Don has always taken great care of me on all my machine shop needs.

Motor Machine is an incredible resource!Great OLD SCHOOL machine and Hot Rod Shop!

Worst people to work with 100%

These guys know what theyre doing. I would bring any machining needs here and not have any worries.

Great work, competitive prices, great selection of speed equipment in stock

Couldnt even press in a ball joint for me. I brought my hub in to have my ball joint pressed like I thought a machine shop would do. I guess the little jobs dont matter like the big jobs. Dont bother with this shop.

Great friendly service. Very knowledgeable staff.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Experienced highest level of quality service ever hands down... Personality a bit abrasive but the man is a genius. Honest & fair

Not to be trusted. They give your parts away before you can look at them and build unreliable motors. My engine lasted only a couple thousand miles before a valves hit pistons. There are far better engine shops in the area you can trust.

Don does awesome work and is always respectful and assists with questions I may have. your great car guy with nothing but good jokes and resourceful answers.

If I could give this company 0 stars I would. PLEASE BEWARE OF THIS SHOP. I came in here a few days ago trying to purchase some new parts for my Ford, and was approached by a man named Donald. He offered to help me, well, I instantly regret coming in. He told me he was the owner and if I had any issues I can return the items within 30 days. I felt extremely uncomfortable as well because he kept staring at me periodically as I was looking around. A few days later I go to visit my mechanic who was going to install the parts, however told me they were far off and not compatible with Fords. I ended up returning to this shop and spoke to Donald, again, who told me he would not offer me a refund. I was definitely taken advantage of. I’m a single mother of three working two jobs. I cannot believe the way they treat their customers. I am reporting them to the BBB.

Best machine shop period bar none. 5 motors and zero issues. Be nice and you get treated nice. Prices compare with Summit on parts. I WILL NOT USE ANY OTHER SHOP. I have in the past and thats why I use Motor Machine. Don Mike and Rick are the Best.

Best machine shop ever I will recommend this shop 100 % to anyone there who needs work done heads, blocksThanksLeo Gonsalves

Once you get to know the owner he is awesome. They do excellent work and really care about their customers. Ive been dealing with them for almost 30 years. Don will go way out of his way to help you.

Absolutely fantastic great service great people

I didnt realize his quote for building an engine for me was quoted lower for purchasing parts through him. I located parts for a lower price that I brought to him to use. He explained his quote and I explained I was a novice and did not realize how he quoted me and offered to pay him more to compensate for any loss of his. It seemed like he understood and he would build the engine. Months went by and I went to check on the engine. It had not been completed and the owner gave me an attitude like described in other reviews. You can quickly tell he is not someone to try to talk to or work with. He must have the money and customers to not care how he treats people. I lost all desire to continue my project and counted my losses making sure I left him with enough money to weigh on his conscious, if he has one. On top of it all he knows Im a disabled veteran with very limited funds and I was hoping to use my truck build in my recovery from recent surgery and dealing with life as a disabled veteran. I hope this helps to prevent anyone else from being treated like I was.

Dont spend your time or money anywhere else. The owner Don is a very knowledgeable and honest guy and the front man Marshall is straight up with you. There were some difficulties with my rebuild but they let me know up front and didnt give me the runaround. I will be doing a lot of business in the future with them thats for sure!Thanks Guys!Jim Siepert

Nice supply of a.n. fittings. Nice turnaround time on a valve job for 2 big block chevy heads.

This shop has the experience and equipment to do any job. My experience at Motor Machine was nothing short of stellar . Not only did the owner spend his time to explain all aspects of my build, but he also explained the pros and cons of some information I have gotten from a few forum boards. This was without spending one cent.The prices were extremely competitive but more than that the knowledge was second to none. Another high point was all machine work would be performed in house, which is rare because out of all the shops I called (10) in Sacramento, this was the only shop that didnt have to send certain components out to be machined.In turn the engine I bought from Motor Machine is an extremely strong combo and made more horsepower and torque than anyone with the same combination on various forums. All was verified on their SF-902 dynamometer. This speaks volumes to me and anyone thinking about having an engine built.I wouldnt hesitate to have Motor Machine to do any of my future builds. If you are on the market to have any machine work done or looking to buy some performance parts check out Motor Machine you will not be disappointed.

Badass shop

The staff is abrasive which is not a lie. I stopped by to get a estimate on doing some head work and installing new valve/springs. I felt very uncomfortable and frankly out of place. They seem to specialize in older domestic cars which is fine but not what I own. Based on the most recent reviews I will not be using their services as the place does look dated and they do not do foreign cars it seems. Also dont bother to email them as the replies are slow, and blunt, which is fine but does not install confidence in someone wanting to be a customer and have such a critical engine part worked on.

Absolutely the WORST customer service. Extremely rude.

I had a horrible experience with the owner of this shop. Lets just say this guy promotes violence in his workplace and threatens two keep your vehicles even when no services were done. This guy is extremely rude and has no customer service skills whatsoever only cares about big purchases. I had a friend tell me about his experience. He recently went to the shop to purchase a few items but the owner ignored him. By the time the owner talk to him he said he only deals with big purchases that his small purchases doesnt make him any money. Once again he was extremely rude to a customer.

This is the worst shop ever!!!! Very rude owners!! They treat people very bad and they tride to fix my cranck but they coulnt and they took the deposit for what they did even tho they didnt fix it, this is the first and last time i will ever go there!!!

Honestly these reviews are unbelievable. Motor Machine has matched Summit and Jegs on every thing. Nothing they have done for me has ever had an issue. The owner can come off as abrasive, but that just adds to his character. This is my favorite place to go seek advice and spend my money.

Great shop good work despite the critics! 1 of the best tuners for GM

Best machine shop around

Good fast service. Very affordable.

If I could give less than one star I would. They are one of the worst businesses I have ever dealt with. Don is so grumpy he shouldnt even be working anymore. The place is a pig sty, which should have told me how unorganized and awful my experience would be. They dont communicate, even when Don would promise to call back within an hour or by the end of the day, he NEVER returned a call until I left a message that I was done waiting (after 3 months of trying to just get a price from them) and was picking my motor up. When I got there it was in 15 boxes spread throughout the building and they couldnt even find everything. When I took the parts to another builder they found the pistons were out of round because Motor Machine had dropped them. Valve guides were destroyed because they removed them wrong. The crank they turned was unusable because they over turned it. They still have some of my parts but I know I will never see them. Dont believe me? Try talking with Grumpy Don and look around that pig sty when you go in and see how unorganized it is. Decide for yourself but BEWARE! Don is beyond a jerk.

Friend of mine with a 2.0 Mitsu was sent there. They rebuilt the engine. $2500.00 Well the engine sat in my friends house for 6 months. He started to get ready to install. So he took it back WITH the plastic wrap on it and all there tags. They wont re-set the warranty. Other shops have no problem doing that. That is a normal thing. In fact they were rude and basically told my friend to go Scr@# him self. Cant believe what I herd. No wonder they say you cant go back and see the shop area. There hiding somthing. The other reviews are correct. Go elsware.... UP DATE. 5-5-13 Things they did wrong.. The timing was off, belt tensioner installed incorrectly, the balance shaft that is driven off the oil pump is sticking and causing the oil pressure to drop. This destroyed the timing belt. Now I need to pull the engine go in and remove the balance shafts and install an eliminator kit or re-do the balance shafts correctly. They should spin nice and free. Not lock up and make a squeaking sound. They lost the balance shaft plug, left out the fuel pump rod. Miss adjusted the MCA jet valves, They have no idea how to work on a Mitsubishi.STAY AWAY. They might be OK with a domestic engine but any shop can build them. It takes a mechanic to fix somthing technical where you need to pay attention to detail. So this week I will go through the engine with my friend and check all there work. I should not need to do this but how can we trust what they did. No oil pressure is a rookie mistake on there part. We will have a complete wright up on this engine on MightyRam50 nnet, including pictures of what was done wrong. They did not even clean up where the front seal rides on the crank

These guys treat customers like garbage. Stay away.

The owners are really nice people!

Best engines around

I love this place

Rude to me

Great information

Customer service sucks...
