    Quality machining, helpful advice

    Brought in a crank for polishing. Bill gave me some great advice on what bearings to use. Good service and quality, just wish they had more parking.

    Professional engine machine shop

    Needed a block decked and cleaned. They handled it with real care. Very clean workspace and the staff is genuinely knowledgeable. Highly recommended.

    Knowledgeable machine shop staff

    These guys saved my cylinder head. They did professional work and had it back to me exactly when they promised. Really good to have a shop like this locally.

    Reliable machine shop work

    They fixed my cylinder head issues effectively. The turn time was reasonable and the price was fair. I'll definitely keep them in mind for my next build.

    Avoid if you need it fast

    Ruined my deadline because they couldn't finish a simple boring job on time. Communication was non-existent. Won't be coming back again.

    Amazing quality engine shop

    Bill is a true expert. He helped me identify a hairline crack that saved my entire engine block. I couldn't be happier with their attention to detail.

    Average parts and service

    They have what you need for most engine jobs. The service is standard. Nothing great, nothing terrible, just a decent shop to have around.

    Extremely rude staff

    Walked in and was ignored for ten minutes. When I finally got helped, the guy behind the counter was incredibly rude. I'll take my business elsewhere.

    Expert help every time

    They are the only place in town I trust with my performance builds. They always stand by their work and the advice they give is actually helpful.

    Overpriced and not worth it

    Thought they would be cheaper than the dealer, but I was wrong. The bill was way higher than the estimate they gave me at the counter.

    The best shop in Palatka

    Always professional and the quality is unmatched. I bring all my engine components here and they never miss a beat. True craftsmen in the shop.

    Average experience at best

    Work was fine but the counter person seemed annoyed by my questions. Not the friendliest place, but the machine work seems solid enough for the price.

    Top notch engine parts

    Whenever I'm building an engine, this is my first stop. They have the parts in stock or can get them fast. Great staff, super helpful.

    Good parts selection here

    They always seem to have the bearings and rings I need in stock. Saves me a lot of time compared to ordering online. Service is usually pretty good.

    Skilled machinists, fair prices

    Bill is the man. He rebuilt my rods and everything is perfectly balanced now. Hard to find shops that still do this kind of high-quality work locally.

    Best guys for machining work

    These guys know their stuff. Everything I bring them comes back better than factory spec. If you care about your engine, take it here.

    Good work but slow

    They do great machining but man, they are slow. Had to wait an extra week for my block to be finished. Call ahead to check their schedule first.

    Messy work on my manifold

    The machining was okay, but they left a bunch of metal shavings inside the ports. Had to spend an hour cleaning it out before installation.

    Okay shop for small jobs

    The parts selection is decent, but the machining timeline is always hit or miss. It's fine for simple stuff, but I'd be careful with big projects.
