Great quality work..Bbc came out Awsome..A++++++++++++++++++Nick Sr.is a legend..Went above and beyond my expectations..

First I have done business with Rescino Performance before with satisfactory results. In August of 2023 I ordered a Ford small block motor and gave them a $3,100 deposit. They told me the motor would be done in two weeks. Over the next few months I made many calls to find out when the motor would be finished and was always told soon. On 10/27 I visited and was shown a motor they said was mine, still in pieces. I asked for the parts in trade for my deposit and was refused, I asked for my money back and was refused. It is now late December and they have not contacted me despite a registered demand letter. Unfortunately It seems that I will need to sue them for compensation. I have reported them to the Bureau of Automotive repair and am awaiting their investigation. I highly caution anyone to do business with this firm. read more

Well it happened! After months of each system that Rescino worked on for the rebuild failed today is the day I knew was coming. Full engine failure from there rebuild. Car started knocking and grinding art acceleration popped off the oil filter and metal shavings everywhere in the oil and engine just about at full failure and totally undrivable. About to sue this place into oblivion. See the extra pictures an read more

Rescino Performance - WTF? Rebuilt engine rtrnd w/ mismatched heads.4 engines to rebuilt 3 w had major problems like this. Do reviews matter? Pix=1000 words - Auto Repair Near Me - San Francisco, California

Awesome place for anything car related. They rebuild a lot of v8's. They can work with aluminum or iron blocks. You can rent out their dyno machine but call and schedule prior to going there. read more

This place is the worst! Here are a few things about this shop. See my experience below 1. Very Rude 2. Sloppy shop 3. Doesn't explain their service 4. Overpriced 5. Increase prices from original quote 6. Actual techs don't know what they're doing 7. No management oversight I brought my car here for a dyno tune. I made an appointment for 1:00pm. I had to drop my car off by tow truck 10:30am as they agreed. I walked in the front door and wasn't acknowledged till I said something to the few guy standing around talking, including Mike. James helped me and we parked the car. James said Mike has one car he is starting before mine. He said to come back at 1:00pm for the dyno tune. It went down from there. I arrived 15 minutes early. Nobody acknowledged me again. I waited in the entry till 1:30. Mike the guy who does the tune came over and said its time. He acted like he couldn't be bothered. No discussion about engine or modifications, nothing about the process, nothing about what to expect. I had to stop him and tell him what has been happening with the engine. When we went around to the service entrance he had a shop person load my car on the dyno machine. Mike disappeared. He went somewhere else. 20 minutes later he took off in his car. He returned at 2:00pm and told the guy who loaded my car "it's in the office". So now I've been standing around this shop for an hour an 15 minutes, no conversations, no offer to wait in the office, nothing. They make you feel like they're going out of their way and doing you a favor. With the garage being empty for 15 more minutes, they know I'm waiting and standing around, I walked back to the business office. I asked Mike about my 1:00 appointment. He said the last car took longer and he is at lunch at will get to when he is done. This guy was so rude I almost fell over. I said it would be nice if he let me know what was going on or offered me a place to sit and wait. He said I can sit in the entry area. There are no seats in the entry or area shop area! Then he told me it was my fault for bringing my car there at 10:00am. By this time I knew it was over. He said I could take the car if I didn't like it. This guy is the shop manager. Unfortunately the owner was on vacation so there was nobody to go up to. Needless to say, I took the car. I had to call a tow truck and have my car towed home. I think I made the right decision. They had just taken a car off the dyno machine before loading my car. I watched them do a few runs with it. Then when they parked it, they could not turn the car off because the timing was set wrong. Never take your business here. read more

Nick sr. Nick jr. GREAT people, nice work, friendly, and helpful!!! Steve has no morals and is a spoiled @#$= head..... read more

Yeah it's not in the best neighborhood. Yeah it looks a little crowded when you walk inside. My experiance at Rescino Performance was excellent. I was treated courteously throughout the rebuild process. They always answered the phone and politely answered all of my questions. Overall a great experience. They did a great job on my Chevy 350. Fair price. Would definitely use again in the future! read more

I work for a shop in the city and had to find a new place to have cylinder heads machined. Found Rescino and would never change again. Fast and very efficient, prices are competitive, always done on time. - Dan Johns Jaguar Service read more

Plain and simple - just don't do it. Find someone else to help you with your project. You will be glad you did.

Master Mechanics do still exist! Nick helped me with a high performance 383 I build ten years ago and it ended up pulling 489 hp at the wheels! Not only was their knowledge top notch, their customer service was right on! From an open door policy at the shop to my phone calls, they always took the time to answer my questions, research my parts and gave a very fair price for all the work done! Well done guys!

Just got my 72 Monte Carlo 383 sbc Dyno tuned here a few days ago. Nick Rescino and all the dudes in there are really honest people and respectable. Steve the guy that does the Dyno tuning really knows his stuff and got the car running like a beast. When I came in a had a lot of bog in the secondaries of my Holley 750 vacuum sec. He played around with the timing and carb, got rid of the bog and got me another 20 rwhp out of it. Nick told me on the phone that the only bog i would have when they were done, was the tires roasting to the asphalt. He was right. Right on brothers. read more

Nick has been building kick ass engines for 30 something years. The amount of knowledge in that place is insane. Recently his son, Nick, has taken over and he is great as well. I had a 455 rebuilt there. They told me exactly what to get for my street type combo. The motor is insane. I can't wait to dyno it! read more

Just took delivery today of a custom transmission flange for my all-terrain project. Really happy with the result.

Beware Nick and steve , cheating Of My friend customer, One of my best friend Often bring the cylinder head services. But last week , Nick and steve . One of his employeed Dishonest and liar to Him about serviced the head job, throw away the vavles stem seal and never cut the valves seats like it promised and not issued the Invoice receipt by law. Don't trusted those guy, better and make sure have Invoice and make them write down every decripition, or you pay more and Riff-Off the job never done Good luck looking for machine shop read more

I brought an early 50s Ford engine in and the guys at Rescino were able to go through it and bring it back to new. These guys stand behind their work and were able to see it all the way through to completion. There were even some details where they went above and beyond. read more

Recently my 2007 sky redline began running terrible, shacking sputtering and stalling. I took it to the dealer as they have been servicing the car for several years now. I was terrified when they reported to me that the car had 0 compression on several cylinders and the rebuild cost was going to cost more than the car was worth. I called Rescino Performance looking for a miracle and that's what I received. Via phone they were amazingly nice.....as though top notch customer service was what they do...this surprised me as I have had terrible experiences with rude arrogant mechanics in the past. When I arrived I was a bit taken as the shop is full of engines...a lot of them! and I guess I was thinking the shop would look like a tv show...you know the type...shinny floors, bright paint and exotic cars on lifts...nope just engine blocks and greasy guys. I have to admit I was worried. Turns out this shop and team has that rare passion for cars, engines and that long standing pride in what they do that you pray for. This is an honest, confident polite shop that I would gladly take my car too anytime! Truly the best!! read more
