To fix a oil pan leak and brake work. I went to put on my brakes the other day and I had no power. I ended up sliding through a intersection and had to use my emergency brake to stop. I don't know if it's the master or brake booster. I do not want to take it to a dealership.

stay away from MZM.

overpriced and questionable customer service.

the only "good" things heard from MZM is from dick riders who spend ridiculous amounts of money.


Try Automotive Specialists. They have a rotary specialist on staff and are sponsors of the Texas RX's club.

In San Antonio there is Alamo Rotary.

Just don't ask Automotive Specialists to actually do any rotary specific work. I asked them to work on my stuck secondary intake sleeve, and they told me they didn't have anyone who knew how. Lame.

Becareful w/ advice from someone like this who trashes one of the better shops around and their customers for reasons unknown and then actually recommends a shop(Alamo Rotary) which has been out of business for YEARS! Fail

MZM has been around for awhile, they have a nice shop/dyno but pretty sure they will only work on FD's(not positive on that). They built my motor 7 or 8yrs ago, tuned it, and I've had them fix numerous little things here and there, plus they've even dug up & corrected shotty work done by other 'big-name' rotary shops. Have had next to no problems w/ the car so definitely recommend them.

For the stuff you need you should talk to Josh here in SA... http://www.re-tuning.net/

just go to the dealer man
brake jobs are not rocket science
changing the brake booster and things like the clutch slave are common issues
is there fluid in the little cap? be sure there is and if your brakes still dont work TOW IT DONT DIE TO SAVE 80$
