I had an engine with a badly spun bearing and they were able to save my crank, rods, and block as well as get me the required bearing for the machine work that was done and the price was outstanding. I asked them how much to assemble the short block and they said they were selective about the engines they build, this didn’t turn me away it actually made me more comfortable with them. I couldn’t recommend this shop more, if I could give more than 5 stars I would. The work they did was great and I will use them again. They know their stuff and have great customer service.
Fantastic machine shop. Talk to Paul. He will get you set up. Economy, street, race, they will get you going. I had a set of new heads inspected and touched up. Plus they worked over a crank and got my oil tolerances right.
Nice and people with a big knowledge about engine work. They giving great advice about your engine. Got fixed my cylinder head and cleaned. I'm happy with their work. I do recomend them! Thank you so much!!
From start to finish they were absolutely respectful and do qaulity work. I brought in a 454 bbc that was trashed and they were able to clean it up and save the crank. And they were pretty quick as well and would keep you updated. I highly recommend and will use them from here on out!!
One year ago we took our boat to get the motor rebuilt from the block up. This was when Dennis was the owner though, a good man. They felt so confident about the rebuild they warrantied the work for two years. Not even a year later, the motor has sixteen yes, sixteen hours and a piston ring went. I called these guys up and they blew me off entirely. Told them about the warranty even and they chose not to help whatsoever. Instead they quoted me $1600 just to re-ring the motor. Mind you this is after $5000 has been put into the rebuild already. Long story short, do not waste your time here. At one point they were a wonderful shop. Unfortunately due to their new ownership they have PROVEN themselves to be a shady mechanic shop. Do no deal with them. I don't enjoy writing poor reviews, however, being a local I think it's important to steer people in the correct, honest direction to good quality work. Unfortunately, it's not at this shop.
In response to your reply. Your guy who built the motor, Jeff. Still is known to work at your shop. Dennis himself did not build it. YOUR current mechanic did. Also, you tried to give me his number which has no voicemail whatsoever to it. For all I know you're giving out a false phone number. As for "working with me on this" you flat out said what you've already wrote down. You have a new name but same staff. It is up to you as a business owner to attempt to make right of this situation. Seems to me you want to wipe your hands clean of a warranty.
They cleaned my 390 up, got me sorted out with a polish, hone, head job w/new pos stop seals, and paint touch up as well as rings and bearings. (I'm doing the assembly myself)
Good reasonable prices and they worked with me on a timetable. Kind of wish I wasn't moving because I like this shop. Would pay the extra shipping in future to have them do any future work.
Keep in mind covid and parts shortages have delayed many industries. They worked with me and gave me a reasonable timetable and then still got ahead of schedule. Be patient, communicate, and understand everyone wants an engine built right now with a national parts shortage.
10/10 would recommend.
SCAM YOU OUT OF YOUR MONEY! Took my small block 350 that my husband rebuild just to have it gone through. (Quoted $700 including minor work which i already felt was high) they called and said just a few things needed to be done (around $200 extra, i ok that extra work but felt for price it should be included so add $200 now $900.00). Then I get a call engine is done to the tune of $1400 ( keep in mind the engine already had new parts and was already rebuilt so nothing major was replaced no pistons, rods, rings NOTHING) they took it upon themselves to do a bunch of extra work (that wasn't nessasary) and that was not authorized, talked about or asked for and thier excuse is to warranty it. (I didn't ask for my engine to be gone through to have any kind of warranty just to make sure everything was good (had sat for several years in the garage). Now for $1800 I could have taken my original engine in and had a complete rebuild and kept it original, so I can not fathom how they are justifying charging me $1400 for minor honing (told piston rings to tight, no boring done) and minimal camshafts work. They replaced NOTHING! Do I lose my engine that husband put 1k into or do I just pull original engine and take to a more reputable place for $1800.00 that I know won't screw me over.
I have had 20 plus engines built with these guys over the years, for both personal and professional jobs. I have never had any issues with the work performed. Everyone is knowledgeable, helpful and professional.
