At your hangar

We dispatch to your home field so your aircraft stays put and your schedule stays intact.

Aircraft painting

Full paint at T67 shopTouch-ups on-site

Paint is the most visible thing on your aircraft and the first line of defense against corrosion. We strip, prep and refinish in our EPA-compliant paint hangar at Hicks Airfield, where temperature, dust and overspray are controlled.

For chips, leading-edge wear and localized corrosion, we bring precision touch-up work to your hangar.

Fuel leak repair and detection

On-site dispatchT67 shop

A fuel stain or a weeping seam can ground an aircraft. We find the source, fix it properly and make sure it stays fixed, whether that means a ramp visit to your field or a full reseal at our base.

When your aircraft can’t be flown, we can come to it.

Request a fuel repair quote

Included

  • Leak source tracing and classification
  • Wet-wing and integral tank resealing
  • Fuel cell (bladder) removal and replacement
  • Access panel, sender and fitting reseals
  • Leak checks after cure before return to service

Sealants and procedures follow the manufacturer’s maintenance data, with cure times respected and every repair recorded in the aircraft logbook.

Pre-buy inspections

Mobile, at the seller’s location

Buying an aircraft is a large decision made with limited information. We travel to the aircraft and give you an independent, unbiased evaluation of its condition and its records before you sign.

You get a written report with photos, so you can negotiate with facts or walk away with confidence.

Request a pre-buy quote

Included

  • Airframe, engine and propeller logbook review
  • Airworthiness directive and damage history research
  • Structural and corrosion inspection
  • Engine condition checks, including compression and borescope where appropriate
  • Photo-documented written report of findings

We work for the buyer, not the seller. Our findings go to you.

Routine and regulatory inspections

T67 shopOn-site

Request an inspection quote

Included

  • 100-hour and scheduled inspections
  • Airworthiness directive compliance review
  • Squawk troubleshooting and corrective maintenance
  • Logbook entries and maintenance record upkeep

Careful work, done on your schedule.

Castillo Aero Maintenance is a Fort Worth aircraft maintenance and paint shop built on one idea: do it right, and don’t keep the owner waiting longer than the work requires.

Our approach

We operate from our own hangar at Hicks Airfield (T67), with an EPA-compliant paint facility for work that needs a controlled environment. For everything that can be done where your aircraft lives, we go to it.

That split means shop jobs get the space and conditions they need, while mobile jobs don’t cost you a ferry flight or days of downtime. Either way, you know what we found, what we did and what it cost.
