Reviews
"Top notch, great guys to deal with"
"I ordered some parts from the website and when they arrived there were pieces missing. After a few emails back and forward we worked out they dissapeared during transit. They were very quick to sort the issue and had new parts on the way pronto. A++"
"Jon is hands down the best man to contact if you need any work done on your rotary. He is quick and knowledgeable and goes the extra mile"
"I give Jon my nightmares and he takes my problems away :) I've taken my RX7 to Strange several times for many things both minor and major. First bit of work was a compression test. He fixed the door handle in the same visit. Next I had him install some seats and carpet, and fixed the tach which was bouncing all over the place. Jon threw on a driveshaft loop as the goal was to get the car certified and it didn't have one. he somehow managed to fit in a K&N on the turbo as well. An injector seal burst later that year and caused a rather major engine bay fire. So I had it towed to Strange and had some more work done. Replaced the exhaust which was too loud. Jon really knows his stuff (or he fluked it) because the db reading afterwards was between .2 to .4db under the limit = PERFECT; Removed an exhaust leak due to a dodgy exhaust flange that had been welded to the manifold; Actually put gaskets in, where gaskets are meant to go; Welded up the Power point frame that had a giant crack in it; Upgraded the injectors (due to damaged wiring from the fire) and the fuel pump; Had the ECU replaced with a Link. Jon was up till the early hours of the morning installing the ECU so that the car could make it to the dyno the next day. Called me when the tuner said the car was at it's limit. Relayed to the tuner that I wanted the current HP goal to be hit; After that, we noticed some of frail air vents had been broken during one of it's visits and Jon hooked me up a with a deal on replacing those. He even stayed later to help me fix up the seats (because certification). PROS - Probably the best communication of all the places I've taken my cars. Received updates on progress as things got done. I was given a call and provided multiple options whenever we encountered new issues. Has contacts where I can take the car their and know anything can be fixed. CONS - The tach failed after the first visit, but was quickly fixed the next time I took the car in. Driveshaft hoop wasn't radius'd on the underside. "I'll be back""
"Jon's expertise and attention to detail are second to none. I dropped off my FD RX-7 with a standard, blown engine, and left with over 400rwhp. The level of care and finish is equal to any I've ever seen either in magazines, or in local workshops. If you own a rotary, or any high performance car for that matter, you don't need to go anywhere else."
