitude as long as I live in the Spokane and Coeur d'Alene area due to their impeccable service, knowledgeable and experienced staff and cost efficient flying options!

CDA Aviation and Maintenance has done some minor service and repairs on my Vans RV-12 ELSA. Although I'm a newer customer, they treated me like family right away, and I'm very happy with the quality of their work. They are also very good at responding to phone calls and emails. Can't recommend them highly enough.
