I never talk about any shop ,but please rotary community don't ever get dyno tune your rotary car at "CHURCH AUTOMOTIVE" down in long beach,California they don't know how to tune rotary my engine was running like **** a whole year jumpy idel and the timing was hitting the apex seal the whole time till the engine started really bad knocking cause it to blew up the engine apex seal broke a piece and did nasty damage inside 😭, took it to a true "rotary" tuner shop they check the map of church tuner and they told me it was really bad map and it was tune as a piston engine and the timing was to close or on the apex seals till it finally gave up, so please rotary brothers always go to a rotary specialiest ......I got the engine rebuild again and tune @ garage life and its been tuned and running amazing like a rotary engine should of been from the beginning no problems at all, I have been in the rotary community 10years strong so I know from experience how a rotary engine should be running thanks guys hope I help anyone by this message.....

That place is horrible. I went there 8 months ago and they were super rude. I asked if the can tune with a power fc and they basically laughed at me and said that system is ancient but they can "try". I said hell no and left.
