I've never been the confrontational type let alone someone who writes reviews but the way I was…read moretreated by Pat was unacceptable and needs to be addressed. Pat is a bully who can't take accountability for the mistakes of his shop. I took my head in to get resurfaced and checked for cracks. When his employee was taking the head out of my car he dropped it and cracked a trim piece in my trunk. I didn't notice the crack, or the fragments that I believe to be from the head, until I got home from the shop. Upon discovering the damage I went straight back to inform Pat. As soon as I mentioned the crack he became very defensive, telling me that it was my fault his employee dropped the head and that he would have L&I come after me because his employee cut his finger during the drop. I'm not sure he knows how L&I works but regardless I bet L&I and OSHA would love to know that his employees aren't using proper PPE. Then, I went to go retrieve my head because there was no way I wanted them to work on it after that and on my way out of the shop Pat threatened to "come at me" if I even thought about writing a bad review for their shop. When I asked him if that was a threat he backpedaled and said that he would blast me on the internet if I wrote a bad review. At this time it was obvious that nothing positive would come from this interaction so I decided to remove myself from the situation and leave the shop. As I was loading the the head back into my car he proceeded to follow his employee out to my car because his employee wanted to see the damage. Pat sounded upset about it saying that his employee "wanted to be a nice guy" in a very condescending tone. I could tell that the employee felt bad about the situation. I hold no bad feelings toward him specifically but I do feel bad that he has to work for such a terrible person. All of this could have been avoided if Pat was able to handle the situation professionally and take accountability for his shop's mistake.

I try to understand other perspectives and not leave negative reviews but I wouldn't want anyone…read moreelse to be treated in the same dishonest, confrontational and disrespectful way as us. My son was quoted a flat rate for resurfacing heads and then upon returning to pick them up the next day, there was an additional charge for 50% more on top of the quote. The owner itemized it as "removing the pulley gear" which was never discussed when we dropped the part off and should have been mentioned. But the money wasn't the biggest issue, it was his attitude toward me and the way he bullied my son when we had questions. I called to ask why he didn't mention this fee when we dropped the heads off (or called us to okay the additional fee) and he didn't have an answer. He later told my son it was because he wasn't paying attention and didn't have time to call us and ask...that's negligence on his part that he then passed on to us. When I told him I would have appreciated a call and that wasn't right to surprise us upon pick up, he told me if I didn't like the price I could just leave our parts there and forget about them, call the police, or file a claim with the better business bureau. What on earth?! He also condescendingly said to my son (whose car part it was) "if you didn't have your mommy call to ask about the charge, and instead discussed this like a real man, maybe I could have cut you a deal." Absolutely unexceptionable. Bullying a teenager is not a good look. A customer should be able to call and ask for clarification when they're paying for a service. Stay far away from this business. They're untrustworthy, extremely disrespectful and then confrontational on top of that.

Brandon hands me a invoice for an additional $400. Said he had to do extra machining? I had already paid for valves and springs. I looked down in the intake and exhaust runners and noticed that he had taken my new valves and installed used burned valves. Trying to get one over on me, hoping I wouldn't notice. Even when I came back and showed him, he did not give two.shi$$s. So I had a talk with the guy who did the initial head job. Reluctantly, he gave me back my $400 but only after I caught them. Use them at your own risk, and if you do, check to make sure the work was done correctly and parts are not someone else's junk.

This shop is old school alright, old school crap! STAY AWAY! go to heads up or Johns Machine shop…read more They took my heads may 29 2025 by august 19th 2025 I grew impatient. I had never heard once form them. I had called and been in the shop at least half a dozen times, and Ive always been told in a week or two. At one time I was told Brandon was on jury duty. So finally august 19th I went in and picked up my headders (he was suppose to use them for port matchuing) I then said, "have you even started yet" and Brandon told me yes, that they would be done the next day. So 2 days later I went to pick up my heads and they were hacekd up and then welded. Even the Owner Scotty Jay said WTF when I first talked to him. Some of the welds were huge and ugly bubbles. Everything including the springs and passages were painted. I assume this was for a testing application. But painting the springs? that is trash work! I don't know how long those will hold. I happen to work for a mobile welder, We use welding inspection tools let that sink in. His welds are TERRIBLE! I digress, Brandon painted every surface of the heads, including the springs and the oil passages and I don't want that crap flaking off into my brand new engine I just rebuilt. I have all sorts of machinist tools and repair many mechanical things. However, I am not setup for head work. SO, Yea I had a thousand dollars cash in my hand. Im so glad I asked him why he welded cuz he started stuttering and saying some crap about the springs were too big, I wanted to yell but I listened. He said everything is find. Don't worry. I stuffed a piece of chocolate in my mouth from their counter so I did not say anything stupid and left mumbling "Im trying to be nice" I did scream im not stupid and FUCK you from my car as I did a burn out leaving the shop spit the chocolate out of my window towards their shop. IF THE SPRINGS WERE WRONG CALL THE CUSTOMER! I repeat! you never called me ONCE. Some back ground? I ls swap cars, I repair semis and diesel trucks. I have never found an automotive repair I can't do. I know what Im doing. They may be able to bully most people around with fast whizbang talk but not me. Can't bullshit a bullshitter as the saying goes and I know my shit. Surely not as well as them, they aint dumb, BUT THEY WILL HUSTLE YOU! STAY AWAY

Over the 5-10 minute call, I felt as though he was uninterested in meeting me where I was at, offering me advice, or perhaps he just didn't want to touch my engine. To give him benefit of the doubt, I HAD called near closing time. Also possible that he's overworked... whatever it was, I understand. That was my sole verbal interaction with a representative of this company. Several weeks since then, I've emailed Action Machine Shop with specific questions regarding work I'd like done on my engine and requesting a quote. I have not heard back in 4 business days. By this point I've seen zero interest from Action Machine in taking my money & business. I may not be their ideal client. At this point, between two well-known shops in the Seattle area, I'm happy sitting on the 6-month waiting list for Pacific Auto Machine. I'd rather wait my turn than beg this shop on my hands and knees to work on my lowly Toyota 4 cylinder, let alone teach me a thing or two.

Action Machine has detailed pricing on their website and from that I quoted the customer a price. 2 hours of my labor to remove the head and an hour to drive to Action only to find out the prices on their website aren't accurate. The new price was +$200 more than what I had quoted my customer. This is called Bait and Switch, is dishonest and broke any trust I had with this business. Didn't feel I could trust them if they told me I had bent valves, worn guides or a warped surface. Discussed with the customer and they decided this was out of their budget and had also lost confidence in this shop to do honest work. I retrieved the head before they did any thing. My customer will bank the $$$ and just put up with the rough idle.

As a 50-yr metal working and mfg. veteran, I have to say, Limited Productions is probably the most…read morequality-conscious machine-shop I've ever experienced. Not only is their work dimensionally accurate, every component is meticulously deburred, clean and packaged. Owner, Glenn Ryan is the "real deal" in technical knowledge and metal-working experience. Somewhat quiet, with a dry humor, he is exceptionally thoughtful in his approach to processing methods and scheduling...he's the kind to ask, "Glenn, how would you make this part". Ltd.Prod. is equally strong in both turning and milling, and just as willing to do a proto-type, as a 1000-pc run. They're equally experienced with stainless, aluminum and plastic and have mfg'd all of the above for me over 5-6 years. They quote their work and honor they're quotes. Delivery times are pretty "on the mark". If Glenn can't meet the requested date, he'll tell you so on the front end, not on due date. Prices are mid-range and fair. But quality exceeds other shops, so I consider the value-proposition to be better at Ltd.Prod. They deserve 5-stars!
