New Miata owner, and boy did I get lucky right out of the gate. Rocky is a MASTER, at his craft. I know cars, and really appreciated the extra time and attention to get my car 100% ready for the road (2012, got used but looks new) I will not take my car anywhere else.2/16/17:RAKE!! Ran over a Damn Rake on the freeway! Took out the Condenser and the Radiator. Looks like were going to Rocky's for a week of repairs. Glad no body damage, always a silver lining.

Rocky is the best! Not only is his skill & knowledge of Miatas masterful, and his prices very reasonable, but he's a great guy all around as well.

Had the clutch changed here on my 2001 Miata. Rocky was very friendly and was able to change my clutch in just a few days for a fair price. I will definitely be returning here for future repairs - can't recommend Rocky and his shop enough!

What a great mechanic! Rocky was very professional and very helpful. I need a new engine for my 2006 Mazda MX-5 and Rocky walked me through every step, including where to find a donor engine. I dropped off my car on Wednesday and he had it ready by Monday (he doesn't do weekends). I also had a new clutch, flywheel, and radiator installed as well! He found an issue with my clutch master and replaced for me, what a nice guy! I whole heartedly recommend this shop to all Miata owners as well as the shop next door Good-Win Racing!Thank you Rocky!Services: Transmission, General repairs & maintenance, Engine repair

Rocky is awesome. I've been looking for someone to do the timing chain replacement on my Mazdaspeed6, but no one wanted to touch it until I called up Rocky. Plus I wanted someone who specializes in Mazdas. He was the perfect choice. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Now my speed6 doesn't make that diesel engine like sound anymore. You just have to he patient and plan ahead as he's a one man show in there.

Dropped off my 01 Miata to get a turbo installed. Took a little longer than expected, Rocky was going through some personal stuff but he made sure everything was perfectly installed. I asked him a whole bunch of questions and he had an answer for everything. Very nice guy.

Rocky is hands down one of the good guys.....Great mechanic, honest and a straight shooter. He takes pride in his quality work and it shows. There is a reason why people gladly wait to get there Mazda's and Miatas serviced by his shop.

Rocky is the only person I'd let work on my cars. He is very experienced, knowledgeable, and a really great guy. His prices are always very fair. I can't recommend him enough.

I found Rocky's Miatamotive through the San Diego Miata Club. My Mazda had a problem passing smog and I wanted someone who is familiar with Mazdas to work on it. Although I didn't own a Miata, he was more than happy to work on my 2003 Protege5 Sport wagon. We set a date to drop off the car the week of Thanksgiving. He gave me an initial quote and would advise me on the phone once the diagnostics had been done. He phone that afternoon, told me the problem and was quoted a figure that I agreed upon. He had to order a part and being the holiday, I didn't expect to get my car back until the following week. To my surprise he phoned me on that Saturday to inform me my car was ready to pick up and the amount was exactly as he had quoted. He referred me to another shop to run my smog test again and it passed with flying colors. Thanks to him, I was able to register my car. He was a life saver.The shop was wonderful to work with. They always kept in touch with me every step of the way and he stayed on budget without gouging me with unnecessary repairs like some shops I have dealt with in the past. Very honest and trustworthy.Rocky's Miatamotive will be the only place I will take my car to. I highly recommend this shop to anyone and will refer other Mazda owners her as well.

I'm a very first proprietor on a 1999 Mazda Miata, I have actually had it permanently. I've taken it to the dealership and also a few other areas. The dealership was not able to deal with a rear emergency situation brake concern. Rocky could.Rocky has repaired every little thing that damaged on my auto, from the engine mounts to the gas pump.The outcome is that my vehicle is still an everyday driver.Thanks Rocky.

Best Miata mechanic in town. Honest and up front about the costs of repair, which have always been reasonable. Better to call him as soon as you know you need work because this shop is BUSY!

I started taking my first Miata to Rocky back at Densteadt's in 2001, and he is the best Miata Mechanic in SoCal.
