Seppuku 09-15-2003 08:49 PM

I would say the dealership is alright if you have no other shops around you to go to and if you cant do the work yourself.

i would look for a rx specialist in your area first. I have found that the dealer doesnt always know what that are doing.....https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683572.gif

they are theiving bastards...



they just get trained by keeping on swapping known good OEM expensive parts until the problem gets fixed. Which is fine underwarranty but not when you have to pay thorugh your wallet

DON"T GOTO THE DEALER! you have a ton of good local shops

FCmaniac 09-20-2003 11:44 AM

I'm sure someone on here local would be willing to help out too.

Nemesis 09-20-2003 02:02 PM

IMHO - The dealership isn't always the worst place to go. I have a good relationship with the service manager at the local Roger Beasley dealership, they've helped me out on a number of occasions. This Beasley dealership even sponsors a couple of local spec miata and solo2 racers.



Don't scare people away from dealerships just because you "think" or were told that they just rip people off. There are plenty of local shops shop that will "bend you over with no lube" also.



If you can not complete the work on your own, for whatever reason. Call around and get price quotes from everyone. Ask around at the local car meets were other people are getting their work done. See who has the most reasonable pricing along with having a good reputation.

Rotormotive did exist, Kevin was great with rotories, when he closed up shop I went to his house a few times to work on his boat and his benz, he let me change all the hoses in my vert at his house when I first got it loaning me tools and tips on how to do it, not charging me a dime, he was a gentleman and really knew his ****.



unfortunetly I lost contact with him, so Kevin if you are reading this, give me a call!





He had a supercharged rotory powered Bertram ( boat ) by the way, this boat originally toured the country with popular mechanics magazine or some **** in the 70's I believe to show that a rotory could be used in a boat.
