RX7 Friendly Mechanics Near GTA
I've been out of Canada for a while but now I am back and I want to get my FC out.
It has some steering issues right now. I also want a mechanic to look at the car from top to bottom and issue a proper safety so i feel comfortable driving it again. So what shops are still around? Preferably near Mississauga/Brampton area if possible. Thanks guys! |
RX-7 >> RX-8 >> The Shop >> Mazdee's Performance Auto , there more north toronto area good shop tho
|
anything closer to brampton/mississauga?
My car is not driveable :) |
There is a sticky in this forum that specfically states "approved rotary shops"
-Geoff |
I read the sticky... but some of those shops are not around!
|
Its worth the tow to Mazdees.
|
If it has nothing to do with the Engine,then take it to a competent mechanic.
It's when you take it to a "piston guru" that all Hell breaks loose. After all,you just want to know if the car is safe,mechanically,right? |
Or you can bring it to my shop :P I'm in North York!! :D
|
I'd rather give the business to an rx7 mechanic, or someone who at least appreciates the car and knows about it, than a piston mechanic.

Dave's shop is one of the best. They know these cars better than anyone I've ever met and have built their business and reputation accordingly. Unfortunately because rotary engines are extremely less common than pistion engines and RX-7's (and 8's to some extent) are not a very common car you're not going to find a knowledgeable rotary mechanic on every corner. If you want a rotary specific shop, your choices are limited. If you just need a smart mechanic to look at your car, I'm sure there are ones local to you. Owning an RX7 is not as easy as owning other cars, sometimes you have to take the 100km tow to a shop. -Geoff |

Ouch! I hope that wasn't directed to me!:( My father has been working with Fb's and Fc's for over 20 years now, I have only about 10 years of experience atm with rx7's :P I and my father built plenty motors already and a few Race Fb's and FC's, and we currently race down south hehe

I believe his reply was more aimed at misterstyx69 who suggested that if it's not specifically rotary related, just take it to any trusted shop.
-Geoff Is the car so Unique that suddenly we need to take it to Mazdee's for a Safety?. I mean really guys,Come on! Were you a proficient ROTARY mechanic before you got your car?Did you need to take any special courses to change the brake pads or fuel filter?.No. That's the "aura" associated with these cars,And frankly it is too highly exaggerated.It's just a car that is powered differently.Everything else is the same. |
Sct - not directed at you.
I rarely go to mechanics... so with this car I know I will be going to one for the next few years and would prefer a rotary mechanic, even though I know they are rare Just a personal preference :) |
If you can get the car to me in Orangeville ill look at it, or if you'll pay me for my time ill come and look at it for you.
I'm an automotive technician, and expierienced in RX7s |
I've had nothing but good experiences with Dave, Mazdee's has worked on my car a number of times.

Thats a lot of money to be paying someone to work on your RX7! Damn cars need so much attention if you don't have a fat wallet you'd be in the poor house lol.
|
Go see Sean at Street Power. He's in mississauga, streetpower.ca
|
I think i might be giving SCT a shot, he seems honest enough....
|
Tehhe! Of course I'm honest! I wish to someday be on the list of trusted shops, but that will come in time :)
|
Where is your shop?
