ASH8

This thread is only for Australian RX-8 owners who live in the State of Queensland, Brisbane.

RX-8 Owners wanting to know 'where and who' to see exactly (who to contact, to visit, tow their RX-8 to) in the event they believe their RX-8 needs major repairs....like a new engine.

Now yes, I know the option is to take car to your nearest Mazda Dealer, however for those who no longer have any Mazda New Car Warranty (of 3 years) the cost of repairs at a Mazda Dealership can be prohibitive and to some cases outrageously expensive.

So, where and who do we go to next...??

This is where I would like any RX-8 Club.com Members (Australian Members) who have actually experienced 'a' particular Rotary Engine re-builder or
re-manufacturer who they have used and would recommend for the good people of Queensland.

We don't want to see second hand hear say, only first hand knowledge and first hand experiences.

So please tell us your experience with your RX-8 Rotary Engine re-builder-repairer for our Brisbane RX-8, QLD members...

How long was your car off the road for....
Did they supply you a loaner vehicle...
Was there any extras 'incidental parts' that required renewing...like a clutch kit and how much $$'s.
What Warranty period did this RE repairer give you...??
How does your RX-8 perform now...??
Was it all worth it..are you happy...??
What did it cost you....all up in the end...??
Would you recommend this repair shop again....??

So please keep it honest and 'help' others in need of a 'new heart' for their Aussie RX-8.

Please leave your RE repairer's contact details below and a postal code..

BTW: Yes there are some extremely good Rotary Engine supply forum Vendors here, BUT, almost all are State Side and for changeover Engine Repair costs are prohibitive (mainly Shipping and Aussie Customs), however, IF you believe the cost is one that is acceptable to you, then I have no hesitation in recommending our US vendors like....
Paul at Mazmart, for his re-mans or used/new Mazda Parts.
Or Jason Baggie at Montgomery Mazda for all your new Mazda Parts.

WAY cheaper than any Australian Mazda Dealer at the moment because of Aussie currency exchange rates.

Plus if you are aware of your Brisbane Rotary Engine repairer may wanting to become a local Forum Sponsor/Advertiser, or Forum Vendor supplier here then please let us know.
