I own a 1960 Chevy Belair. I knew it had a burnt valve when I bought it, but it was all original…read moreand in such great shape at such a superb deal, I couldn't pass it up. We just don't find these rare cream puffs much anymore! After the head was taken off by a mechanic, he found out it had a cracked piston below that burnt valve. So, I did a ton of research, and where it used to be you could find machine shops all over the city - NOT ANY MORE! One place had a 9 month waiting list! Whoa! I finally found James, at Independent Cylinder Head. He could work on my engine in about 2 weeks! And the quoted price was really reasonable too!! Super nice and helpful on the phone, and after talking to him for a while, I find out he has tons of experience at other machine shops. He went out on his own, and is the owner of this shop. Great! I picked up my engine from the mechanics shop, loaded it into my pickup, and dropped it off for James to work on. We decided to not do a rebuild, with keeping old parts that were still good, but do a re-manufacture with all new parts. The only old parts were the block, the head, and the crank...only because it wasn't available brand new. My engine will be essentially brand new after he finishes!!! It didn't take long at all and I was over picking up my new engine! I dropped it off at my mechanic, and waited for him to get to it. Not getting into all of that wait - Phew! He finally got it done but the mechanic I had chosen, couldn't get it timed right, and wasn't patient enough to work through it! I would barely run...and I certainly couldn't drive it as it was. I was outta there. This mechanic had no affiliation with James at Independent Cylinder Head. Since he had been so helpful and kind, I called James and asked his opinion on what to do. He said he had a mechanic buddy, that he used to work with for a long time, that had his own shop. He'd call him for me and see if he could do my timing/tune up. He called back soon, and I was in to his buddies shop in 2 weeks! He had a couple of jobs ahead of me. I had my car towed to his shop. The day after I dropped it off to the new mechanic, two hours into the day, he called and said my car was all fixed and was running great and I could pick it up! WOW! James came through for me again! What a quick and good mechanic friend he had. I went to pick up my car in Milwaukie, OR and drove it home to Beaverton, OR without an issue! I was doing 60mph on Hwy 217, with my little 6 cylinder 235cu.in. without effort! It was purring like a kitten! Just like I wanted!!!! :) Little did I know, the mechanic called his friend James, after finishing my car, and told him how it was doing. Then, a day later, James called me to make sure everything had gone well with his recommended mechanic friend! That was a surprise! ... What a nice man James is to care so much about his customers to call and find out how satisfied I was with his recommended mechanic friend. I told him I was super happy with the mechanic, the speed he fixed it in, and the low cost, and how happy I was to hear from him (James). I don't care if you've called 50 machine shops across the country and found one you figure you'll use. STOP! Call James, and TAKE YOUR ENGINE TO HIM! We just don't get this type of incredible service that James supplies anymore! I would think I was back in the 1960's and he was right down my street and gave me the neighborhood friendly service or something! I highly suggest this very nice and dependable machine shop owned by James. I'm gonna be 69 years old in 2 months, and I'm telling ya, we just don't get this lucky very often anymore to find this exemplary service from shops! If anything, we hear about how so & so shop charged so much and didn't do a good job after paying that much! Not so with James! He takes me back to when incredible service was THE MOST IMPORTANT THING in doing a job for a customer. James is a one of a kind GEM!

Some friends recommended Precision Motor Car, so I gave them a call and wound up taking our car in for routine service. I wish I'd made this switch sooner!

I planned on doing some suspension upgrades as well as some engine modifications and I called Dina sport to see if they would be able to do that kind of work. I asked if I could provide the parts they said that I could, however, they would not be able to warranty the work. I was OK with that. I washed the car by hand the morning II brought it in to be looked at (something I always do so they see I care for my car and hopefully they will as well. the damage that represented below in the pictures did not exist at that time. I had prior quotes from BMW, the other from another independent repair shop both of whom claim that two wheel bearings need to be replaced and both lower control arms on both sides (4) needed to be replaced. The shop called me back having not discovered either one of the wheel bearings and only finding part of the suspension issue. Wanting to charge $1000 and not knowing what parts they were putting in and being told that they were no longer for some reason allowing me to bring in my own parts. I declined that repair from them feeling like they had missed the Mark that was discovered by two other repair shops and Les Schwab tire. I had them go ahead and do the expansion valve and a hose which was causing a coolant and a cooling problem. They told me I needed a new battery which I said, go ahead and do and to pick up the car, was shocked to see the battery charge $600. I expected three or $400 never 600 did a little research while that's very much on the high side and It's not what I've ever paid before. My car was backed in against another building with the nose pointing out so I could not see the driver side of the car where this damage was. I drove straight home and didn't drive until today when I noticed the damage. I feel inveigled with a bait and switch, I feel like they obfuscated damage that was done and I feel like they overcharged for the replacement of the battery and then did not stand by what they originally represented. The damage is clearly done by the lift not being positioned right on the car.

My car was done so much faster than in my other experiences that I genuinely had trouble believing it. Car was dropped off unable to move on a Wednesday and by the following Monday it was ready for pickup - totally blown clutch, flywheel, and a few other items that died in the process. The pricing is extremely fair, less than I was expecting honestly, and when I got there I was also walked through some other potential issues and maintenance items to be mindful of. From what I could tell I got a very thorough inspection while it was in there. I will not be bringing my car anywhere else - DynaSport has a customer for life.
