I just had my car worked on at Rotary Power.
I went here for a simple engine install with all parts provided.
1 month went by and it wasn't completed and their excuse was parts were mission.Air box brackets,a heater hose and long starter bolt.
I also helped remove the engine and had to go and finish it because I didn't want to leave my car there anymore due to reasons stated below.
While moving my car,Jeff hit his trailer with my 90 GTUs.
Dented my fender and scratched my bumper.
I asked him what happened and he said " I have bad perhephial vision"
So then I said "what are we going to do about it?" and he says well fix it.
I don't think a bondo job on a once perfect fender will suffice,
I asked for a used OEM fender or brand new stock fender from the dealer.
I didn't get any definate answers from him about getting it for me.
I told him no rush and I will be visiting often untill he gets it for me so we'll see if he compensates me for my damaged 90 GTUs!!@!
Also i left a brand new OEM throw out bearing to be installed and it wasn't.Alan the mechanic there said he couldn't find it and the one in there was brand new.It dosent matter because I asked for it to be installed and his excuse was"I couldn't find it and I couldn't look all day."When I walked in I found it in a matter of seconds and told him here it is.Honestly the service sucked there.I do rotary work up here in Northren cali and decided to get my 90 GTUs worked on since I bought it down there and don;t have time for my own cars,so i pay someone to do the work on my car and am really dissapointed with their work and how they handled my car.They better get me my OEM fender soon.or else!
Rotarypower had a nice ring to it since My name is Junpower. I met Jeff at D1 last december and he seemed like a cool guy but my car was damaged and I am waiting for a fender.Let's see how long this takes.

The pictures below show my car the day i left it at Rotary Power USA and when I came back 3 weeks later.

!! SH*T!@@

from my knowledge jeff only drives the cars and he has "I forgot his name"(the owner of the white FC ) tuning his cars while he drives.

And again I will never trust anybody with my FC again reputable or not fu*k that.
I should have towed my car up and installed my engine myself.Lesson learned.

we'll see if he comps me for the damage and he should do so because I am not asking much.I will fix and paint my own bumper and fender that he will supply.

I've been having great luck with Speedtech in Southgate... Nelson and Charles are very knowledgible and honesly bust their a$$es to make their delivery dates... I've personally witnessed them going above and beyond for their customers... Even missing 7 stock! (Ha ha!) The shop is small, but then again that might be why they are on top of everything...

NepTune Speed is fantastic. I love Yoshiya and Yosuke. They're just great human beings and two of the most honest people you'll ever meet. They've done so much for me that I feel like anyone else would've had me paying much more for and I really enjoy the relationship and trust that we have. Given my history with mechanics (stripping my car and generally being not completely forthcoming), these guys are such a sigh of relief. I am so glad that I went to them to solve my car's no-start problem after years of storage (which ended up being rusted stuck seals and required a rebuild) just after they had opened their shop and am proud to be one of their first customers.

Yoshiya is so dedicated that his FC has been down since February and he still hasn't rebuilt it. They also missed Sevenstock in order to meet appointments and work on cars.

I'll chime in here and recommend JRX rotary, I think the city they are in is Azusa CA. Juni does great work and is a very honest guy. I had some work done there and was 100% satisfied. I'll deffinately go back.

i'm fine. i've been there and had my engine street ported by Alan.
JunpoweR is just the unfortunate one and sucks for him.
i'm sure anyone who'd have their car messed up would be pissed off.
but thread jacking and talking $hit is not this thread's shop.
13bchris was just looking for recommendations and nothing more.
