Request a helicopter maintenance or MRO quote — verified shops respond directly

Annual, 100-hour, HSI, dynamic-component overhaul or AOG response — post a free Service Request on ChopperSwap and have FAA Repair Station / EASA Part-145 shops respond with structured quotes, lead time and capacity.

Sourcing maintenance is shop-network dependent. The same airframe-and-engine combination might be quoted by 12 shops within 500 nm, but most operators only call the two or three they have worked with before. A Service Request post broadcasts your scope across the full approved network, and shops with available slot capacity respond with quotes.

ChopperSwap's Service Request wizard captures the fields shops need to quote without follow-up: airframe model, engine variant, scope of work (annual, 100-hr, HSI, dynamic-component OH, AOG response), preferred dates, location flexibility, and any required approvals (FAA Repair Station, EASA Part-145, OEM authorisation). AOG requests are flagged and escalated.

Steps

  1. Open the Service Request wizard — Sign in and click "Services" → "Request a quote". Five-minute wizard covering airframe, scope, location and timing.
  2. Specify scope of work — Annual, 100-hour, progressive, HSI, engine OH, gearbox OH, dynamic-component OH, AOG repair, modification or STC installation. Multiple scopes per request supported.
  3. Set approvals required — FAA Repair Station, EASA Part-145, OEM-authorised, type-rated technicians. Restrict the responder pool to qualified shops only.
  4. Set location and timing — Preferred base airport, acceptable ferry radius, target start date, AOG flag, completion deadline.
  5. Publish and compare quotes — Request goes live and is broadcast to approved shops in range. Quotes arrive in your inbox with labour rate, parts estimate, lead time and slot availability.

Why ChopperSwap

Approved-shop pool only

Responder pool is gated by your approval requirements. No quotes from shops that can't sign off the work.

AOG escalation built-in

AOG flag pushes the request to active shops immediately and highlights it in the digest.

Structured, comparable quotes

Shops respond with the exact fields you asked for — not free-text emails. Compare 4–6 quotes side-by-side.

No broker layer

You contract directly with the shop. Flat fee on shop side, never a commission.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to commit before publishing the request?

No. Posting is free and non-committal. Use it to benchmark a known shop's quote or to genuinely shop the work — your choice.

How fast do shops respond?

Routine scheduled work: 24–72 hours. AOG-flagged requests typically draw first responses within hours during business hours across the shop pool's time zones.

Can I require OEM-authorisation?

Yes — approvals required is a wizard field with OEM-authorised, FAA Repair Station, EASA Part-145 and type-rated options. Only matching shops can respond.

Will the shops see my identity?

Your contact is gated until you reply to a responding shop. The shop sees your scope and timing only when the request publishes.

Is there a fee?

No fee to post a Service Request. Shops listing services pay a flat fee, never a percentage of the work.
