there not a good shop, they don't good work, there welding is terrible, there prices are way to high, and there customer service sucks...but hey if you don't believe me aske gsxr750 who got took xx amount of dollars for PFC that they said was in good working condition out of the box and come to find out it was broken when they sold it to him...
Or my friend who took his silver 93 touring FD and got took close to 8k for bull **** products, and labor and nothing to show for it...But hey its a free country you do what you got to do...
oh one more my other friend who took his 89 turbo II for a vacume leak and got charged $400 that i ended up finding at there shop with no tools!!!

Doy is good people but can't speak a lick of english but is one hell of a ******* fab guy who is currently working on 4 rotor e-shaft and making all the parts on lathe...

the other guys you mentioned i have no clue who they are

But after i took my car there, my mind is made up. they are a perfect place to go to. Go check them out, it wont for your opinion also. yea teddy i pretty much did all the research about them including pineapple racing and how they built a motor for a customer and got it installed at autotech and it came out BAD. But Jerry son Jerald said he bought his rx7 from one of his customers that had his motor rebuilt from pineaple. The amazing thing jerald told me is that pineaple put the apex seals the wrong way and used weird gasket for the inner and outer water seals. So its confusing but i dont know. like i said before go check them out for yourself. they just sold there 20b FD on ebay and the set up WAS NICE!! Also they got CNC machines so im waiting for my custom work to be done there
Sorry man i just can't seem to agree with you on this one bro...I have seen there work first hand, and i have seen there 20b fd up close in person during the time it was getting built...the craftman ship and fab work was nothing to brag about...there motors are poorly built and don't stand a chance against any kinda of abuse on or off the dyno or on or off the streets and track...The motors built by pineapple a racing and the motors built by auto tech are two different ball games and can not be compaired...The inner and outer water seals that are being used by pineapple racing are viton water seals...New technology sort to say for the rotary community...I myself have used the viton water seals on many motors that i have built with great success, and im currently getting ready to use those water seals on FD motor that i will be building for my brother here in the next week or so for his FC...

Its funny because if you ask around between San Diego and LA LA land and the name autotech comes up either people have heard of them and only have heard bad things about them...And when people local are looking for a shop to buy parts, or get his/her car worked on autotech is the last spoken name even brought up in any conversation peice or on a thread here on the forum...So go figure

Glad to hear that you had a good experience with Autotech...you are definitely in the minority.

Bring your car to the meet on Saturday. I would love to check it out.

Im not taking there side its just that i really had a good experience with them and what people are saying doesn't cut it on changing my mind. Im going there today and see what they think and see if i can trust on what they say. Thanks for the information. Pretty much i have to face a shop that is feared by everyone. But if everything goes well, i still have a shop that i can go to.
Been plenty of people who have gone there gotten work there, and have bad experiences...there not stories there not lies...good luck...
