The truth about tuners.....

[Mark C]

Would like to recommend Gary at G and A racing, he knows his stuff and sorted my high idle speed out and fitted a PFC, decat and a big service etc. It wasn\'t a straight forward job as there were other issues that had to be sorted ie knackered speedo that didn\'t like the apexi. He arranged some other clocks for me and it\'s all running sweet now.

took my fd to rx-heaven last friday failing mot on emmissions customer service was excellant car was mot,d by tuesday pm having a few extra bits done as well picking the car up on friday,will let you know the results,pleased so far though.

Have used Rotecknics for some work, and although they\'re not cheap, i was very happy with their work and level of expertiese.

I have also been to Rx-Heaven, who were great too, friendly guys and good customer servise. Lent me a car for the days mine was there.

Will probably be going to ReWorks to get it mapped soon.

I have had problems with garages saying they could help me out, and in the end it turns in to a big mess. Stick with the people who know!!! They may cost a little more, but in the long run it\'ll probably end up cheaper as you wont have to get things done twice!! YOU HAVE BEEN TOLD

Have used a few places over the last year...

Used Owen Developments early 05 for mapping my Vpro...hell  of a ong trip..excellent service...very very friendly... and didnt charge me stupid money... had the car for a few hours...but after finding that they couldnt access the ecu ..the understood id come along way and only charged me for 1 hr! Highly recommend these guys

Steve Simpson at Teg Sport...Great dyno setup...gaves me soem very good diagnostic on the supra...def recommend for us northerners..

Pip... not the best experience..charged me alot to do very little... managed to sort the ca rmyself after a coupla hours..wish id done that in the first place..wont go into detail...

Paul at TDI NORTH.... Amazing serivce..very friendly..plently of free coffee.. always kept me up to date... sensible prices.. one of the best up north!! Also now have an Aussie helping out who has done alot with rotaries out in aussie land..shall be tkaing my rx when it arrives..

May also try Hyper Sports and Racing in wigna for apexi mapping..they seem great lads... nice to know there ar emore and more places opening up north..

Just my personal opinions..sure we all havepour own views..

Just to add my 2p here, the first place I tried was Hyeline in Cardiff and I didn\'t have a good experience there.  They talked the talk, but when it came to sorting out a problem with vacuum hoses they missed a split intercooler, knackered y-pipe and a few other things plus tried to sell me new intakes etc.   They also didn\'t have the greatest service when they should have been getting back to me about things.  They also bad mouthed Dragon which in my opinion is a little unprofessional...

I had heard some good things about Dragon previously with the only reason not going to them originally being the distance, wish I had now as it would have saved me cash even with the distance and fuel.

After this I went to Dragon and they sorted everything out no problem with a pretty good turnaround.  Also had a decat and new backbox (with discount) fitted as my old one didn\'t mate with the new centre section properly.

Always found Dragon to be friendly and informative and willing to help.  Getting a new clutch from them in the coming weeks and maybe a new ECU (might have a go at this myself though and let them map it).

Thumb up from me anyway.

have tried few place myself too..hyper sport and racin in wigan was friendly and amazing service...always tryin to lot you in even they are mad busy with bookin..

WGT has mass knowledge of our car but they charged a lot for little things and when i had my fd there i blown engine on the same day i picked my car up from there when they said they had checked the engine....anyway....

Also been to TDI ....serive is good but i m not sure if they are very familar with rotary tuning..

Have used REworx recently for mappin, not for the first time and found them to be superb. First time Geff done it and second time Max. Very impressed with both. In particular Max as he let me sit next to him while he did it and explained exactly what was goin on.

Exactly what you want when your pride and joy is being worked on.

I also used Hyeline in cardiff for a service and the they are a bunch of monkeys, got home ok went to start the car next day to find out there was no water in it, when the changed the coolant they over tightened the screw in the bottom of the rad so the head snapped off, its a wonder i made it the 45 miles home to be honest without overheating. they also didnt get back to after loads of phone calls.

oh yes they also gave dragon one hell of a slating

my mate has probably soend about 3,000 with them and now refuses to use them after they couldnt change his brake pads properly, they left bits out on the one side makeing the pad vibrate continuously and charged him £120 for the pleasure.

[memski]

Can\'t recommend Shyauto enough, I\'ve been pestering Nigel for ages now for lots of little bits I\'ve needed while the car\'s been in the garage over winter and he hasn\'t let me down yet.

Also Gary at Rotaryart, who even delivered oil to my door in person - now that\'s service!

[Jovic82]

agree with a previous post about david at rotechniks, that man seriously knows what he is talking about and explains everything and i always found them to be excellent.

ordered stuff from WGT and arrrived the next day. Excellent again!

and gary also personally delivered some brake pads to my house when i was desperate a while back. Legend!

Cheers

My RX7 was previously owned by a very good friend of mine who took it to dragon for the rebuild. 3 months later gets it back, after phoneing them everyday (and them saying, few more days, few more days etc)- shocking condition, cowling missing, wires just untidy, black insulation tape hanging about and a mess - just basic tidyness and housekeeping stuff that you would do if it cost that much and had 3 months. Runs it in, and starts having loads more probs - takes it back to dragon, who dont seem interested - he PAYS to have all new vacuum pipes etc fitted at huge cost - gets it back, few weeks later develps more probs and the second turbo not spooling properly - dragon have it, say everythings ok - now ive got it.

Second turbo (poss actuator) deffinatly does have probs 75% of the time, which is strange as they did 50 miles in it and never found a problem - and i can do 10 miles and it will prob happen 10 times.

I know they are local to me but i wont take it there. Saw the way my mate felt for far too long, hence he sold it. I will travel miles to take it somewhere else. Three of my friends now have rx7\'s (one of which needs a rebuild now), and our business will all go to a better run company who pay attention to detail, and look after there "high bill paying" customers.

Just my opinion

Ps the dragon performance sticker on my car is coming off today

[chopper]

Oh and funnily enough - i just took the brakes apart that dragon fitted brand new - as they were vibrating etc - not a hint of copper grease, rear part of calliper seized. They fitted them about 700 miles ago.

Pretty sure quickfit would have done a better job
