Just wondering if any one has delt with them since the change in ownership. I know Ken screwed over alot of people, but i was wondering if the new ownership has changed anything.

Any body want to be a guinni pig?

 

yea, call up and asked for a used part. Its cheaper to go the stealership. They wanted $300 for a used oil cooler for a FB. I started laughing on the phone and hung up.

 

Never...
Ive heard they charge crazy prices for parts also. Not to mention they have the same Mechanics that Durkey Jerkey had. You go try them....lmao

 

MINNESOTA MIKE (M-SPEC TUNING) AND MEADESPEED (ME) ARE THE ONLY WAY TO GO IF YOU LIVE IN THE NW. MADD VOUCHES. EXCELLANT CUSTOMER SERVICE. EXCELLANT KNOEWLDEGE BASE. SUPERIOR WORK. IF YOU ARE IN PORTLAND, PINEAPPLE AND GT GARAGE IS YOUR ONLY CHOICE FOR ANYHTING ROTARY. PREPARE TO GET INLINE THOUGH:-)

Just lettin everyone know.

 

And you work for a shop? Own a shop? More detail on this please.

 

I'm not absolutely sure what "MADD VOUCHES" are, but I would be reluctant to entrust something that requires exceptional precision and attention to detail to anyone who can't spell or work the shift key. Testimonials are also best when given by someone other than yourself!

I have to agree with Boswoj.

Anyone who has been around the Northwest and dealing with Mazda rotaries for very long should never make such a ridiculous statement. Jerry Wright was building rotary racing engines that were extremely competitive in race and pro rally cars back in the 1970s and 80s. His work is absolutely first class, and certainly no one in the business around here is more knowledgeable. Mazda was so impressed with his work that they gave him one of their 1st gen factory race cars at the end of the racing season to show their appreciation for his efforts. Do you know anyone else that can make that claim????

I have no personal experience with Atkins, but you can't do what he has done on the race track by being lucky - he must know what he is doing. I can't comment on how he treats his customers.

If it is troubleshooting, repair and maintenance you need, there are a couple of really excellent Mazda mechanics at Lee Johnson Mazda in Kirkland, with whom I have personal experience, and can recommend highly. If you want custom performance work done, you have to go elsewhere of course, as they are a dealer and cannot jeopardize their position by doing illegal work (i.e. non-emissions compliant).

 

When did they change ownership?

 

Oh I think its been close to almost a year Z
