Owner

Never have I used somebody so unprofessional in my entire 30+ years in business. D&D was established since 1990 I know all the engine rebuilders on the island and nobody has anything good to say about Dave Conway he is a con artist and a thief the police are very aware of this con artist better business bureau has multiple files he takes your money promises to do work and then doesn't even call you back this guy is a supreme piece of shat do not use him and if you don't believe me just call any machine shop on Vancouver Island they all know about Dave Conway especially in the last two years he's ripped off more people and has more excuses and stories then a high-rise apartment building.

Guy definitely knows what he's talking about. Was a little sceptical after reading past reviews, but his performance and quick turnaround time means I will continue to use his service. He seems to be one of few in the area who use the torque plate method of boring and honing. Also his technical understanding of the Nissan RB engine had me sold. His shop is not pretty and don't look like much but his work is outstanding! Thank you pro power!

Absolutely, hands down, best private marine mechanic in all of Vancouver Island. Had a Searay which needed repowering. Pro power not only repowered it but made the boat functional for our needs. This guy knows what he's doing. Amazing knowledgable mechanic.

Good machining at a great price but service is unreliable

A huge thank you to Dave and his assistant for their work on my 2004 Land Rover Discovery. I originally brought my LR into Pro-Power with the infamous “tick tick” of a slipped cylinder sleeve. The repair work required a total engine tear down/rebuild. Despite several setbacks as a result of sketchy repair jobs done by the previous owner, the work was still able to be completed at a high standard and on budget. After the initial rebuild, a couple parts related defects came up. After a quick email to Dave, he was able to correct these faults in a timely manner with no questions asked. Several months after the initial rebuild, the LR is going strong. I would highly recommend Pro-Power Engine & Machine for any major engine machining/repair.

Had Propower in Saanich rebuild my old GM 4-bolt main 350 block. When it come to the cylinder heads, he told me that the heads I provided were no good for the build since the ports were too big. Then mentioned he had some GM 441 head cores kicking around the machine shop he would sell me for the engine. I agreed. Well I ended up pulling one of the valve covers to check the casting numbers and discovered they're not 441 heads like he told me they were. They're GM 416 heads from a 305 engine. I should of checked right fresh from the shop upon pickup.
