Thinking of using Rotary Reliability to replace my stock turbos, + maybe some other upgrades. (ECU, fuel pump). Would appreciate inputs from anyone who has used these guys recently with regards to their quality of work, fairness and cost reasonableness.

I'm in Orange County - are there any other shops I should be looking at for this work?

Thanks

Dave

 

3R (aka Rotary Reliability) is the ONLY professional shop I'd take my car to.

I've been going there for over 15 years. Exactly for their quality of work, fairness, and cost reasonableness.

 

they built my dads old race car (in the 80's) and ive never heard anything bad about them.

 

3 R has actually been a big discourage to me recently (and i used to work there..!!) i left my t2 drivetrain there for a little while and in the mean time i was looking for a place to keep it..i had a like new clutch and pressure plate, t2 flywheel, t2 tranny, t2 driveshaft..and the diff. i kept at my mom's house (witch got stolen btw.)..well, needless to say...they dont even know what happened to the clutch or the flywheel..they let my driveshaft get taken with scrap metal (i dont know how you **** that up..) and all i came out with was the tranny..im not bitter or mad about it. just disappointed, i mean they knew it was mine why would they just let it go like that? i dont know. the stuff can be replaced but i dont see why i have to pay more money for the **** that i already had..venting complete.

:AA:

 

^^ that sucks

 

they're pretty good, pricey though

 

Thanks for all your inputs everyone.

Dave

 

Pricey preception. As professional shops go, I think their prices are very good. This with fair comparison is comparable shops such as Mazdatrix, Tri Point, etc.

 

Well , If I was the owner of the shop and those parts are not from a paying customer I would of thrown them away right away , the reason is simple, a shop is a shop......... not a storage place, unless you're paying them every month for junk storage . If you're not careful with junk....... the shop becomes a junk yard, and junk is dangerous it will scratch cars and make people trip .
I recently went over there and their shop is like 100 times cleaner , which it makes sense since now they're doing a lot o nice cars including 250K built Porches and 3 Rotor 700HP set ups.

 

They are good from what i hear, but there are other people i would take my car to before them (just for personal reasons)

 

they dont like micro tech. my car wouldnt run right. guitarjunkie fixed it though.

price is good and fair, had mine rebuilt there took a while to get back.

 

Nelson is working there now. So bring on the micro tech's.......................

 

Is this RR&R off Beach Blvd?

If so, I've got nothing but good things to say about them. Had my car tuned there last year when Steve Kan flew in. I might try Nelson next w/ a new setup as I've heard a lot of good things about him.

 

I've taken my car there on more than one occasion.
The fellas that work there are really honest, and aren't looking to "gouge" anyone with work that they don't need.

I really felt a good caliber of customer service with my experience.
As far as pricing is concerned, I feel like they're pretty fair, if something's going to cost an arm and a leg - they'll tell you up front that it won't be cheap.

They're the kind of guys that do their best to make sure your engine's in as healthy shape as possible. Knowledgeable staff, and friendly.

 

but as far as the rebuild itself, no problems...

 

mazdatrix is a great place to they have everything you can think of

 

Good labor aint cheap , cheap labor aint good.

 

i disagree. lucky7 is budget friendly and does great work.

 

Well my friend Jose Gallegos took his red TII to lucky 7 to swap one block to another stock block and when he got on the 605 the car catched on fire because the oil feed line from the turbo was loose, and they still charged him $1100 just to swap one engine to another , so that to me is not budget friendly, so once again.........

Good labor aint cheap , cheap labor aint good.

 

^^ holy ****...

:AA:

 

wow!

 

Damn that sucks!!!!!

 

werd shops in my shitty little town range from $96-120 per hour

 

Hey Nelson,

Jose is our friend and I just spoke to him. He towed his car away from Lucky 7, because he did not want to run the engine before you tuned it. While idling his car on his front driveway unattended, a fuel leak lead to an engine fire.

He did not blame us, because all we did was install the engine into the car, and never ever started it. We did not get to test the car (per owner's request) like we do all of the cars we work on.

So...

 

Interesting...
