The Gyro House
Auburn CA

Possibly the most competent and trustworthy instrument overhaul shop in
existence, certainly in Northern California.

Seconded, even if they didn't get my T&B overhaul right the first time.
They got it the second time and gave me no hassel about sending it back to
them.

They didn't seem to understand me when I said I wanted some extra hummus
to go with my gyro, though.

For my Sigmatek Attitude with the flag: $495 my unit overhauled, $595 overhaul
exchange, $1015 new. These were installed prices. I imagine the ratios are
similar for a TC.

You got ripped off. New Sigma Teks can be had for $550, with the flag,
which is only a $50 option. It takes maybe a half hour to put one in.

No wonder. Who puts hummus on their gyro?
