Question Any experiance with Atkins Rotary's rebuilds?

I am thinking of puchasing one of their 89-91 N/A engines to replace the sick engine in my car so I'm looking for feedback on their workmanship and customer service.

Thanks!

As far as what Ive heard they are great and stand behind their products. But Ive never ordered a motor from them just heard alot of great things.

My latest engine is from Atkins. I haven't started it yet (hopefully tomorrow), but from the exterior, it looks to be of good craftsmanship.

I would recommend them. Good service, good prices (besides the fact that they sent me the wrong engine )

Well, it wasn't Atkins per say. They have a company who distributes their engines called ATK Engines. They do all types of engines. Well I called ATK to order, and got it all taken care of. But when it arrived at my house it was a 6 port N/A instead of my Turbo engine.

So I called Kathy at Atkins, rather than ATK, and she got it picked up that day and sent my new one out. Very nice lady. Wasn't her fault, it was the distributor.

No problems really.

Although I haven't had any work from them, I like the fact that they are diverse with the Rotary Engine. Like RE Airplanes.

They are good, I prefer Pineapple due to the fact Rob uses NEW housings instead of "In SPEC" used housings.
