FYI - He is pulling the same stunt as he did in Colorado and Autos Unlimited is supposedly now under a new ownership. So... beware...

Website looks like something out of the '90s, but hit up Mr. Mazda in Campbell. Ask for Tim.

Ivan is legit, he does all my work and you're lucky to meet him, he only takes referrals. He also works on Bimmers, but shops around here only refer rebuilds to him.

CA NorCal shop for 7/8ths complete project

Looking for anyone within 200 miles of the Bay Area who can do the last few reliability mods and put together the piping/mounting for everything between the engine and front bumper on my FD. It has been on quite a journey and still needs some help to get to where I want it, but now is the time to fix what needs fixing and get it on the road.

+1 Rick and his shop are great. Top notch work.

I went to him first and I will definitely try to go to him again, but he was too busy to take on my car for at least a few months, make sure you call ahead to work with his schedule. I have only heard the best about him and his work.

Mr Mazda no longer takes 3rd/4th gen RX7s. You may be able to talk them into minor work, but if you have anything major forget it.

I got that same response. Time to change the name to Pistonsport I suppose, unless they work on a bunch of RX8s.

They do work on RX8s. They quit doing RX7s because parts are slow/hard to get.

That's sad to here.

SakeBomb Garage is in Santa Clara as well. Might as well add them to the list of Rotary Shops.

YO!

We were casually looking at the NorCal threads and we stumbled upon this list.

We do indeed service RX-7's we offer a lot of services along with our custom parts.

We currently are offering:
- Alignments
- Dyno services
- General Maintenance
- Suspension installation
- Bushing installs
- Corner Balance
- etc

We've run many Dyno Days in the past and are still available for group buys on anything you guys would like. Generally anything but engine internals.

Hit us up for anything you might need.
