Steve at Mechanical Power Systems. He really knows his rotaries.
His number is 416-252-0866, and he's located near Evans Ave and the QEW, beside the mall.

Hey guys, I'm near Port Union and 401 area, and I know Mazdees is probably the closest, but are there any other options in the Toronto area? Preferably closer to the Scarborough area?

I need to get the motor swapped, and I already have a second motor with me.

He doesn't have an emissions testing machine, but he can have a legitimate test performed on your car for you.

So it would be no different than if he took his car to a shop...

Obviously. But he's taking his car to the shop to have other work done, and when he returns to pick it up, he'll have a valid emissions test. Who cares who owns the machine, the job will be done regardless. Lots of shops do this...

Promax:

I have taken both my 7's into Mazmark for work (clutch replacement, basic tune ups etc) and was quite satisfied with the work/service received. My philosophy on mechanics/garages....try it once. If I do not like the end result...I never return.

Crackerjack,
Thanks for your input. So I went to Mazmark a few weeks ago, and the place is not bad, Mark seems to know his stuff. I will definately go back.

7 rocket,
I don't recall if we have met. I haven't been to the meeting for quite some time. I think last time was a RX-8 meet a few years back. But I'm planning to attend the Mazda meet on Aug 11, sounds like a big event there!!
