Atkins is local to me, so I typically order parts from them.

I guess it comes down to price, if you are ordering the parts. The shipping of Atkins is rather good. I have no experience with Mazdatrix

I've purchased from both, Atkins seems to be a bit better price wise.

Why not look at on line dealer e.g. Quirk, Tasca, or even Ray Crowe for a better price?

I like Atkins, I've always had good service, but I HATE when they sell their own gaskets, o rings, etc. under OEM part numbers. Something like a housing they can't do that with, so shop price.

that bothers me too, should be cheaper and shouldn't have the OEM designation because that is false advertising.

ive ordered from both, both are reliable, if you don't live local to atkins id shop by price as well.

if you do any racing ( few races a year) you can get parts for pretty cheap through mazda motorsports.



I know what people are talking about on mazda brand vs Atkins brand stuff you need to look closely at what kits ect u are buying if you are picky



I live 30 minutes from atkins, and I am truly amazed at how much stock of random parts they have that I would usually end up waiting days for if ordered online
