Jet Repair Anywhere has announced the availability of a free competitive repair quote service. JRA’s Web service links jet operators and maintenance facilities to provide up-to-the-minute competitive rates. Jet Repair Anywhere’s business partners include Bombardier, Pentastar and JetCorp.

The Scottsdale, Ariz.-based company allows jet owners and operators to find the lowest repair and maintenance costs from qualified, reliable repair shops across the world. Jet Repair Anywhere’s maintenance quoting system is anonymous and free to all aircraft owners and operators, regardless of whether or not they are currently JRA clients.

Requests are routed to JRA’s database of qualified repair stations in specific geographic areas–regionally, nationally or internationally. The system eliminates the issue of unsolicited sales calls from vendors. Requests are sent out from JRA and return to JRA before being sent on to users so shops cannot contact operators directly. Quotes are available via e-mail or fax.

The online system covers due lists, inspections and specialty services. Requests for quotes will go to the facilities that work on an operator’s particular airframe or engine type in the area the operator wants. The company lists more than 6,000 repair stations worldwide, including 4,500 in the U.S.
