California car sent to Malloy Mazda

I sent my 93 touring to Malloy Mazda in Woodbridge, VA for service this week and was told they had 3 3rd gen RX 7s in service with one from California. Are these guys that good? I know Ray Crow is excellent and he talks highly about Dave Duff(?) a mechanic there. I'll let you know what happens.

Seems like an expensive way to go, but you can trust Ray.

bet it was a cali car originally and someone purchased it. There is no way $2000 in shipping can make it worth it.

From my conversations with Ray, he in NO WAY says his service department is skilled in 3rd Gens. I could be wrong, but I've NEVER gotten that impression. He's the go-to guy for parts ONLY.

For service, you have Ray Wilson from PFS, or the Tysons Corner Rosenthal Mazda dealership which has a master rotary mechanic, whom PFS recommends. Now THAT says something. They also have an FC owner who has rotors decorating his toolbox...hehe

Question RX7 shops in So Cal

I saw a posting earlier in this thread about there being some good RX7 shops in Cali. Any suggestions for a trustworthy So Cal location? Inland Empire preferred. My son has a 94 touring that has been troublefree until recently and we need somewhere to take it for diagnosis. Thanks!

Please search. There's a regional section on this forum for a reason. Here's the West Coast section: https://www.rx7club.com/a-31/ They have quite a few threads about shops in Cali.

Peter, here's the breakdown:

- Ray Whitney - I'm almost positive this was who PFS recommended to me years ago when I had a prob w/ my ABS. This guy is a master tech, and I'm pretty sure he's still in his 20's. Amazing.

- Subon - He's a senior tech. Both Ray and him have a good amount of 3rd gen experience under their belt.

- Miles Fischer - He's the FC guy who I spoke of above (w/ rotors decorating his toolbox hehe).
