I think Tripoint rebuilds too. I have read bad things about Atkins, though. Don't know if it is true, but I would do a little research before going there.

Go to Pineapple. Dont waste your time onTtripoint...no warranties, sky-high prices and dicks for mechanics.
With Pineapple you can get a 5yr warranty, and you speak directly to Rob, all the time, everytime. I went with them and even with it being my first time pulling the engine he helped me out when I hit any sort of roadblock. I'd reccomend him.

rotary reliablity and racing builds the best motors down here. tis their strength...714-839-8018 ask for Nick.
nick raced for mazda for a number of years as well as having built performance rotaries for the past twenty or more.
he actually holds records for the first top speeds back when he was racing...close to 200mph...IN A FIRST GEN.
he built my ported 3mm ceramic sealed motor.
Im very happy with it.

Mazdatrix is very good, John is a master guru of RX-7s, but they are a little expensive for rebuilds and in general take forever. However everytime i've gone in there they've had at least 3 FDs in the warehouse either getting serviced or waiting to get serviced.
