I brought a small project to them highly skeptical and prepared to be disappointed. They went above and beyond that first time, and each consecutive time after that. Fantastic customer service, prompt turn-around, and top notch skill to remind us that competent and professional businesses still exist. I'd give them ten stars if I could!

He moved locations and now does the work out of the shop at his house instead of the previous business location. He is friendly and happy to share his 50+ years of experience building motors. He said he doesn't do full builds of motors any longer, but he does do work on rare and unusual motors for customers still. Don't expect high tech equipment, but you won't go wrong with someone who has a lot of experience with a variety of motors.

Very happy. I…read morestarted out calling a couple other shops asking for a quote on prep for me to rebuild a motor. The other shops all wouldn't even talk to me - no one wanted to do the prep work and let me rebuild. Afraid and want to cover their a$$ if something goes wrong with the motor. Then I found larry just down the road from me, and called him. larry and i discussed what i wanted to do and he sounded excited to help. He asked for an hour to come up with a plan. He called back with a list of things he thought we should do to the motor - i started writing and after about 15 minutes and a full page, he was still talking. Quote for the labor was about 500 less than i was expecting, and there were a lot of steps I didn't even know needed to be taken. The motor was out of a 1970 TR6. Larry walked a total newbie through the whole process and made me feel very involved and let me learn as we went. My work was quoted at a rate when we started - it wound up being within a couple hundred of accurate. And larry let me throw in some extra parts for clean up in his tank for no charge. Larry also ordered all the parts for the rebuild for me - I know there was a slight markup on all parts as opposed to what I could have ordered them for myself, but it sure was easier having the man that did the prep work order the stuff and make sure all of the right parts are ordered. He also test fitted the parts and made sure everything that was shipped to him was in spec. I learned a lot, and was thoroughly impressed by the whole process. They clearly take a lot of pride in their work - everything they worked on looked absolutely brand new when they were through, and this was a 40 year old motor. The other comments about the building being old and falling down - it comes down to taste. I think it is perfect. And the shop does engine work, not exhaust work. I did ask him about brake rotors, and he sounded fine doing that work for me, too.
