"Great machine shop. It was my first time rebuilding a car engine β€” a 1999 Buick Century 3.1L V6. I gave them my bare block; they cleaned it, honed it, decked it and the heads for a corrosion issue, and put my new pistons on. It's got about 4k miles on it now and it's running amazingly again. I was probably a little annoying but they were kind and I appreciate their patience."

"It was my first time at a machine shop and I needed a head resurfaced. They cleaned up the head really nicely, so I went back with the block and girdle to get those cleaned up too. Thanks for the service!"
