Any Bayarea Guru's out there that can help me out?

Well, i've been looking around in the bay at a couple of rx7s. I am pretty familiar with the 3rd gen buyers guide checklist, but I still dont have a place or person that can help me out with the compression test. And that is the last step into purchasing one of these cars.

I know there is Ricks Rotary out there in Pleasanton, Ca but I dont think i would have the time to take one of these cars out there. I was wondering if it would be wise to take the car out to a Mazda dealership around San Jose to get a compression test done.

Maybe a Rotary Guru in the San jose area can lend me a hand in pulling some numbers from a compression test, and a little guidence in buying a good condition rx-7?

Thanks for your time and help.

Jason
