Default Looking for S-Tec autopilot savvy radio shop in PNW

My S-Tec 50 needs adjustment (chasing the heading bug) and I'd like to
find a shop that has the S-Tec autopilots figured out.

Any recommendations in the Pacific northwest, preferably close to the
Portland/Hillsboro area?

At Aurora, Pacific Coast Avionics has a good reputation. Unfortunately,
when I was there they were so popular that I couldn't get them to focus on
my airplane because they were too busy. I ended up getting some avionics
work done at PDX Flightcraft instead.

More recently, I was impressed by the avionics showroom at Hillsboro
Aviation, and even more impressed with the responsiveness of their
maintenance staff to a couple issues I had while there as a transient.

Those are three options for you to investigate.

If you don't mind hopping over the Cascades, I've been pretty happy with
Leading Edge Avionics in Bend. I've not done autopilot things with them,
but they are (I'm pretty sure) a S-Tec dealer

I've used the folks at Spencer on Thun Field (Puyallup). Willie DeHaven did
the install of my S-Tec 20 and I wouldn't hesitate to have him work on the
55X in the new plane either. Reasonably priced, good work.
No relationship other than as a customer.
