Doug is a magician with rotaries. Not only did he get my dad's car back in smooth running condition but he was quick with responses to any questions. My father recently passed and I received his rx-7. I called Doug to see if he would be willing to talk with me about what was done to the car. Not only was he more than happy to chat with me, he also sent over all invoices for my records and told me I could contact him with any future questions. Doug cares about his customers and these cars at a level I've never come across dealing with other mechanics before. He understands that these cars aren't just cars, they are memories, and driving machines that illicit a visceral feeling unlike any other. If you have a rotary that needs some love, stop looking around. REspeed is the only option. I am

Detailed review below, but first, the quick takeaway: Doug at REspeed is fantastic—knowledgeable, honest, and genuinely helpful! Now, for the full story behind that conclusion: My 16-year-old son has been diligently working and saving money since he was 14 to buy his first car. Recently, he came across an RX-8 and asked if we could go check it out. While I'm familiar with classic cars (I've owned a '71 Mustang Mach I, a '77 MGB, and an '09 Porsche 911S), I'm not exactly a gearhead and admittedly knew next to nothing about rotary engines.

Without realizing they weren't local, I reached out through their website with questions after reading D

Recommended highly ! my rx-8 is running better than ever, thanks for your service !

Doug is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and informational. He runs a fantastic rotary engine shop and will get your stuff back to you in a timely manner. Not only will he get it to you quick, he will get it done right, the first time, no coming back 3 times because of something small. You will also learn so much about your car and engine while talking to him. A fantastic human being running a fantastic company, cannot recommend him enough.

I reached out to Doug at RE Speed with the crazy idea of taking an RX8 and turning it into my ideal daily that is also at home at an autocross and track. The first thing you should know about Doug is that first and foremost he wants to get things right. That began by questioning whether this is really a good idea, 13 year old rotary vehicles aren’t for everyone after all. That desire to get things right carries through to everything he does whether it be researching the best direction for the build or hands-on with the car. He and Darren will make sure that everything is just right. As an example, for the first time ever - I’m a little on the tall side, I have a car with perfect seating position (and one well known for poor positioning for tall drivers no less).
