BIG thanks to Mario for replacing my clutch! He is still the same humble dude since the first time I met him 3 years ago when he removed my supercharger.

I met Mario about two years ago back when my apjuan was completely stock and i had some issues going on with my car that i couldnt figure out. Being new to the s2000 world i didnt know anyone that had any knowledge with our cars and when I did bring the car to a shop they gave me ridiculous quotes for work they werent even sure was the issue. I actually found Rogue Motorsports on instagram and messaged mario to see if he had any answers. As always mario pretty much knows everything about s2000’s and he helped me solve my problem. Now back to present I dont let anyone work on my car besides mario unless its something i can handle on my own. Recently mario has installed a rear bump steer kit, a roll bar, Ballade clutch and flywheel and probably other stuff i am forgetting. Conclusion is if you are in the area or if you have questions about your s2k Mario is your guy.

Nice post! I chatted with this cool cat the other day going about 5 mph side by side in the shit traffic LOL! Staying busy with a F- series motor in the truck bed.

Hats off again to Mario. My rear bearings were starting to make some noise, and although tightening the axle nuts last year did help, he warned then that the bearings and hubs will eventually need to be replaced as the damage to them has already been done. Fast forward a year later after my first track day, the car started making creaking and groaning noises coming from the rear - just as he predicted. I got a hold of him, and despite both of our busy schedules, I made the trip from Redwood City Friday afternoon after he generously found a way to make it work by working on my car late in the night. Got my car back the next day and was surprised on the way home by how much quieter the car was. I thought it was all in my head at first until my girlfriend said the same thing. I really appreciated how he took the time to let me ask whatever question or concern I had once I got the car back.

Even though he's pretty far from me, he's really the only guy that gets it right working on this car. Thanks again, Mario!

I have known Mario since we were trading sport compact car and super street back and forth in high school about 16-17 years ago. Just had him do an alignment, and some mugen LCA bushings a while back, good dude!

Default Thank you!!!

My clutch began slipping pretty bad, so I reached out to Mario who quickly assigned me a day to bring in my car. Overall, he did my clutch, serpentine belt, and fixed a leaky O-Ring. So, If you need any work on your S2000, don’t hesitate to reach out to Mario. He’s a consummate professional who takes pride in his work. Thank you once again Mario.

Props to Mario, open the shop for me on a Friday evening to get my AP2 valve retainers in. Great person to talk to too! I learned a ton from him while he worked on my car and we just talked.

Highly highly highly recommended!

I highly recommend Mario; he is very knowledgeable on the S2000. He is great to talk to and very friendly. His work speaks for itself. He is located in Brent wood CA. He is flexible and will work with you. We dropped me off at Bart so I didn't have to bug a friend to drive out to B town.
I just started with the S2000 game and I had a bunch of issues with my car. Mario was great in showing me whats wrong and fixing the issue.
I had my AP1 to AP2 Vales Banjo's, and ATC clutch and oem disk; he can do pretty much most harder things I don't trust myself to do correctly.
A++ Guy
