These people are ripping my dad off. He supplied them two engines and asked them to make one good one. He paid them $1750.00 to accomplish this. After receiving the engine, it ran for about 5 minutes. When he pulled the valve cover, he found both bolts loose on the cam sprockets and the cam bearing caps on incorrectly. Not only that, the bolts were loose on the water pump access cover. My pops is a talented mechanic who didnâ€™t have time for this repair to help out his stepson (who is a new father and in need of a reliable car) due to his own job working on aircraft. Now, because these guys â€œhave no warranty, written or impliedâ€ he has to redo what he paid to have done right the first time? Unacceptable!! The parts were overpriced to begin with and now we find that pops could have bought an engine with a warranty for half the cost, the insult is even worse. I am honestly not sure what mechanic shop has no warranty on workmanship - thatâ€™s a new one to me. Whatâ€™s even more shameful to me as an A&P mechanic myself is the lack of cooperation, accountability and fairness in light of such sloppy mistakes. Iâ€™m ashamed that these guys call themselves gear heads but maybe that is slang for we slap it together and throw it out the door? Sadly, I would think that with a 5 star rating, they would make things right instead of leaving my pops hanging when all he was doing was trying to help out his stepson. I understand mistakes are made but how they are corrected makes the difference between a good company and a bad one.

I paid $100 for the privileged of having my parts ruined. I came to this shop to have a flywheel match balanced and 6 mounting holes drilled. I first called and was quoted $50 for the balancing, but when I arrived the next day it had doubled to $100. As I was asking for quick service and eager to complete my project I consented. I wrote exactly what I needed on the invoice including the dimensions of the holes as well as written on the flywheel. When I came to pick up my flywheel he explained that because it "looked" neutral balanced he had not bothered to check it at RPM and had instead spun it by hand (ignoring the balancing service I was paying for) and had over drilled the holes specified at 25/64 to 13/32 because he had not read the invoice. They claim they cannot offer a refund and would instead do the work again when I bring them another flywheel ( I am not filled with confidence). If my experience is anything I would not recommend this shop if you want machine work done right.
