Review №1

Called to have my LS1 inspected and rebuilt, and Mike answered the phone immediately. He talked with me for a good 10-15 minutes about what I wanted and answered all my questions with enthusiasm. I dropped the motor off the next day, and was told it would be a 4-5 week turnaround. Throughout those weeks, he called numerous times to run things by me, offer recommendations, or update me on the status of his parts orders. Each time he was very friendly, and would chat for a while. He never once sounded too busy to talk or answer questions. After the 5th week, I got the call that it was done. Drove up, motor was wrapped up and they loaded it into my truck. I had the invoice and receipt in my inbox, and everything was exactly as discussed and prices were reasonable. They were VERY thorough with their work and didnt cut any corners.I am so used to automotive techs acting too busy to talk or being short. Mike was the opposite. He always answered, spent the time to talk things through and ask questions, and accommodated me changing my mind a couple times on heads/cam. He will definitely be getting my next build.

Mike and his guys salvaged and built me an Ls3 out of an iron block that was poorly machined by another shop to say the least. He took his time and explained different options and answered every question and concern I had with enthusiasm despite being swamped with work. I asked if they could have it done by a specific date as I was leaving town and they delivered early. The quality of work was exceptional and the prices were honest. I recently had the car dynoed and it performed flawlessly as expected. I will be a returning customer.

They resurfaced one of my heads and did a valve job. Turned it around very quickly - roughly 24 hours! - price was great and the staff are knowledgeable and very professional. They have a number of very cool cars in the back. Seems like they do a ton of performance work as well as general machine shop services. There was a built LS3 on a stand that had me drooling.This was also one of the cleanest shops Ive visited, which is a great indicator of an organized, experienced mechanic.Ill be back!

Great place to have your motor built... or if your looking for a new motor. Give them a hollar. Ask for Mike.

Waited for 3 weeks just for a quote on head work/cams. Called multiple times, left voice messages, sent messages on Facebook, etc and never could get a response. They may build the best motors there are, but Ill never know. Quoting a price for a service you say you can provide is the most basic responsibility of a business. If you cant do that, then I for one cannot trust you with my business. I got fed up with waiting and decided to go with a shop 4 hours away (Houston), because they quickly respond to emails with quotes, and have a website with listed prices. 21 reviews and they are all 5 star? Seems pretty fishy to me after my dismal experience. Either they are buddies that arent waiting in line, or they are paid for. One thing is for sure, regardless how well they may machine a hunk of metal, customer service is not their priority.

Best machine shop you will find in DFW! Mike the owner and Chase who works there are the best in the business!!!!!! I am having my 1972 Olds 455 built there and they have been extremely helpful and knowledgeable. This will be an amazing engine! If I had to give them a 1-10 rating, it would be a 15!

I went to Mike based on the reviews and I am glad I did. They took care of me quickly and for a fair price. What more can you ask for. I would recommend to anyone needing motor work. Thanks Mike!
