there are not enough words that i can say about master engine rebuilding. i have a 2000 ford excursion 6.8l v-10 gas and i had it in the shop at brake masters 55th ave and w. bell road a couple of times for misfiring and after they charged me $1800 dollars for work that wasn't needed they never addressed the main issue, they finally said that i needed a whole new engine in the tune of $6000 or more. thats when i found master engine rebuilding and talked with the owner who assured me that he could repair my vehicle and give a three year unlimited mileage warranty. so i had my vehicle towed to master engine rebuilding and the pulled the motor and took it apart and found the number #8 intake valve was bad. so i had them just rebuild the entire motor and since they had it apart i had them install a new water pump. at no time let me say this again at no time did they try to upsell me on anything. the prce the owner of master engine rebuilding gtave me before i brought my vehicle in was the price that i paid. there were no hidden fees or price changes once they had my vehicle. this shop master engine rebuilding is a very very honest repair shop with integerity and old fashion morales. in todays world it is hard to find auto repair shop or any business with ethics, integrity, morales and customer service. master engine rebuilding is one of these rare breeds. as a business owner of a small hvac company myself i believe in the same values. i will not take any of my vehicles to any other place except for master engine rebuilding. i drive my excursion everywhere and from the time they rebuilt it to now i haven't had any problems with it. my excursion runs just as if it just came off the ford assembly line. master engine rebuilding has top line auto technicians that know there job. they do not have parts changers as we see in alot of our industry today. i honestly beleave that god has led me to master engines rebuilding. master engine rebuilders lives up to the scripture below that i have posted on here. proverbs 10:9 whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but he who makes his ways crooked will be found out. stewart sullivan air1services@gmail.com read more

Where do I start this place is horrible I had my 2000 ford f150 motor rebuilt by them 7 hundred miles and the belt started getting thrown off couldn't figure it to find balancer that they change after having 200 and something thousand miles they old one which was falling apart, causing the belt to slip off not only that was getting ready to come flying off change spark plugs and they were loose on the driver side truck only has 32,000 miles oil change done when it's needed oil pressure light started falling now I have a ticking cover it's only 32,000 miles of voter was almost 9 rebuilt was not worth of crooks. read more

I would absolutely NOT recommend this place. Not sure what's worse, the lack of integrity or lack of competence. They've got both! Before I go in detail I want to add that they will make up a BS charge and then tell you they will waive it if you give them a 5 star review. This is a violation of FTC laws by the way and I will be asking my attorney to submit a complaint for this as well as this is just one more example of their unethical business practices The owner, John, told me via email it would cost $2,600 to R&R an engine plus fluids. They charged $2,730 + fluids, probably hoping I wouldn't say anything. And they were right. Initially I didn't say anything. Until them stealing a few extra dollars here and a few extra dollars there became a pattern. They replaced the engine three times (which they're claiming is due to the engine manufacturer sending 3 defective engines, but given their tech cant even use the right gaskset and the fact that they think the dummy guage is the correct way to read oil pressure, it seems obvious they cant do much right). Anyways, so far we have an extra charge of $130 per engine × 3 engines = extra charge of $390. On the first engine replacement instead of it being $2,600, Dave used a great sales line of "YOU HAVE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF FREE LABOR WHILE THE ENGINE IS OUT". Sounds great, right? I trusted him and told him i would trust them to use their judgement and replace any worn parts they would need replacing soon anyways. Instead of the bill being $2,600 + fluids it was $5,500. That would have been fine except literally many of the parts they had replaced were parts I had just replaced at a different shop less than two weeks prior. But wait, it gets better. While replacing one of the engines they used a gasket that was too thin. When a gasket is too thin it doesn't seal properly. Looks like they overtightened it to the point it cracked. I only found this out when I took it to a trusted mechanic who sent me detailed pictures Did they apologize and own up to the mistake ? No! Even better, they wanted to charge me $1,200 to fix what they broke. After confronting them Dave agreed to refund what I paid. (Guess what, they didn't). To this point I had paid them $5,500 and had an outstanding invoices of $7,500 in addition to that. Dave called me and said that truck had been ready for two weeks and i need to come pick it up or they'd charge $45 a day(funny because their sign says $35 a day so they really just try to milk every dollar out of you) I reached out to the owner and asked to adjust this down closer to $5,000 given the $1,200 manifold issue plus the over charge for each engine. A very reasonable request one would assume. To me it appeared John must have had a difficult time understanding the details or a poor memory as his response didnt make much sense(or maybe he's just dishonest) and he refused to adjust the fradulent charges. To avoid any $45 or $35 fees because they "don't have the real estate to keep the truck" I picked it up today and paid the full balance under protest/dispute. To make matters worse, after 3 engine replacements there is still a ticking sound despite them saying the truck was running perfect now. Check back for an update in a few months after my attorney has had a chance to do his thing - this scam of a shop has a lot of experience with lawsuits for obvious reasons, maybe they'll eventually learn to stop scamming people RESPONSE TO OWNER: Lack of basic logic and honesty is apparent I'm every statement you made. FACT: Dave told me he would waive an $80 inspection fee fee if I gave you a 5 star review FACT: Your shop used the dummy guage in my f150 to measure oil pressure ....lmao FACT: Your shop used a gasket that was too small and cracked my manifold... then tried to charge me for it FACT: Your invoice was generated and signed to show a higher amount AFTER we had agreed on a lower amount.. good thing I have it in writing. I only signed your invoice UNDER PROTEST to avoid your shops charges of holding the truck FACT: I paid your shop just under $13k and your incompetent and dishonest techs still haven't fixed the problem FACT: Many of your 5 stat reviews are paid for which is a violation of FTC regulations FACT: 2/3 times I'm in your shop there is a very upset customer complaining about how you scammed them FACT: You're blaming changing your prices to "having a price adjustment"? Why was this never communicated until I went to pay and pick up the truck? You can't even keep track of your own lies FACT: The BBB Accredition is something you and other shady businesses like yours pay for in an attempt to trick unsuspecting customers... how much do you pay a year to be able to use that line of "we are BBB Accredited"? FACT: Dave told me you charge $45 a day to hold the vehicle but your sign says it's $35 a day FACT: Your shop replaced hoses that were just replaced a week prior at a different shop read more

I've waited 2 years to write this because I didn't want to attack them. I just want to state the facts. The good news is that my 223 six on my 64F100 runs okay, but I only put 2000 miles on it in two years. The estimate of $6300 turned into almost $9000. Oil leaked after the rebuild so I had to take it back. Valve noise was very loud, but they said it's just an old engine. I told them I started driving Fords in 1964 and the engines were all quiet. They put in a new clutch & throwout bearing, but not a new pilot bearing. After 1200 miles I had to pay a trans shop $900 to put in a $50 pilot bearing that AZ Engines could have easily replaced. I had vacuum leaks on hoses to my brake booster and replaced the hoses and clamps. They wired my coil backwards and it burned up. My truck is red and I asked them to paint the engine red. They painted it purple and said they couldn't find a match. Really? Who can't find a match for red? I worked with Dave and he was a very nice guy, but every time I came back with an issue it was my problem or the truck's problem. That's one reason I stopped going back to them about issues. I had to simply move on. Of course, every time Dave called me about a new development, it was my problem and the contracted estimate changed. Their shop comes across as a very professional, buttoned up operation. Maybe they just don't well with old trucks, but I would not recommend them. read more

This shop is fantastic Dave and the owner John are excellent honest professional people everything you could ask for as a customer this is the third time I've done business with them. They've done full rebuilds to just recently in my 71 Buick GS they installed a EFI sniper 2 system and it runs and drive amazing their attention to detail and their quality his hands down one of the best as well their whole crew in their shop does a great job. I highly recommend this shop and I will continue giving them my business and support. read more

Sorry To say That I Had my Engine Rebuilt here. The 1st Time it had issues with Misfiring under Load. Took it to another Shop to have it Fixed, They Checked Everything Found some issues Fixed those and still had the misfire. They concluded an internal Engine Problem. Returned To Az Auto Builders. They Worked on it Got it running Reasonable well said it was fine. Took it on a trip moving Stuff for a Friend From California to Pennsylvania. Engine Lost Power on a hill, kicked back in over-revved and Blew up. Had to Rent a Truck to Complete the Move. Had it Towed back, They Rebuild it again for a Reduced amount, not Free as I had it loaded up and put 5,000 miles on it. Got it back Same Problem. Went to a Specialist they Recommended. They Fixed a couple of issues, Replaced the Computer. Still Misfiring under Load. Shop says nothing wrong with Fuel, Vaccuum or any electronic Issues. So I am out enough money to have put a very nice Deposit on a New Cargo van with nothing To show for it. read more

My Jeep needed its engine rebuilt and we picked it up in less than two weeks! Dave and his team took great care and brought back my Jeep to its former glory again!

Went back and forth with other auto shops. Wasted time and money. I was referred to Arizona Engine Rebuilding from a co-worker. They recognized the problem and I was able to get my SUV back and have been happy with it ever since. I just wish I would have went to them first when I knew I had an engine problem. read more

I have a a GMC sierra that needed a whole new rebuild, and Arizona Engine Rebuilding gave me a real good quote, 10k below dealers. They were professional through the whole process and in 2 weeks my vehicle was running like new. I like the fact that they give you options through out the build so you know that if there was something faulty they caught it and fixed it .Only think I can complain about is tryna find a parking spot because the parking lot is always full. - CANCOON read more

Arizona Engine Rebuilding is a premier engine rebuilding company. When we called them, we received a very professional explanation of what to expect. Steve explained the process and then delivered what we needed. My wife wanted to tour the shop and Steve gave a firsthand look at a prime engine rebuilding shop. The technicians showed us our engine disassembled and pointed out the defects. Everyone in the shop were true professionals. There were additional items that needed to be replaced. Parts cost only, since when putting the engine back together they could replace the defective parts. They tested the vehicle thoroughly and when I picked it up it was ready to go. I did as instructed, I drove it for 500 miles checking the oil and water every day. Then returned it for an oil change and final checkout. Thank you to the team at Arizona Engine Rebuilders. 5 Stars out of a possible 5 stars. read more

They were perfect and on time and they work with you very well. If there is any inconvenience they make sure to get it done fast.

I can't begin to tell you the horror story. This place is shit, does shit work. My engine didn't even get 1000 miles on it and I'm having to tear it down and fix it, finding other little gems they screwed up rebuilding due to leaky rear main seal. Gaskets upside down, seals not put in straight, engine wasn't cleaned at all other than a power washer which we can do at home ourselves. I spent over 4K and got at best a $1200 curb job, again AT BEST. Dont skimp on the $$, take your engine to someone who will do good work for the good money you pay. read more

Arizona Engine Rebuilding - What is clearly stamped on the TOP of this gasket??? - Auto Repair Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Decided to wait a full year before writing a review about my engine being rebuilt. The engine is still running great with increased horsepower and better fuel mileage. The service I received when I took our Grand Cherokee was was excellent and the price that I was quoted was very good. Thank you AZ Engine Rebuilding read more

Wish I did my homework and read more reviews. Everything bad said in the reviews happened. Had an engine replace on my car. Was quoted one price then it nearly doubled once they got into it. Picked up my car mid July in 115+ degree heat with no A/C and they just tried to say it wasn't working when I brought it in which I knew it was, then charged me to fix it. Car didn't pass emissions after work was done which was suppose to be guaranteed and when I called to inquire was told about their $8k emisions tester but yet clearly they didn't use it. Finally just took it to a dealership to find out it also has an oil leak which I did notice as soon as I brought it home. Sign in their office waiting room says "we make it right" couldn't be further from the truth. I gave 2 stars because overall the work was not bad and they were responsive. It's was just that they had many opportunities to do the right thing and could've been so much better. They just didn't take them and kept deflecting back to me. read more

Beyond rude and unprofessional business. If you want to be screamed and yelled at this is your place to go. By the way, maybe learn some basic human decency and communication skills, Never yell at a customer especially in front of others. This is not how you treat people. read more

Just got my Trailblazer back in January 21. So far my car car is running awesome. Dave stayed in touch with me while I was waiting, which I appreciated a lot. I had driven my car for a couple of weeks or so after I knew I had an issue and there's no doubt in my mind that driving the car made things worse, which ended up costing me some extra parts and work. John's mechanics spotted some serious issues not related to the engine, such as some worn parts in the 4-wheel drive system and quite a few other items which drove the cost up, but which I know needed to be replaced, as I had had intermittent issues with the 4WD not engaging. I know my car really well and every up charge Dave recommended made sense and I'm glad they were so thorough and was really glad a couple weeks ago when I had 2 1/2 feet of snow on my driveway. This is the weirdest thing. My cruise control was getting less and less reliable, sort of working when it wanted to. I can't explain it but I'm giving these guys credit for most likely fixing some connection that was loose during the engine replacement, as the cruise has been working normally ever since I got the car back. Also, I spent $900 about 2 years ago fixing the air duct system, which was only blowing out the front vents. I had been getting concerned about some leaking through the front vents when it was set on floor and for whatever reason the vents are working normally again. The bathrooms and waiting rooms are clean and bright, the girl at the front desk is sweet as pie and I regret not remembering her name. All in all I am beyond satisfied, and I must say I'm not easily satisfied and not bashful about expressing my dissatisfaction. Rebuilding a motor is a bit like building a house in that changes come up, sometimes with unexpected costs. Bottom line here is don't take your engine issues anywhere else. John and Dave in my view are conscientious and you can trust them. I'll check back in to this site in six months or so and let you know how my engine is doing. read more

After selling me an engine that was NOT a 2001 SVT "Cobra" engine (no steel crankshaft), and refusing to replace it, I had it installed. The rear main oil seal leaked from day 1. I babied this car. I was with my 92 year old dad, going to my Aunt's funeral, when the engine failed. I have called them at least 5 times for warranty work. I have been told each time that the owner will contact me. I have lost not only the price of their engine and rebuild (since I refused to send my TRUE Cobra engine for a core) but the installation at a reputable shop, as well. Don't deal with these people, if you love your car like I do. My lawyer will get involved, soon. *Your reply is MOOT. You sold me an engine that is NOT a Ford SVT Cobra engine, after I ordered and PAID FOR a Ford SVT Cobra engine. Upon receipt, I called your company. Your reply was that I ordered a 4.6 liter Ford engine, "built to Cobra specs". The bottom line is, you're dishonest.....and you cost me a LOT OF MONEY. read more

I got wonderful service all the employees were great and very communicative. I recommend coming to this location you won't be disappointed!

It's been over 2 years and 40k miles. Engine still runs great!!! Starts right up. Believe we can say the rebuild was a success! Make sure you do your maintenance read more

I gave them 3 STARS but they could have easily gotten 5 STARS! They are Johnny on the spot to offer a free towing service to bring your vehicle to their shop but once they have it, you will just have to wait! Stella tells you it only takes 2 weeks and the price is $2700 + tax $3k.... NOT..... It's more like 3.5 weeks and $4800. If Stella would have been a straight shooter with me and said that it will probably take 3-4 weeks and cost between $4500 - $5000 to rebuild your engine then there would be no surprises and I would be giving them 5 STARS!! Honesty is the best policy in my book, especially if you want to stay in business... Just be HONEST!!! read more

My Dad took my 2001 Hyundai Santa Fe here, and to say the least, it was a big job! There was problem after problem because of how dang old this car is, and how terribly it was taken care of before we purchased it... but this shop dealt with the punches as they came, fixed everything, and went above and beyond. When the last big problem presented itself, and it was crunch time for my new job, they helped me get a rental car to help me out. They even fixed a problem that wasn't in their line of work. I am so grateful for them and all their hard work. John, Matt, and Cheri were wonderful to work with. Thank you! read more

I chose master engine rebuilding because they had the best price I could find, a couple 5-star reviews and the owner seemed knowledgeable and pleasant to deal with. Halfway during my experiences with master engine rebuilding I found that they had 2 listings on yelp and the other listing did not have rave reviews. Turns out one of the reviews is exactly like mine - promised a bill of goods and ended up finding out I was taking advantage of. The initial engine rebuilding didn't take long at all just a couple days. This was in November before Thanksgiving. I was surprised at how quickly it was done and excited to get my work truck back on the road. About 10 miles away from shop the check engine light came on and the truck started sputtering. I drove it to an AutoZone and had the code pulled up and it was potentially an external or internal engine problem. I took care of the external possibilities and the truck was still acting funny so I brought it back. They had my truck for a couple days and then told me everything was fine so I picked it up and on my way home it did the exact same thing. This time I asked the owner to have his tow truck company come pick it up because I didn't have the time and I was losing my patience. He had the truck for about a week again and told me that he fixed the problem. I was busy with work so I had to send my dad to go get the truck and he called me to let me know it's doing the exact same thing again. This time I took the truck to an actual mechanic and he put it on his Snap on diagnostic scanner that he had and showed me not only the code that was the same as before but how the cylinders were firing and the fact that there was something wrong inside the engine. So I brought it back to master entering building one more time. This time they had it for a week and a half and the owner said he drove it around for 500 miles and it was driving perfectly. As soon as I left their shop it started acting up again but this time the check engine light didn't turn on. I decided at this point that they are incapable of getting this job done correctly. I've lost several weeks of not having the truck for work as well as vehicle rental expenses. I checked with friends and ended up finding a mechanic in Tempe that not only has an excellent 5-star review but a couple referrals from friends so I took the truck there. Turns out the problem was internal and half of the block had to be taken apart. A lot of parts that were listed in master engine rebuilding's list of replaced parts were not done. The check engine light was broken so potentially that might've been damaged intentionally. It is a bulb that is inside the instrument cluster that no one ever touches so be your own judge on that. This little endeavor cost me over $2000 to have the engine fixed properly and $1000 in rental fees for having to rent a vehicle while mine was down. Not to mention all of my time that was wasted. read more

Great company with great people. Had to get a new engine for my daughter's car. Tried to work through every dealer in Phoenix and none of them knew what they were talking about. Ultimately determined the manufacturer (Hyundai) no longer makes a long block for a relatively new (2018) model. Got a recommendation from another satisfied customer and contacted Arizona Engine Rebuilding. Worked with Dave who was incredibly knowledgeable and a great person to work with (we toured his facility and he knew every engine they were working on in the shop and what was being done to each) He found us an excellent used motor at a very good price. Turned the car around faster than most of the dealers in town could return a call. Car runs great and they have been very helpful every step of the way. Opened my eyes to the affordability and options of replacing and enhancing engines on older but still good cars and trucks. Looking to use them to build a stroker engine for my 1992 Cherokee and possibly new engines for my service fleet which will be substantially less expensive and easier to get done than buying new trucks. Highly recommend these guys. read more

I also had my engine rebuilt a year ago, on a 2005 dodge magnum. I went back to the shop four times to try to get the motor done right. Mean while the car is getting worse, untill it stoped running.

First time I pick up my truck i make it four miles before it starts tapping and stalling out. Next time not even two blocks. This company lies and uses used parts! Paid 3133.08 and truck has never run since then. If I had a choice they wouldn't even have one star. read more

BEWARE of this company. My husband had his 2007 Miata towed into their shop late 2015. Master Engines claimed that for $2500 they could repair the engine & have it running like new. It is now late April 2016. Through out the months that went by - they would call us to tell us it was running perfect and to pick it up. On 3 separate occasions we went to pick it up. EACH time it broke down within 5 miles and had to be towed BACK TO THE SHOP. This month they said it was perfectly running. We didn't want to pick it up & asked them to DRIVE it to us. They had it towed to our house (that says everything right there) The car does not run at all. Not to mention they returned with the shift stick not properly screwed in. We are not dealing with this anymore & are going to small claims court. To anyone looking to use this company... PLEASE look elsewhere ! We wish we did !!!!! read more

This place is a joke...I own an auto repair shop and used these guys for the first time. Never again! I'm still redoing stuff that they did. Had them rebuild a 1997 Ford Explorer 4.0. They didnt time the camshaft properly on the passenger side cylinder head so I had to take it apart and redo it. Back in my shop for an upper oilpan leak that they also screwed up. When I called them on it, it was "bring them the engine" (Not happening) or tow the truck back at my expense. Seriously...F them and never again! read more

Master Engine is a great company new to the Phoenix area. I have a 2003 Dodge Ram with over 252,000 miles on it. The engine was tired and started to burn quite a bit of oil and would put out a puff of white smoke upon accelerating from a stop. I found Master Engine after contacting 8 other engine shops. Akram at Master Engine is a great guy and knew exactly what the issue was. He recommended rebuilding the engine and gave me a price to complete the job. The price was the best out of all the shops I had gotten quotes from. Akram then proceeded to tell me they have a 3 YEAR UNLIMITED mile warranty. I thought this was too good to be true but decided to have them rebuild my engine. I dropped my truck off on Saturday morning and picked it up the following Friday morning. The truck ran great until I hit about 200 miles and then it began to have oil pressure issues. I called Akram and he told me to bring it in. Akram had his mechanics inspect the engine and told me they would have to keep it to inspect it further. As it turns out, the new oil pump that had been installed was defective. Akram and Master Engine replaced the oil pump and the crankshaft with no issues. I have put about 1000 miles on my truck since getting it back and it runs great! Master Engine is a great company that stands by their work. I recommended Master Engine to a friend who took his 2005 GMC Yukon there to have the engine rebuilt without any issues. I highly recommend Master Engine, they have the best prices, the best warranty and they are honest and stand by their work! read more
