Great machine shop to do business with. Its hard to find people who know what they are doing and what they are talking about these days when it comes to critical engine work. The owner is very easy to work with, very knowledgeable and his employees are friendly and do a great job. Im very happy with the work they did on my Ford 390 FE and will be back for future projects.

I came in with a cylinder from my PWC that needed honing for a top end rebuild. Though I knew what I wanted to do but Mike steered me in the proper direction to make sure that honing vs. piston selection matched. Clean, well managed shop, with an Owner that understands customer service. Thanks Guys.

Mike and his guys were absolutely the best. Their attention to detail and customer service are second to none.

Mike, and his employees are the greatest. The reason his employees are great is because Mike takes care of his employees, and Mike has enough knowledge to be able to show and coach his employees through a process they may be new at. I had a DZ302 motor stolen out of my shop, and through sheer luck found it almost three years later. After i picked it up the next day i dropped it off at AAM. Then i forgot it was there and Mike never said anything, like when are we going to build your motor. He is more then a businessman, and treats his customers like best friends. There is never and pressure and Mike is honest, and his prices are good. His employees are also very friendly towards their customers and you feel like your hanging out with best friends. Mike built the 302 with a few modifications that i requested like 3/8th pushrods instead of the stock 5/16th, and 7/16th studs on the heads for the valve train instead of the stock 3/8th. Several other tasks were done and the result is a motor that i had tested and got 457hp at the rear wheels. I have over 700 miles on the motor as in Arizona i don’t drive it in the late spring to early fall because of the heat. Mike was always available to answer questions when i was installing the motor. The result is, it doesn’t burn any oil or use any. He told me how to drive it to break it in and for how many miles which i followed to the letter. I also had him do a bronco motor as well. If i ever need another motor to be built, i will pay to have it shipped to AAM from Arizona, because out of the several shops here none come close in cost, knowledge and customer service, before, during and after any work is done. They are the best of the best.

Mike and his crew are an excellent source for any engine machining service! Mike took on my tiny 3 cyl motor helping me revive an old Subaru Justy. I’ve had some other Subaru engines taken care of here as well, the only shop I’d recommend to anyone building a motor of any size!

Super knowledgeable, had some issues with another machine shop in the past so was a bit weary but had this place recommended by a couple trusted friends. No regrets, they did some block machine work and balancing for me, everything came out perfect to the exact clearances I was looking for. Will be using them for all of my future builds.

Had a Mitsubishi 3000 gt Vr4 Flywheel Resurfaced here. They did a great job. Really quick turnaround time. Im looking forward to getting more work done here. Thanks a lot guys.

Quick turn around on my work. Helpful info from the shop.

This was the first time Ive gone to a machine shop to have work done. Mike was very helpful and spent a good half hour just doing a free inspection on my Subaru EJ25 block to let me know what he recommended and answered all of my questions without making me feel dumb or pressured. (Ive been a technician at a dealer for many years but machine work is not my specialty.) Im happy I picked his shop because he did a great job honing out the cylinders and filing my piston rings to fit, and at a decent price. Its also worth noting that his shop does most of the machine work for the Subaru shop InFront Automotive in Auburn and hes one of very few in the area that can do proper machine work on Subaru engines.Either way, I recommend this shop for whatever engine machining needs you need!

After blowing out head gaskets on my Gen VI 454, I decided to rebuild it as a 496. I found Mike and his crew at Auburn Auto Machine to be super helpful in the process. They offered great advice and expertise to help me through the project. The work they do is some of the best Ive seen. I have since recommended them to everyone I speak to that is looking for machine work.

Mike and his team built my big block Ford, and I must say that I am very pleased. I explained how I intended to use my truck, and Mike gave me a couple options for the build. After much contemplation I decided to go big!Couldn’t be happier, not only with the end result, but the entire process. Mike runs an honest shop and has a great knowledgeable staff. I have no hesitation in recommending them!

Mike rocks, a very clean professional performance auto machine shop. No BS, strait answers!

Thanks to Mike and his crew for a very timely and professional job. The heads look and work GREAT.Mike took the time to walk me thru the process and recommended some upgrades to the old 289 heads.They work GREAT.Thanks to everyone at Auburn Auto machine

Hands down this is the best shop in the Seattle Tacoma area to have your motor built or have head work done. Extremely meticulous work and awesome personal one on one customer service! Thanks for building the best motors! Definitely referring your shop to all my friends!

Best machine shop around hands down. Mike takes the time to show you whatever your interested in seeing on your engine, Whether its the cc of your head or cylinder to piston clearances. Doesnt make one choice without running all options by the customer first. All the clearances were spot on. Thanks Mike!

In my initial discussion with Mike@AAM, he described his process to freshen the head on my old M3 track car. I liked his do it right approach and scheduled the work. He provided and met the delivery date and after a successful installation, I have a sweet running engine. Many thanks to Mike and his team!

I have had multiple engines and odd jobs done over the years with Mike and Brandon. There attention to detail and workmanship is great. Alot of my friends go here as well and have all had great results. Ive had engines range from 300-1000hp done here with zero issues. Import to Domestic they got you covered.

I’ve had my personal engine and many customer engines built by this shop with nearly remarkable results! They balance and blueprint these motors to the T! As far as engine machining goes they are hands down my go to place.

Excellent work and attention to detail. Have used them to machine several 1000hp+ engines and always impressed by the outcome. Great crew of guys who are always willing to help ataatt your goals.

Best machine shop around and the only one i will bring my business to. I refer anyone who appreciates good quality work at more then reasonable cost. Mike and his men know what theyre doing and have my trust 100 percent

Ive known the owner 14 years and he knows what hes doing in a high performance level has an outstanding crew and clean shop Auburn Auto Machine is professional and badass

They did my RB30 block assembly and I couldnt be happier. They also installed my spline drive setup which is not common for shops to do in this area. Highly recommended.

Amazing service! Truely unmatched I have never been to a more helpful shop that builds engines right the first time!I will look to auburn auto machine for all my engine builds and machine work from now on.These guys are top notch!!

Mike and his guys are top notch and by far excieded my expectations, so happy I have found this place and look forward to doing more business with these guys!.... And as far as the comment below that guy needs to post on the correct page before leaving a bad review on someone elses reviews. The one bad review on here is not intended for these guys..... Thanks Mike and Auburn Auto Machine!

Probably the best engine rebuild shops within hundreds of miles. These guys are always swamped. No advertising, just word of mouth. Theyre doing a different engine for me because the first was built so well. You get what you pay for.

Mike and his crew are awesome! The quality of work is 2nd to none.

AAM built my motor and i was 100%happy with the out come! Mike treated me like family and was up front with everything

I went to get my flywheel freshened up, So happy i chose AAM, The turn around was same day, it came out looking brand new! 10/10

Dishonest, overpriced, and rude. Try and find someone else if possible. Theyll milk you for every dime you have if you let them. Owner is a dirt bag.

Very knowledgeable guys
