OK - This is a hard call for me...

Yeah, A-Spec's shop is a dump in a bad area (had a tank of gas syphoned out after the gas cover was broke), and the guys there are a bunch of wingnuts.....

*BUT*

They rebuilt my motor (and all the housings are mine) and I'm really happy with the job they did (15k km of hard driving and autocrossing on it), and have helped me out with a lot of parts that I could not get anywhere else at anywhere near what they charged me (including freebies).

I dunno - I'm neutral here. I've gone there and got good value for the money and personally know others that I referred there who are happy. I also know some who are not. I didn't know these guys before I got the RX and have no other relationship with them.

Back to the original poster:
Did *you* ask to have the FCD installed before the work was started?

Also, how was the rebuilt wreck unsafe? I wrote off a '97 Neon 9 months after I got it, and the only reason it was written off was the insurance would have had to pay for *OEM* parts on a current car and they were too cheap to. The body shop I had it towed to told me they could have done it for half the price if it was a year older and did not have to use Chrysler parts. The damage to that car was not that bad, and I even drove it to the side of the road after T-boneing a minivan that had turned in front of me.

Anybody who considers disconnecting the pressure sensor a safe way to remove fuel cut should be treated with extreme caution, if for no other reason that they obviously have no idea how EFI systems work, let alone specific knowledge of Mazda systems.

 

Ian,

They are kinda new... mark used to work out of an autobody shop, but then he moved and got a new shop... i doubt too many know him... I get very high praise from a friend for their shop

 

Thanks Cheers,

Where are they located and do they have a phone #.

Thanks.

Ask for Mark

Shop has 3 hoists, no alignment or ac machine yet, but he is a certified mech.

Kinda far from Chaulk River or Kingston even... but i'm going there this weekend to get fuel filter and O2 sensor replaced...

 

Whatever happened to Rob at MRU? I know he had a DONE UP Turbo II before. Does he still have It? I know he drives around a Millenia now.

 

Yup she's far but what do you do when you own an RX7 and nobody works on them around!!!

What do you do? You come to this forum!

 

Ian, go get some tools and work on your car yourself ;o)))

 

Did I ask for a FCD ? YES I DID.. They said " don't worry about it ,we know how to get around fuel cut" . I will get details on the wreck damage. I know it involved frame.

 

Actually I ran out of oil which was my fault NOOB. I beat on my car everyday at 14 psiwith stock fuel except for pump for 7 months until I neglected to check the oil which was MY FAULT. Thats why when I pulled my motor apart the apex seals were still in tact right? You twit. Why dont you stick to things you know...not RX-7s.

And how do you know ANYTHING about my car? you have never seen it and I have seen you once with your gf at A-spec. ******

 

Rob drives a dump truck now. LOL

 

Higgi,

I do work on my car. You have seen the pics.

But really I'm scared when it comes to fuel

Anyhow gotta go work on my car

Thanks I will stick to things I know other wise crooked shops screw you. Your car runs so good because you probably have everybody elses good parts in it. Anyway not here to argue with you. To me your just a bystander to that shop. I'm just here to say what goes around comes around. Even though a-spec does SOME good work, the scratches on my car, the poor spoiler , the disconnected boost sensor, week at a time with no car, and that damn ticket really pissed me off. and all that and they only had my car TWICE. Is that a good shop to you hondah8er? Do feel good for sending me there?

 

I'm totally with you on this.

 

At this point I'd kind of like to hear their defence on this subject. I know one of the guys that works there comes on a lot of these boards.... I want to know what they have to say about all this. Would be kinda hard to have much of an argument at this point though.

So what do you know? I am curious to know. To me it doesnt sound like much. Instead of bitching on here why dont you call Steve and tell him to pay for the scratches to get fixed on your car? They have a bodyman downstairs.

Your car runs so good because you probably have everybody elses good parts in it.

You seem like you like run your mouth there buddy Please dont infere about what I may or may not have in my car.

Right now, I couldnt care less about how I feel about sending you there noob.

 

You're right, he should have made them pay for the scratch repairs, but there's no way in hell he should let anyone they recomend do the work. A good shop won't ever, and I do mean ever, leave even a greasy hand print anywhere, let alone a scratch. A good shop wont ever, and I do mean ever, unplug the bost sensor. A good shop wont ever, and I do mean ... pick from the friggin' list. If they do great work for you, then great. In the unlikely event that I drive to Toronto, and the more unlikely event that my 7 breaks down there, A-spec will not catch even a wiff of it. One bad story is enough. Two worse. Three, they might as well close up shop and find something they are qualified to do, like cleaning toilets.

BTW, we may not have heard a defence from them, because they have none, or don't care, or well that about covers the only two tenets of good business left to them.

 

Probably because they are busy and dont go on the internet more like it. I'll go by the shop and let them know whats going on and being said.

 

Their body shop downstairs provided the brilliant work on my spoiler. I wouldn't let them touch my car again. I would ask them to pay for the crap but they don't seem to give a **** about detail. Not worth the arguing. As far as I'm concerned I got it off my chest. I don't really care to hear about these guys anymore. I shouldn't have said anything about your car hondah8er. But I think you shouldn't be sticking up for those guys. Maybe you should just tell of your good experiences with them and I'll tell my bad. And let everyone decide for themselves.

No hard feelings. I got fucked and this is how I chose to deal with it !

 

Oh I have one good thing to say about a-spec in all fairness at least I could make it home in my car after they worked on it. I didn't make it home when I took it to a Mazda dealership.............

 

Anybody who leaves their cars at a-spec should take note of the KM's because they ALWAYS drive customer's cars home... I've even received an ETR bill before from a time when the car was in the shop so it wouldn't surprise me if they loan cars out to other customers too!
