Mechanics specialized in rotaries near Ann Arbor, MI

Hi all, I want to get a compression test done on my 1984 RX-7 GSL-SE, but can't find anyone local that can are willing to touch the old rotaries (not even the Mazda dealer). Can anyone recommend shops around the area that they go to, preferably close to me. Thanks!

If I had time I would come by, Royal Oak is not that far from A2.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind! I just picked this RX-7 up last weekend, and currently making up a to-do list, most of which I'll do myself. There are a few issues that I'm struggling to resolve, such as running rich (smells of gasoline) and sometimes backfire when I rev and let off the gas at around 3K rpm. Nothing seems to be affecting the driving and performance though.
