Default Looking for local RX7 repair garage, chicago area

I have a 1986 RX7 in excellent condition, I live in the northshore area of chicago illinois and NEED to find a garage that can take care and replacing the original stock muffler system on the RX7 and possibly a tuneup.

Other than driving 100's of miles to get this done there is no one that I know of whom can order a replacement for the original stock muffler and put it on or knows how to work on a 86 RX7.

I contacted the dealer were it was purchased back in 1986 and they seemed clueless other than be buying a new RX8.

ANYONE here on this forum can give me direction would be greatly helpful.

This is my second RX7 and love the car, one owner (me) 83 thousand miles, garaged kept and well still fast as fast can be. Except it now sounds NON stock!!!

Awaiting someone with info.

Thank you.

the rotary engine isn't so different that you need a rotary shop to do a tune-up and exhaust replacement. still just plugs, wires, filters, fluids, etc. the exhaust is also pretty simple as far as direct replacement.

parts here; www.mazdatrix.com
