These guys were open about prices... I have very little knowledge on engines when it comes too rebuilding. They didnt one time try to up-sell me. They kept the costs low and were very open about any issues they ran into. I recommend this place too everyone who wants quality work that can be backed. The prices are fair and absolutely does NOT break the bank.

A little slow on turnaround but very helpful and communicative, I brought a head in for rebuild and it took almost 3 weeks for them to contact me to let me know it was cracked in between valves, I got my camshaft back and they took care of the rest. When I find a new cylinder head for my truck or need work done i would trust them to do it, if I wasnt in a hurry.

About a year ago they did a great job cleaning and resurfacing my d16y5 Honda vtec head. They were very friendly, and even though they are more familiar with American vehicles they helped me out anyways and had it back to me within reasonable time.

So far so good. Bill runs the shop, friendly, honest guy. We talked about an engine head rework, there were some things I wanted done, and he discouraged that due to the hard to find high price parts. Glad to hear a machinist that doesnt want to jump on every penny. Was also surprised of the turn around time, I was expecting about a month because he looked busy, but its only going to be about a week. Ill update after I pick it up and see if he earned a fifth star.

Tl;Dr If you want engine work done exactly right and youre not in a hurry, go here.Long version: Theyre busy but do excellent work at a good price. However, they arent fast, so that follows the workmanship triangle: you can have the work done good, fast, or cheap, pick two. They picked good and cheap as their standard. You can spend some extra getting everything professionally port and polished too as they have access to a flow machine so its not just Bubba digging out metal and calling it good, but methodically tested for max gains. I had a little Honda head get decked with all new hardware, was surprised at the price, it was the cost of just getting the head cleaned and milled at any other shop, dunno where they claim their profits, but it might be small shop low overhead. Hidden in the attached garage behind Baxters Auto parts.

Took the head from one of my trucks here at the recommendation of my fleet mechanic, they pressure tested and handed it back several days later. Luckily I double checked and found the crack in the head they had missed. No apology and no discount for being down an extra 3 days due to their mistake. They graciously didnt charge me for planing the head a second time.

Friendly, helpful, mature and above all; KNOWLEDGEABLE staff. These arent fresh-out-of-high-school-cant-cross-reference-a-bearing-number-without-a-computer morons. Both the machinists and parts counter guys know their stuff. The place has been around for a bajillion years and is the only walk in full service machine shop that I know of whos open on weekends. They get my vote.

I took my 2007 mini cooper head in to have a new vavle seat installed and head resurfaced they did a horrible job, he told me that they didnt have the right cutter to do the job but he didnt anyway and charged me for the hack jod. If you have aluminum heads save your money and time and take them to heads up in Auburn they no what they are doing and they dont use a belt sander to resurface your head.
