Question Recommendations for shops

Anyone know any shops in the Tacoma area they would recommend for getting my FD motor rebuilt. I don't think exhaust pros in puyallup do them anymore.. And I heard a bunch of different things about Atkins.. If no shops around that can rebuild.. Anyone know a good shop I good get the motor swapped if i bought one online?

Got mine rebuilt at Illtech in Tacoma. Not exactly rotary specialists, but they used Atkins parts new housings blah blah. Compression is great. They are currently doing a single swap for me.
