I bought a Mazda Rx8 2004 manual transmission last summer here in Chicago and I'm just looking to have a shop other than a Mazda dealership where I could take my car for any check ups. Looking for a mechanic that knows how to work with a RX8.

 

Hello, Francisco

A-Spec Tuning
533 Lunt Ave.
Schaumburg, IL 60193

However, Evolv-Chicago (the local rotary car club) has a great relationship with Continental Mazda in Naperville. If you mention the club, you get a good discount on Mazda parts. At least as good as anything you can get on-line.

 

I was hoping for something closer to the city. Thanks for giving some options either way.

 

Presently, A-Spec is the only rotary specialists in the Chicago area. The next nearest known one is Shook in Rockford.

A websearch came up with this place:

A Speedline Tire & Auto Service
5250 N Damen Ave
(between Berwyn Ave & Farragut Ave)

A entry on Yelp ( http://www.yelp.com/biz/a-speedline-...ervice-chicago ) said that they took care of his RX8 well.

Here's a couple that got a mention in RX7Club:
