Hey before we dump a load negativity on Ricks, lets do some research first. Ask the community, reach out and dig. Based on something "heard", isnt fact that's more rumor.

When I bought my TII 6 years ago all the work had been done at Rick's Rotary and my car ran flawlessly. Just sayin. But yeah Paul knows his **** too and should be a grip cheaper.

Another for Rotorsport. I've had my FD in for work at Rotorsport and at Mr. Mazda in Campbell. Both know their stuff, but Paul's in another league.

I have lots of experience with Rotorsport. Paul is like a walking Rx7 encyclopedia; I've asked him for parts and he will know the OEM part number by heart, no joke. He has built multiple SCCA champ cars as well. So naturally, I recommend Rotorsport. http://www.rotorsport2.com/

However, I have also heard good things about The Shop in San Bruno as well, which may be a little closer to you if you are in SF.

Turned my car over to the gentleman because I needed a rebuild. He asked for a grand deposit. 5 months later still no car and no returned phone calls? ??

Shouldn't you post in the buying/selling feedback forum first?

hmm, well that sucks, heard that shop was a decent alternative for the sac area. take a trip down there and light a fire under their *** to get something done on it.

air freight isn't too expensive to or from vegas for future reference. finding a shop to just do the engine R+R shouldn't be as difficult to find as a shop to rebuild the engine.

I would have not waited 5 months. I would have immediately taken legal action and get my car, money, and time back.

yea in retrospect I think it was way to much promising and nit much delivery. Im not the type of guy to look for trouble so i wanted to do everything possible before taking legal action

and yes i should have posted this in the buyer seller forum first but i was really upset... so i threw a fit and posted here. I apologize
