Do not use this company! Took my Samurai engine on 6-18-14, have not returned as of 8-31-15. Lost? Sold? I'll never know. Lots of promises, no delivery. Should be prosecuted criminally.

Long story short Isearched for a machine shop to perform some basic machining of my Subaru engine components as I am prepping for an engine build. When I say "basic", I'm referring to the clean and hot tank of case and crank and inspection to get crank main/rod journal specs and specs of case mains and a crank polishing.Upon receiving this data i would give the OK to whatever machining was necessary. I finally get the call that all dimensions were in spec rod journals had 1 cut, 2 pistons were size a two were size b. When I drove the hour trip to pick up my parts I was appalled by the lack of quality of lack of attention to detail Dawn put into the job. No oil gallery plugs were pulled to get a proper cleaning of the case, there was a chunk of sealing surface on the top of one of the case halves missing and he had no dimensions recorded as to what size rod and main journals measured; or the size of the mains on the case measured. Overall i left with a engine case that had the integrity compromised and no dimensions as to what bearings to order for the build. I gave Dawn a simple job to gage whether I can trust him with further machining I still need and he failed miserably. I would by no means recommend this shop for any job small or large. Tread very cautiously dealing with this one man shop.

Where do I begin! Last of the Mohicans!!!! If you have an honest, old school machine in mind (and time to get in line) this is the right place for you. I moved to canyon country about year and half ago. I was looking for a machine shop to rebuild my heads for a few old Range Rover classics I have in my collection. Sir Barrington went above and beyond. After two heads, I decided to build a new motor for one of my rovers. We have been working together for past couple of months getting regular and custom parts ordered since everyone is taking very long to deliver. I’m blessed to have found this shop!!!!

One of the last few reliable, high quality professional shops around. Don is very personable and will share with you valuable sage advice that comes from his decades of experience. Don't trust your engine to just any old shop. If you want your engine done right the 1st time, look no further.
