Service in Kansas City
I am in Dallas and have found a 3rd Generation RX-7 in Kansas City that I might buy. Does anyone know a reputable mechanic in Kansas City that could do a comprehensive check on it for me (for a fee) before I come up there? Thanks

I don't and I live here. I might be going to Dallas or St. Louis for an engine rebuild. I'll let you know if I find someone here. What does the seller have to say about a reputable mechanic?

I'd be happy to check out the car for you as well. Is the car being sold through a dealer or a private seller? If it's a private seller who's the owner. There's one place in town you could take the car too but they're usually pretty booked. Like Majik said, about the best you can do to check out the engine is to check the compression and boost patterns. A Mazda dealership can do the compression test (expect to pay about $180 for the test). If the car has a boost gauge installed you can check the boost pattern yourself on the test drive. Give us some details and maybe we can help you out even more by checking it out in person for you like Majik offered.
