Looking for best possible shop to work with rx7 in or around BC, Canada area

I just purchased a '93 fd3s from Japan and am waiting upon its arrival, but in the meantime am looking for a shop that I can trust to bring my rx7 to. If anyone has any suggestions to where abouts in British Columbia, or nearby Washington that does good work, please leave a post. Thanks!

Jon

If you seriously consider going to Calgary you might consider heading south. There are some good shops in Washington or Oregon. I think Pineapple is in Portland.

Greg Staff has done alot of work on my car. He is a true perfectionist, and very knowledgeable about rotaries. I went to him thru recomendations from the BC forums, and have not been dissapointed. hes not cheap, but you get what you pay for!

Word of warning, get it tuned before you boost it much. Who knows what mods were done, and who knows what was removed before the sale.

Just dont order back order and parts from him lol Seriously if you want fast parts just get it from mazda. But everything else his workmanship is top notch!

Plus i don't think he'll be around for long, i honestly can't see him living past 60 the way he stresses.

As 84stock said I had my car at staff's auto and they were great. Gregg is a very knowledgable person and has tonnes of experience with RX-7's. I would strongly recomend his shop. www.staffsauto.com
