They promptly chocked our King Air and fueled us back up without a fuss. They also were waiting to let our ambulance back in thus minimizing any delays. The bathrooms were clean.

The Bakersfield Jet Center is a Fixed Based Operator (FBO) that acts as a terminal for private and…read morecorporate aircraft and passengers. They have a waiting area as nice as any first class lounge I've seen, and you don't have to be flying first class to be there. The place is clean and the staff are very nice. You get great treatment from the staff here and they really want to see you smiling and happy about flying. This is really a low stress way to fly and I can't recommend it more highly. Enjoy BJC next time you are passing through.

Without a doubt the best FBO at KBFL! The facility is VERY nice, everything from the entrance…read morehallway to the signage inside is aviation themed (props used for signage, staircase hand rails, etc) the main lobby is beautiful (2 story ceiling with floor to ceiling windows) and is always kept clean. There is ample seating for multiple travel groups to have their own space. The pilot lounge has nice big comfy chairs and tv for those long waits, quiet room, shower, dedicated restroom, etc. The CSR's are very friendly, the line guys are also very friendly and willing to help all you need is ask! Everyone is a hoot to chit chat with. My favorite part is that they treat the guys in the little planes with the same attention that they give the big dogs in the fancy multimillion dollar jets, that goes a long way with me. I love stopping by I always feel so welcomed when I do, they literally roll out the red carpet! On top of all that, they're usually ALWAYS the cheapest gas on the field! Locally owned and operated so you're not giving your money to some big corporation that doesn't care & you can tell they genuinely appreciate everyone that gives them the opportunity to earn their business. 5 Stars would recommend to any pilot looking to be treated like they're a somebody

I did a quick landing in Wasco to call my A&P, he said it was most likely the probe. Hopped over to Bakersfield to Epic to fuel up, lunch, and decide what to do. It was a really nice lounge! My decision was to rent a car & leave the plane there to make sure it was just the probe. Jason, the A&P there, took care of it. The woman drove me to the main terminal to get a car, then I conveniently left it at Epic for the rental car company to pick up. When I got back from LA a few days later, the plane was good to go with a new probe! Highly recommend, that was somewhat of a stressful situation & they took care of everything for me. Thank you!!
