Suggestions on rotary shop for rebuild around cali LA area

Hi everyone, im currently browsing around for a rotary shop for my FD. Still indecisive whether if i should take it to Tri point or Mazdatrix. Has anyone had their motor rebuilded by them? how's the work? And any suggestion of any other shops other than those two? thanks for the help.

Mazdatrix does not do service anymore. Rotary Power in Gardena is highly regarded. Rotary Power USA!

Also Rotary Reliability in Santa Ana. John who used to be the mechanic at Mazdatrix now works there.

7's Only Racing is on the track at Buttonwillow. When my FD had issues one day, they took care of me quick. When all was said and done, they got me back on the track, showed me what to pay attention to in the future (it was a wiring issue), and even gave me a pretty good offer to buy my car! ..which I turned down.

Anyway, cool bunch of people, super knowledgeable when it comes to rotarys, and they even sponsor a series of racing featuring 3rd gen RX-7s. If you're in the north part of LA, it might be worth the drive

The Rotary Lab in Ontario is awesome. Really cool guys over there. They have helped me out with a few parts.

My only other input is that Mazdatrix charges a premium for their services.

I'd say Tri-Point especially now that it's owned by the two mechanics that work there. Stop by and say hi and you'll see these guy love any RX7 or miata

As stated earlier, Mazdatrix no longer provides service. Parts only.
