I will be visiting them soon and have full confidence that my project will turn out properly.

In February 2020 I came to Phil with a basic build for a 1995 Miata turbo engine. It required basic…read moremachining like line honing and boring the cylinders for oversized pistons and a head skim. Throughout the process Phil caused numerous delays, lost parts, and let the work drag on. It was nearly 6 months, in August 2020, before Phil returned the completed longblock to me. While running low boost during break in, a freeze plug popped out. My tuner and I suspected that the head had lifted due to improper installation, in which Phil was paid to do. This would allow compression to get into the coolant cavities and force that plug out. Phil was accommodating and replaced the plug. However, when the plug was replaced the motor had low compression so I specifically asked Phil to test the head. He never tested the compression but "fixed the compression issues" (at my expense) and gave the car back saying the compression was good. He and his partner mechanic claimed the compression was off due to the timing belt being two whole teeth off! Two days after driving the car again, another freeze plug popped out. The car went back into their care and custody in which they decided to blame the tune that the car has been running absolutely fine on throughout its whole life before that engine was built and during. Phil and his mechanic claimed this tune destroyed my engine and I would have to source a whole new block! Subsequent diagnoses by a separate, trusted, machine shop and tuner proved that the gasket blew between all cylinders and into the coolant cavities. There was absolutely no detonation or any potential tune related issues. The trusted shop has examined the head and stated "all valves are leaking and have sealing issues. This could be due to a lack of proper valve guide issues or other valve concerns. The cylinder head is already well below minimum thickness before any additional machine operations were begun." Phil machined, assembled and installed this head and was specifically told it came off an engine that had overheated so we needed to make sure it didn't get skimmed too much. The piston rings were not properly gapped causing the rings to buckle and melt the pistons. The oil squirters were not installed correctly and were found in the oil pan. This was all discovered by a different shop. His neglect and inability to work with his customers caused over a year of wasted time. His lack of craftsmanship and inability to take accountability for his work has left me with an inoperative and expensive engine that has never run correctly since he rebuilt it.

Big Waste of Time. My first time to a pick and pulll yard and I was really let down by this place…read more I got off work early to get there before they closed and even called ahead of time to confirm they had the vehicle I needed. They said they did. I show up, talked to the front desk and waited to talk to a rep. The old man I talked to had leather wrinkled skin with not one bit of enthusiasm or empathy for me explaining it was my first time. I saw him being short to the customer in front of me. Someone needs to get this grumpy guy out from behind the desk. Anyways, he tells me they don't have my Lexus Rx but apparently the part I needed was compatible on a Highlander. So he points me in the direction at the end of the lot to find the vehicle by myself. I knew better than to try my luck asking for someone to walk me out. I go, I look, I can't find the white Toyota he showed me a picture proving they had. I find another Highlander but it's not the same year, neither has the same part on it. I call the front desk to get a better understanding instead of walking back with all my tools to do so... they answer and put me on a 12 minute hold before I hung up the phone. I stand puzzled and soon find a lot forklift driver to help me out. Surprisingly he was very patient and helpful with my questions. That was a relief. He tells me the car I'm looking for isn't in the lot because it's new and needed to be staged. He tells me ten minutes but i waited in the location with the other highlanders thinking he would bring the new one to me in ten minutes. Well it took me 25 minutes to find him bring it in to the front of the lot. Again the caliper on the Toyota did not match the one on my Lexus and I wasn't going to risk paying for a part that is said to be compatible. What should have been a successful 1.5 hr trip turning into 3.5 hour let down. I don't like leaving reviews but because I've already wasted so much time what more is a deserving review of this place. Fix your front office! I will say this review probably won't matter because they do well from an operation standpoint by having a large lot and wide selection however I'm still going to be bitter, leave this review and try my luck with other places.

I responded with "okay" and was going to ask if I could put a part on hold to come pick it up or if it was a first-come-first-serve basis and I was hung up on before my sentence was over. You just lost business because I was going to buy an un-tinted one and just tint it myself. Will not be shopping again with this company.

Two months ago, I had my break pads and rotors replaced here. I dropped off my car in the morning…read moreand was able to pick it up by early afternoon-quick and convenient with reasonable rate. Today, I went back because I started hearing this awful squeaky/grinding sound coming from one of my front tires/brakes. Emmanuel (Owner) put my car up on the lift, took off tire, examined it, and was able to find a small rock caught between the tire and the break. He showed me the rock and where it had lodged itself. After putting everything back together, he handed me my keys and sent me on my way-no charge at all, even though he spent a good 40 minutes fixing it!!! I'm so thankful for his help, his labor, and his precious time. Most importantly thankful for his honesty. He could've easily said I needed new parts, but he didn't. This time, I didn't even have to leave the shop. ( made an appointment yesterday) He took care of my car as soon as he became available. The only thing I didn't like was actually the customers in the small waiting room on their phone playing games with sound on and talking on speaker phone. No etiquette. :( Recommend by my friend who used to get service from the previous owner of this shop who also was an honest man. I will definitely continue to come back here.
