I'm using my wife's account to add photos for a previous post. It shows the engine stamp pad for my 1964 corvette before and after it was decked by Greg at Performance Clinic. As shown, the pad is deeply scratched, broach marks removed, and deck machining extending far into the pad. This was after I clearly stated that the pad needs to remain undamaged during decking as this is the original motor for a beautifully restored car.
Greg definitely knows better than this with his many years of experience and prior comments about another customer sending a block out-of-state to add broach marks to simulate an original motor. (He understands the need to keep the pad surfaces original.)
When confronted, Greg tried to say that the scratches were already there. (Can't be as the scratches are on top of the decked portion of the pad.)
I'm still sick over this, but will get over it eventually.

This shop is very unprofessional and not fully transparent.
We dropped off an engine based on the prices we saw ONLINE! The pricing looked very reasonable and affordable. So we gave them a chance. We show up to drop off this engine and even asked the guy "how close is your ONLINE pricing" he replied "it's pretty close"
We assumed "pretty close" would be like taxes and Maybe 50-60 dollar difference based on labor.
Come to find out they never disclosed to us that their ONLINE pricing is from 2018!!!!! We got our bill and they weren't even finished and it was TRIPLE!!!! so we raised all kinds of hell. The rude lady that works there wanted to act like it was our fault we didn't know the pricing by saying "well those are old prices from 2018" we were thinking how do we know that, if you never tell someone!!!!
The professional thing to do is disclose from the START "sir I want you to be aware, our online pricing is incorrect, if you wanna follow me inside and we can show you true to date numbers and see if you still would like to use our services" THATS WHAT YOU DO!!!!! Especially people who are trying to enjoy this hobby on a budget!! Not just spring a 1500 dollar unfinished bill on them. For a 4 cylinder.
I Highly recommend you stay away from this company.
The gentleman also disclosed if you leave your parts there for to long, he will sell them.
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!!

Not really sure how best to rate this, so 2 it is. I'm sure they do a good job at your standard 350 Chevy, or anything that isn't too overly complex.. but this was not the case with my 400 Olds. They were behind the 8 ball from the start as the previous shop I had the engine dropped the ball on their end, so the first attempt at assembly was put on hold due to the wrong bearings ordered, and bent rods. After I was able to locate new rods and pistons I was put at the end of the line. They did however order correct bearings, new valvetrain components, etc. Once assembly began again, all seemed to be well until pickup. I was supposed to have the carburetor rebuilt and run on the dyno.. which didn't happen. The engine was run on the dyno solely to break the cam in with a carburetor they had in house, but was unable to make a pull.Once I got the engine in the car, we spent 3 days chasing our tail only to realize it was 180° out from where it should've been. I also spent a little over a year, multiple carburetors, changed intake gaskets multiple times, changed spark plug type, chasing a low vacuum/poor performance/low compression/poor timing issues only to finally break down and verify that the cam was 16° retarded. At one point I called and was told the timing set supplied did not allow the cam to be degreed, even though the cam card required it to be installed 2° advanced.They will not rectify the issue without me pulling the engine and scheduling it back in the line.. options that I don't have. So after meeting thousands of dollars, this engine is currently apart in the car in my garage while we change timing sets to allow it to be degreed as it should be.In summary..if you want an assembly shop- Performance Clinic will suffice. If you want an engine builder who will make sure everything is correct.. look elsewhere.

Greg decked the motor on my 1964 Corvette. The cutter marks extended into the engine pad and there were deep scratches across the pad. He had sanded the pad but didn't think that caused the scratches despite sending him photos of the clean, original pad taken prior to the rebuild. Broach marks are gone now, scratches remain. The true test of character is admitting your mistakes. Greg failed. I won't be back.
