In a word, no.
There was a former Mazda Master Tech that had opened up a shop a year or so ago, but I understand he's not working on rotaries anymore. (But that's second hand, so take it for what it's worth.)

A group of friends and I have formed our own rotary maintenance cop-operative because if we didn't do it our selves, nobody would.
Need to do a swap and 2 engine builds for this season, we hope.

Did you have something specific you needed done, or just curious?

Part of the reason I moved out of NS was lack of support for our cars. Great to see there is support between owners in the halifax area now. Stay away from city mazda that's for sure

there was a guy that posted an ad on Kijiji last year who was in Dartmouth that works on Rotary Engines and did alot work on race set ups peripheral Port 13B. He did most of his work out west.

A dealer can usually do it for you. I know both in Halifax can.

Thanks, I had tried them both first but they both said their tester wasn't working.
Just have to break the golden rule I guess. Wish me luck.
