Overview
Sarasota Avionics lists five Florida locations: Venice Municipal Airport (VNC), Sarasota Bradenton International Airport (SRQ), Palm Beach County Park Airport in Lantana (LNA), Peter O. Knight Airport in Tampa (TPF), and Charlotte County Airport in Punta Gorda (PGD). The operator's locations page is the source for this list. Confirm the address and service availability for the specific branch before planning a visit.
Published services include installation, radio repair, instrument overhaul, autopilot repair, wiring harnesses, and custom panels. The operator lists Garmin, Aspen, L-3, Avidyne, and Genesys / S-TEC among its brands. The provider also lists FAA repair stations. Those statements are operator-reported in this directory, not independent confirmation of current certificates, ratings, or capabilities.
Choosing a location and service
A multi-location listing does not mean that every service or brand is available at every branch. When contacting Sarasota Avionics, name the airport location, aircraft model and serial number, installed equipment, and requested task. Ask which facility can handle the work and whether the aircraft or component needs to be transported to another branch.
The published service categories cover different work. Radio repair may begin with a fault description and prior maintenance notes. Instrument overhaul and autopilot repair may require the unit or aircraft to be evaluated before the shop can estimate scope. Custom panel work depends on the existing configuration and requested changes. The listing does not state the exact test procedures, unit models, or approved work scope at each location.
The operator's brand list is not a promise that every unit from each manufacturer is supported. Ask about the exact make and model of the equipment, the aircraft installation, parts availability, and any configuration requirements. Ask what diagnostic steps are in the initial estimate and how approval is handled if additional work is found.
When a job involves more than one service category, confirm whether the same location can handle the full scope or whether another facility or outside vendor will be involved. Ask who coordinates the work and who provides the final records. The source listing does not assign specific services or brands to individual branches.
Rates and qualifications
No dated labor rates, overhaul prices, installation packages, or turnaround times are included in this directory record. Request a written estimate from the branch that would perform the work. Confirm whether the price includes removal, shipping, bench work, parts, reinstallation, testing, and records.
The operator lists FAA repair stations on its locations page. Confirm the current certificate, rating, and limitations for the facility and task involved. Do not infer that all five locations share the same approvals or service capabilities. The directory does not publish a certificate number or the facility's operations specifications.
What to verify before scheduling
- Confirm which branch handles the requested service and equipment.
- Ask whether the task can be completed at the selected airport or requires another location.
- Verify the applicable repair-station information directly with the operator and FAA records.
- Request a written estimate, scope, parts assumptions, and schedule.
- Confirm what test results and maintenance records will be supplied.
