Will be bringing all my work here from now on. Did a really great job refreshing a 12v BMW cylinder head for me. Fair pricing and good communication.

I don’t normally do reviews but I just had these guys rebuild a big block Chevy for me and I was so pleased with the amount of professionalism and knowledge of their whole staff especially Larry and David , and customer satisfaction is a high priority to them . They truly are the best in the business

Absolutely awesome! That honestly may be an understatement, I dropped a set of heads to be resurfaced and I expected paying more than I did. They removed the broken exhaust bolt, cleaned and resurfaced them. Friendly service and kept in the loop the whole time.
