KD Rotary!!!!! These guys are GREAT!!! I went there with a friend and got a guided tour. They took time to answer all of my questions until I finally started feeling bad about taking up so much of there time. They were sooo helpful and I would recommend them to anyone. I have only heard GOOD things about them!!!!!! It's too bad that I live 3 hours away!!!

I am down with hooking up. Send an email my way.. Krush000@hotmail.com . I am usually up around Mathis Ave (the next road over from 28 by PFS) friday and saturday nights. If you ever see a White Touring, 10 to 1 its me.

Again, talk to the Mazda Club of DC if you are in the VA area about where to go...
Not for me. For the COMMUNITY. I have a 1st gen, and Peter doesn't lower himself to THAT level.

Thanks for caring. Group hug!

Umm... NO! If you don't care about your opinion counting dor something more than making this post 3 or 4 pages long, why should I?

Also, that site is a permanent feature of our Club website, and I really don't want to be saddles with the responsibility of copying accurately what people are saying.

I'm not on a pro or anti vendor or PFS rampage. I am offering a SERVICE.

You either get it or you don't...

Their URL, rating and comments are all to be found here:

http://www.nrx7club.com/vendors/

or more specifically:

http://www.nrx7club.com/vendors/vendor.asp?id=42

Rate them, view them, find them, print them off and put them under your pillow.

You really couldn't ask for a better vendor resource. And it will only get better with time...

Dave is a busy man and the less we bother him on the phone the more work he gets done. I was there for one entire day where he spend about 25% of the time on the phone. Anyway my point is that I would ask everyone to try e-mailing Dave for smaller questions. It will not only help others get their cars faster but will help dave make more money because he will be getting more cars fixed. That is why this is a great question. Go to KD's web site and check it out. It even has some trouble shooting and pricing help that might answer your question before you ask!

I wouldn't let Peter rotate my tires (he'd probably steal my centercaps or wheel locks). The problem with PFS is Peter himself. He's a major ***** with overpriced, shitty products ($165 for a Tokico?). Stay away if you love your car and value your money. North of Manassas, I would go to KD. South, I would go to Rotorsports Racing (don't listen to DK, they're great).

And Peter, if you're man enough to be reading these posts, you're a lousy ******* tuner, race car driver, and human being.

Yeah man probably. I have had it a little longer than a month now. It still has Missouri plates on it. Do you remember where it was parked? I usually park up around Nathans Ice Cream off of Mathis because a lot of my friends are up there on Friday nights. If you or any other Manassas peeps are up for some spirited driving or get togethers send an email my way.

Anyway for those of you in need of service in the Va area I give you this link. This guy is up and coming and you will be hearing more of him soon. Get him while there isn't a 5 month wait! https://www.rx7club.com/vforums/show...&threadid=12053
I was suppost to get my car fixed by Matt. He was a really nice guy and I wish he had a chance to work on my car. But..... It was at his friends shop for a week waiting for him to get a chance. He was going through a lot of stuff in his life so I am not mad at him. I ended up taking my car back so I could go to the BBQ and cruise. Also since I got it back I noticed 2 dings right by the drivers door handle... small dings not too noticable, but my car had zero dings before. I am not saying don't go to him... I just wish he could have worked on it one day insted of it having to sit there. That way I wouldn't be stressing this turbo problem still and my new found dings.

Chris,

Did you talk to Matt yet about those dings? If they happened while the car was in his care I'm sure he will make things right for you. He goes the extra mile.

He also had a nice oil leak and the filler neck wasn't properly reinstalled. He also said they did something funny with his rotors or something ... showing him "bad" ones that he knew couldn't have been his or something like that. They may be "friendly" ... but so was that dood on Franklin Street today trying to give me LSD stickers. That's the first negative thing I've really heard about RotorSports, but I've wondered if maybe some people are quiet about them since they do visit these boards. Or it may have just been a fluke ... they seem nice enough. I'm not trying to be mean -- I'm just sharing information. Personally I won't take my car there or anywhere else because at this point the only person in the automotive world that I trust is me.
DK- First of all we haven't met or corresponded enough for me to draw an opinion of you- much less "hate you". Secondly- We follow up with all of our customers and none have reported the problems you mentioned. I find it offensive that you would post misinformation about our services based upon your obvious dislike for our company. We are not in business to rip people off- as a matter of fact I can comfortably retire at the present. I enjoy what I do and would close the shop doors tomorow if the business were to become a major hassle. Our goal is to provide top quality service to our customers, promote our racing endeavors, and develop better products for both street and racecars. I appreciate your opinion- but before you condemn us as a low buck ripoff shop- please get the facts beforehand.

Ok, so I'm completely off topic here, but...


DK-

Dood! Gasket set! Parties! Women!!! (multiple) We need to get together and hang out man!


Oh yes...

Peter is an *******... everytime I've met him and talked to him he's had his " holier than thou " attitude... even when I was @ Pettit Racing and called him from Cam's office to ask his opinion on something... he basically told me I didn't know what I was talking about... and I was basically quoting Cameron Worth. Now he didn't know that, and he proceeded to feed me a bunch of BS...
hmph... no PFS for me!

You know what ... I'm really sick and tired of you guys misreading what I post. Here you are saying that I have "obvious dislike" for your company and that I am calling you a "low buck ripoff shop." This is not the truth. I posted several times in my post that I was merely sharing information told directly to me by one of your former customers. I also said that it's "the first negative thing I've really heard about RotorSports" and that it "may have just been a fluke". You probably know who he is, so why don't you follow up on him and ask him? Sure, put him on the spot ... though he may not have the courage to tell you what he thinks or experienced. That's the problem with putting some people on the spot -- people are nice and people don't want to be attacked like you are misinterpreting my clearly open-minded statements and attacking me. But he told what I was sharing to me, my brother, and a few other people.

If you have the money to retire, I suggest you take those chips and buy some Hooked on Phonics so your *** can learn to read what the **** I'm typing and stop attacking me for clearly presenting an experience with an open mind. (And Devilish, you should heed some of the words in this post, too ... I wasn't attacking them, I was sharing an experience that a good friend of my brother had ... while making sure I presented it with objectivity)

cvs,

No I haven't told him, I feel bad because he didn't have too much control over it. I guess I am just bitching. That would be cool if he did fix things but then again he wasn't going to charge me for just looking at the car so I figure it isn't like me paying for work at Mazda then them dinging the car. I guess I have to suck it up and go on. Other than that you guys should talk to him about any work, just try to get your car worked on that same day.

Jesus - you guys sound like a bunch of teenage girls talking on the phone. Rumors and innuendo....... DK likes to stir things up and make everyone think about what's really goin' on.. and what's wrong with that? His humor and candor can be a little obtuse at times, but at least he's giving some thought to stuff - and 90% of the time he's right on the mark. Having said that I think it's unfair of ANYONE to dis someone unless they have had personal experience with them.
I learned enough from my ONE contact with Peter to form an opinion that he's a primadonna, and my ONE contact with KD to realize that they know about customer service and actually do care about what they are doing. Are they perfect? - probably not, but there is no question in my mind that they give it 100% effort.
There are ALWAYS going to be customers that are never satisfied, and the ones that walk away without telling the business they are unhappay should be hung, castrated and shot. They basically don't have any fortitude to begin with, and will be abused and miserable the rest of their lives since they have no *****. Male or female. They are called victims.

Thanks NotaV6. You're right. The pen is mightier than the tongue. Cast your vote fellow boostards, and let the world know how you feel. What a great service, and about the only one I've seen like it anywhere. Keep it up!

Whew, talk about a thread on fire!

Heh, I posted and came back days later to find a page plus! Glad to see others backing up what I said about credit cards. I KNOW someone who's in the performance repair business so I know about the grief credit cards can be. I also know that his business wouldn't be as healthy as it is if he DIDN'T take cards. When I told him Peter no longer took cards his eyes bugged out!

Jeff was still at Peter's when I was last there so his leaving must have been recent. It was mentioned that Jeff was going to start his own business, will it be RX7 related and is he still local? It seemed like Jeff was one of the few good things going over there and some of us need work done - I'd be willing to give him a try if he's professional about it.

I'd also like to hear more about the other rotary shop in town. I've only heard a little about them but it seems I'll be needing a clutch soon and they seem a logical choice for the work assuming they get a thumbs up here. I have no idea what I need in the way of a clutch but this one won't last much longer - especially when the air cools down I've been told 3rd hand that they do older 1st an 2nd gen cars and leave the 3rd gen stuff to Peter - is this true?

KD is an option as well but they're not close by. I guess I'd goto them if he local place isn't interested in diving into my boost issue. That's a bit of a haul so I have to think lon and hard before heading up there. I know one of their techs (John?) is down in the NOVA area during the weekends (or as anyway) so I've considered simply hooking up with him and letting him take the car - has anyone done this? Is John still up there?

I'm simply looking for someone to do honest work who cares about the customer. These are complicated but fun cars and I'm willing to pay a fair price. I'm to the point where I probably won't do additional mods but I KNOW I've got to be on the edge of leaning out. I'll need computer tuning once my purple is upgraded and installed, who can I goto? This is one of the things I was going to have Peter do but if he can't accept cards and is down to one tech forget it. I feel for him but he's done this to himself, sadly I don't think he'll have learned anything and will blame the community rather than looking in the mirror. I hate to see a tuner go under but perhaps a better one will rise to take his place and learn from his mistakes?

You guys in Manassas, give me a shout! morejunk4me@hotmail.com is a good address for me. I hit Burger King Saturday nights sometimes but hope to be driving a V8 Datsun Z up there soon. Not to worry, the RX is my "driver" and isn't going anywhere. I don't cruise Mathis much, sorry (lol). I'd describe my car but I'd prefer Peter NOT know who I am since he still has dealings with friends of mine that he jobs work out to.
