Funny, 66 views already, and no one left feedback. Kinda scarry!
Ill start.
Bought a 12a about 7 years ago. Had a overall good experience. Engine still running.
Got a 13bt about two years ago. That one did not go so well. 100 miles into break-in, the bearing seized up. Turned out to have a faulty oil pump in it. No biggie, it got rebuilt by a 3rd party.
Got a fc3s pully kit. Really like the serpintine belt. All is good with this product.
That is it.

Mike is the ****....I bought alot of parts from Atkins for my rebuild and i ordered a new FD E-shaft.....so i get this call a day later and they say they're out of stock and that more will be in around april....he asked if that is too long of a wait and it was so he gave me a Renesis E-shaft for the same price (worth $160 more or so than an REW shaft) 3 days later it was at my front door and any questions i had i called mike and he answered every question i had and everything worked out great (especially for my first rebuild).
Thanks again
Josh

I'm a proud owner of a Atkins custom built 13B for my GSLSE. Dan Atkins personally made mine with S5 lightweight rotors, S4 housings and irons, bumped up oil pressure regulators, and heavy exhaust ports. I put in Pineapple racing sleeve inserts and put on the S4 upper and lower intake manifolds and still using my S3 fuel injection system and computer.
Throughout the whole building process of my engine, Dan always kept in good contact with me letting me know how everything is going and asking detailed questions of what I wanted out of it. I dont care what anyone else says, Atkins Rotary is and will be my engine builder! Dan is ALWAYS there to ask questions or help me out with anything. Atkins Mama is VERY friendly and kind. The rest of the crew are great too but Dan and Atkins Mama really stand out. They care about their customers so much that they send Thank You cards out periodicly and Chirstmas cards out for doing business with them!!!
As for the engine, I specificly had them make me a street/somewhat race engine for my DAILY driver. She's still very quick for no intake porting. I'm always in the process of some other upgrade....doing MSD soon....
If you need ANY parts or questions, Dan is your man! If he cant find the question or help you, he will find someone who can. Remember people, its not a corperate buisiness. They're small time people like you and me, workin just like you and me. I give them a lot of credit!
Thank you,
Nate W.

Atkins Dan gave me great customer service! It's not easy finding parts for my '75 REPU but he gave me a great price on my heater valve.
I had also ordered a thermal pellet for the 13B going into my RX2 and unfortunetely he forgot to include it with the package. I called them up and in a few days I had my thermal pellet and 2 oil filters!
Thanks Dan!!! Keep those old school parts coming too!

HUGE Thumbs up for Mike and the guys @ Atkins!
Sup all. Just wanted to give a big shout out to Mike and everyone at Atkins. They lightened my rotors and balanced my guru e-shaft, rotors, front and rear counter weights. And the best part is they did it all in only 3 days! Talk about good turn-around. Thanks again guys. Hope to be goin 9's shortly...

I ordered some new hatch struts for my FB...not really a big ticket item. But I needed them before sevenstock. A couple days after ordering it, I received a letter letting me know to contact them if I needed anything. Next day my struts arrived and worked perfectly. Dan is always there when ya need him, and Kathy is always friendly and ready to help.

got a atkins 3mm 13bt i got about 1500 miles on it and when i went to get it tuned the guy said my compresion was lower in the front then in the back... turns out i had a new housing in the rear and a used one in the front...the front still has good compresion but its lower then the rear and because of this he told me he wouldnt recomend running over 15 psi on the motor because it wont last long...i dont really know what to think though

I've bought a J-spec transmission from them, a j-spec motor, 6 oil filters, a throttle cable, and a manual steering rack all from Dan and I must say that he's one of my favorites to deal with.
I go through them for most of my parts. I love deal with them and cannot stress that.
Thank you Atkins family for all the thank you letters and everything, you've been nothing less then a joy to work with.
And thank you Dan with putting up with my shipping change and being such a pal over the phone.

Throughout the entire ordeal I went through, the guys at Atkins were awesome! Bought a 2mm FD rebuild kit, got it for real cheap! Had to buy new rotor housing and used 2mm rotor, they didn't have a 2mm to match mine, so I sent them my good rotor and rec'd 3mm rotors! On top of that, one of the 3mm rotors I rec'd was damaged during shipping, and they had a replacement to me THE NEXT DAY! BTW, I'm in PA, and they're in WA. Josh (I think it was Josh) is the ******* MAN!
Furthermore my dad went out to visit their shop and gave them VERY high accolades for what they have going on out there.
