I need help finding a local shop or any garage pro's here that can install the following items for me. (Irvine CA - 92612)

· Complete Clutch Kit

· Complete Clutch Pedal Assembly

· Clutch Master/Slave Cylinder

· Exterior Door Handle Rubber Button

· New car battery

· Coolant Reservoir

· Starter

I purchased all the parts new and although a hand full of these I can do myself, I'd rather just get a good deal and pay someone to do it all. My life is a little too busy/hectic at the moment and my car can barely hang on. So I'd like to get this done ASAP.

Any referrals to a good shop or to anyone here that would like to make some money on the side, I'm all ears.

Thanks

Rocky

 

rotary reliability & racing

 

My shop Wicked Performance, or Illiced performance in Palm Springs. we both deal with rotorys all the time.

 

You guys are awesome... thanks for all the info. I'll be making calls today to compare labor costs.

 

Just as an FYI for those that may care....

Neptune offered $660
Project Import offered $700
Rotary Reliability offered $800
2 mazda dealerships offered $1300 (Insane)

Unfortunately both Neptune / Project were too busy to get it done for me sooner. I would have to wait at least 5-10 days before bringing my car in.

So I went with Rotary Reliability (Santa Ana) and dealt with Nick directly. I'm getting all that work done plus installing my rear break pads. Again a lot of DIY situations, but I'm paying for convenience in a pinch.

I'll follow up after to rate the service / quality of work.

Thanks again peeps for the quick recommendations.

 

i generally refer the 7 owners in that area to RR+R as i haven't heard much about them with 8's but a clutch job isn't an overly complicated task on these cars.

 

Me : 500

LOL

but I'm out of NYC now ... and you are @ west coast ... meh

 

I got my car back as expected. I also got all the replaced parts back which I appreciate. Nick and his team did a good job.


*** UPDATE 01-27-13 ***

I spoke too soon. I left for a business trip and didnt get a chance to carefully analyze the state of my car.

All the major pieces so far are working however we have some bad side effects.

1) My door panel was not reconstructed properly. My corner window speaker is falling off and the window seal is not lined up right

2) For some reason now, my AC motor is not firing up when I turn the AC on. Button light works but nothing starts, no cold air
* this was not broken when I dropped it off... now its not working. I hope its a simple fix for them.

3) Cooling fan now sounds like a damn lawn mower when before it was just a normal sounding fan turning on to cool my car.
Since they had to replace my radiator, I'm wondering if they didn't re install everything properly/tightly.

I'm dropping it off Monday (01-28) for another inspection. All I want is a working car. I hope this is not the trend for this shop.

 

that would have been a good option for me at that price.

 

depends on who's doing the work,
my clutch went out while visiting in vegas
i was the only car worked on starting that
morning, my car was not finished until
9 p.m. that night. very long day
