The truth about tuners.....

[Bone]

I ordered some AutoMeter gauge fittings from Clive and he ordered them from America with me paying for them when they were ordered as they were special items.
AutoMeter gave the wrong prices to Clive when ordering them and they charged Clive at least double when they arrived!
Clive being the gentleman he is, would not hear of charging me the full correct price and took a considerable loss on the sale!
All I can say is that Clive is a legend! :god

Whenever I have PM\'d I have ALWAYS got a reply and very promptly.
I will deffo be purchasing things from Shyauto again. Top service.
Thanks Clive!

i\'ve ordered several obscure parts from clive and he is always extremely helpful and goes out of his way to get things quickly

Hmmmm might as well add my contribution to the pot here.

Id give a definite thumbs up to 2 tuners who i used in the past. Namely Jason @ super7autos (//www.super7autos.co.uk  or 01903810139)  and carl hayward (//www.mazdarotary.co.uk  or 07776304174) Both have helped me immensely over the last 9 months while Ive been trying to sort out the mess that another tuner made of my car. And both have always been available on the phone at silly hours when ive needed help, ideas or to be put back in my place!
Id have no qualms about recommending either of these guys to anyone for any work not only for the quality of the work but also for the quality of the service....
Id also recommend Tim & Matt @ RX Motors (01725516462) for spare parts although i havent used them to have work done, the serviceis very good and friendly and the parts have always arrived lightening fast!

Got my car back from Jason at super7autos on thursday after having my never ending boost issues finally sorted! He got it done fast and I have been very impressed with his worksmanship and customer service.
I have never experienced my car pulling as hard as it does now!  I highly recommend him, and his tea :Thumbs-up

I found mazda dealers very good and not badly priced for some parts.

In the 9 years that I\'ve owned my RX, I\'ve tried a lot of tuners and parts suppliers and found the following:

Rotecknics - Superb technical knowledge and the work done has to date been excellent quality.  I do find the prices higher than anyone else I\'ve used and there always seems to be something that needs doing.  The best knowledge and good customer service. David R provides excellent one to service and sound explanations as to what needs doing.

ReWorx - Have looked after my car probably more than most and generally do a very good job. Friendly guys who are always busy.  They occasionally spend more time on the phone than under the bonnet but are always fair on labour charges and are very reasonable.  I like the fact I can loiter around and watch the work and ask stupid questions from time to time. Geoff and Max are talented tuners and I have used the rolling road on a number of occasions.  One fitting of a part that has since become questionable, but generally a good outfit who I will use again.

Hurley Engineering - Rebuilt my first engine.  A number of problems when the car was returned which had to be sorted else where.  The rebuild lasted 7 years (I do only 5,000 miles a year).  The rebuild would have lasted longer had new housings been used originally, but can\'t grumble.  Once bitten, twice shy.

Rotaryarts - Purchased a few bits and pieces over the years.  Generally a good service with speedy delivery.  Prices keen.  Had a bad experience last year while Gary was \'off-line\'.

Thames Valley MOTs - Dave enthuses RX7\'s and it\'s infectious.  His own RX7 drains the MOT center profits, but don\'t they all.  Good service, always helpful and excellent customer service.

BNR Supercars - Had my turbos from there this year.  Had to wait nearly 4 months.  Not ideal.  Customer communication poor but always courteous.  Te finished product however is worth the wait.  Top quality finishes all round.  If you want more power and like twins, this is the only way to go.  Very knowledgeable and skilled engineer.

SR Motorsports - Fast and efficient delivery.  Top quality parts.  I\'d use them time and again (particularly while it\'s $2 to the pound!).

i went to rotatecnics as when i got my car nearly all the work had been done by them and a cowboy that moted my rx7 fc mucked up all of the settings, they said would be about 1 hour max to sort everything and if they hadent sorted it they would know what was wrong, 30mins later they had sorted the car got the running isues sorted and sorted emitions and got the lean/rish mix right, i recon it was more like 45mins to 1 hour but they only charged me £30, went back a week later to sort out an exhaust prob and insted of just saying we can sort it they ran threw all the options and even recomended a few places for exhaust in america before i made a decition! seem good to me! but then i havent had this car longer than a month!

not really dealt with many, tend to agree with most people about Pip, he is very friendly and seems genuinly interested seems to lean more on the functional side rather than making it pretty as there is plenty you can polish in the engine bay.
 
bought the pulley set from sr motorsports. ordered the silver one and they sent the blue one. one of the belts was the wrong size too
 
but its good that we keep these threads going to keep us all informed

I have had loads of work done by Carl and the guys at Haywards Rotary and always found them very helpful and always have time for their customers, very friendly and laid back.  Only problem is distance (120 miles there 120 miles back - I live in Basildon!)

I have found out that TDi in west thurrock also deal with Rotary engines so thought I would give them a try and would just like to say what an unbelievably helpful bunch of guys (sam/Shaun/Mark) with an amazing fountain of knowledge and very happy to sit there and talk to you for a long time

I got the car remapped with an HKS F-con V Pro on there recommendation and what an amazing transformation from the Apexi FC.

They put it on the Dyno got given some pretty amazing readings and ironed out alot of very annoying flat spots that the Apexi FC couldn\'t seem to deal with.

So either of these guys are very, very good.
