Bay area owners Q

So ive been doing some homework because I need a rebuilt for my t2. I found a place called specialized parts planet up in sac. they do it for about 2k. That sounds super cheap! Has anyone gone to these guys for a rebuild? I wonder how legit it is. They said they use new seals and even ceramic. IDK though.

There's a sticky in the west regional forum about norcal repair/rebuild shops. As for work, there is no way to magically cut costs. You get what you pay for.

Edit: Looks like you found it.

In san jose, there is a shop called Rotorsport2, guys name is jim or something and his stuff is super legit. All he does is rotories and does great work. But like people say you get what you pay for and his prices arent cheap.

if it's the same company as mazda recyclers used to be then they have gone through about 3 engine builders in the past 5 years.

there is some alternatives.
