WA Tune up??

Hi! I'm looking for a shop in the Spanaway-Tacoma area that would be able to sufficiently tune up my mazda RX-7 (its a 1988). I just got this car, so I'm a little unsure of where to go. Part have been installed, just need a timing set. Thanks!!

It's actually pretty easy to set timing. Anyone can do it.

Clip the timing light to the L1 spark plug wire (front lower plug) and with the engine fully warm and idling under 1000 RPM, move the CAS until the pointer lines up with the yellow mark. However timing doesn't just move unless the CAS has been played with. So if it was fine before, it is fine now.
