The truth about tuners.....

[Kron]

I would like to give a huge thumbs up to Pip at WGT for actually being one of the few garages who seem to actively answer emails and help with general info in a quick time frame. They really do a brilliant job and if I wasn\'t so far away I could safely say they would get my return business every time.

On the flip side I would like to know why Tim at RX Motors posts up an email address on his website when he never bothers to reply to them? (even when its an enquiry to purchase some parts). Very poor and unreliable.

I think its cos tim is really busy...he\'s never had any trouble responding to the emails i sent him... and usually within 24 hours....

[nikp]

Why send emails to a garage though? They\'re always busy - it makes much more sense to phone him. I have always got through to Tim when phoning, and he\'s always been able to help me with whatever i need (Except an engine mount, which are as rare as hens teeth!)

[Kron]

Because its alot more convienient to email through lists and explain something in detail through email in my experience.

If they didn\'t want to recieve emails they wouldn\'t bother with a public email address surely? The last time I tried phoning I didn\'t get phoned back when previously promised so as far as I\'m concearned why would I want to waste my time and money speaking on the phone?

I\'ve used:

WGT
RE:Worx
Hayward Rotary

All have done a good job and been friendly and helpful.  Each gives a very different experience but it\'s all good.

I\'d be happy to use any of them again!

I must say Carl @ Hayward Rotary is a top chap always very welcoming and helpful, and workmanship is ace!

When did you take it to Warrior,what did you have done???

[AshRX]

I took it when i first had the car about 18 months ago. The engine went pop when one of them was driving it after fitting a boost controller. Mega money after that lol

About 4 to 5 months ago I started looking around to buy a 3rd generation RX-7 as a replacement to my everyday car. This being the case I wanted to ensure it was going to be as reliable as possible, I soon came to the conclusion that I required a more or less standard or very lightly modified FD.

It was at this time I found MRC and the collection of RX-7 specialists advertised at the top of each page. I spent a lot of time reading about the cars and the various specialists. After talking to a few of the RX-7 specialist / importers I decided I most liked the sound of the service provided by ‘Jimmy’s Mazda RX-7 Specialist’. I went to go and see Andrew who owns Jimmy’s and was very impressed with his knowledge, I looked around the garage and stores and I must say the amount of spares he has availably is very impressive.

Since buying my FD I have only had very minor problems. Jimmy’s provided me with a 3-month warranty on the whole car and a 12-month warranty on the rebuilt engine block. All teething problems I have experienced have been unquestionably covered by the warranty.

I would highly recommend Jimmy’s Mazda RX-7 Specialist for his cars and spares, a pleasure to deal with.

Cheers,
Jim.

P.S. The only down side is that Andrew does not have any tea / coffee making facilities, however he did mention that he was meaning to get some. :Giggle

went to see Pip at WGT for remap - bloody happy,kept me informed- top dog

[arrouk]

after speaking to carl haywood he even covers det on his rebuilds. as far as i can tell no one else does this.

James,

Thanks for your positive comments about Jimmys on MRC, it is much appreciated and I\'m glad that you are pleased with your RX-7.

We will have to sort out the problem with coffee at our workshop though!

Regards, Andrew
