Had my motor (sbc factory roller cam block) over 7 months bored my block .060 over when asked for, 030., #4 cylinder ruined, now I know why he didnt charge for boring the block. Stay away from this shop! Now I have to replace the block which is very hard to find!π Even had the nerve to charge me 350 for head work knowing he ruined my block and hid that fact which I discovered after getting the block homeπ€
Big Machine THANKS! Steve and Atom built this original FE 427 and it couldnt have come out any better!!! They took the block, inspected it and built it from the ground up. Bored 30 over, new pistons, street/strip comp cam, valve springs and all the machine work to make it right. This went into a 1966 Cobra 427 S/C.
Dropped off jetski 4 cylinder engine block to be cleaned after returning to pick it up it had salt all over and oil residue still when questioned why its. Like that when I can remove dirt by hand I was totld they dont use acid and was asked to leave the shop just like that.Rude people and overpriced, I did not even mentioned anything about price I did not even had a chance to talk as soon as I pointed ths salt and oil i was told to leave!!!!!!
Steve was a big help answered all her questions answered the phone every time and was good service
Big Machine has completely rebuilt 2 rare heads for me, finding the parts, and painstakingly doing the work so as not to damage the aluminum head. Theyve also done various bearing presses for me and other machine work. I love their enthusiasm, attention to detail and fair pricing. I dont worry about estimates, I know theyll do the best they can with what I give them. Old school and glad they are.
Amazing service from steve and all the guys in there. steves been doing this for so long you can really tell hes a wealth of knowledge regarding engine building, and doesnt hold back giving great advice. super quick turn around too, all for a great price. shop is kept clean and organized and you dont have to worry about them losing any of your stuff like other machine shops are known for. i cant wait til i have a reason to go back.
The guys are very good at what they do they dont want to sell you anything but what you want for your particular application. They also will help you achieve your goal without busting your wallet. They do exactly what you want in a timely fashion and are very reasonable
Steve straightened me out after Comp and Summit told me I had to change a lot of parts I really didnt need to. Very knowledgeable based on many years of experience. Many thanks for saving me a lot of cash!!
Dropped off a cylinder and head to be cleaned. The guy I dropped it off with said the cylinder head look like it needed to be milled. He gave me a price and I told him if anything else needed to be done to just let us know. When I got the head back it still has large chunks of carbon all over also three cracked valve seats. I brought the cylinder head back they want $30 to magnaflux after they have already machined the head. Im not sure how a machine shop would think this is okay. I was told it was my fault for not specifically instructing them to make the repairs for the defects that I did not know were there.
This is the only machine shop I will go to in Florida. Very honest, great work, and very knowledgeable.Steve and his team are a pleasure to work with and I will definitely be back for more of their amazing work.
Fast turn around and great attention to detail. They can handle late model complex parts and price their work very fair for the quality and speed. I trust them to solve the problems other shops shy away from.
Built my 1000 hp Camaro and dart shp block claims 750 max . Been together for over 5 years. Keech is the man.
I was out of town buying a car at a classic dealer I needed help on another project I was working on Steve went out of his way to help me find a engine block nobody had we called several shops and without charge sent me to get it THANK a million to this high integrity shop they are honest and well known in the local area for excellence THANKS Steve you are Da man
1997 Honda Civic EX coupe with stock D16Y8 engine. Blown head gasket 8 months ago. Brought cylinder head to Steve (owner) at Big Machine and he performed a resurfacing, cleaning, valve stem seal replacement, valves lapp, checked for cracks.He charged less than other local shops I called and the cylinder head was ready for pickup in three days.I waited to give my review because I wanted to put some mileage on the engine before doing so. 10k miles later and all is good. Steve answered all my questions and is very informative.
Did a fantastic job on my engine. Great prices too.
Blew the 350 in my car, came to the big machine and the owner Steve really helped me out. I told him I was on a budget and he came though with a 383 stroker engine that is the most powerful engine that I have ever drove, and the project came in right at where I needed it price wise. Steve and the crew had the engine built within 2 weeks. Everyone in the shop was very helpful and very family oriented. The engine was built in October of 16 and its the healthiest engine I have ever heard, I get stopped at least once a day about the sound the engine puts out. Steve I just wanted to say thank you and I will be a costomer for life.
These guys do all our machine work Steve and Chad are the best in the business having done at least 100 engines without a hitch I have know Steve for 15 years he does what he says and his word is golden
Had my motor done here pulled by Classic cars in Sarasota Steve did a great job the motor is smoother than ever before and the turn around was 5 days if you need machine work this is is the place
Rebuilt my Corvette engine it never ran so good ever I bought the car new its now way better Steve and the crew knows the Chevy motors for sure love it
Guys take off early and donβt show up at all some days. Makes it hard to get the parts you were promised. Thanks a lot Steve.
Steve is the man on and machine work and his honesty is beyond any other shop
Very nice staff, work was clean and ready fast.
Very bad experience- job carried out incorrectly and tried to hide when i brought the cylinder head back!!Never again!
Great service, fast turn around time
