I wanted my '99 Miata Cylinder Head rebuilt and I wanted to go to the best in the business!…read more I called them up and they immediately told me that they were busy and to not call them back. What is the point of a business if not to schedule a meeting at some point!? I would have gladly rescheduled for a later date, but they didn't want that. They just wanted me to hang up. So I hung up and went to a different Engine Rebuilding Machinist who resolved my issue. Yelp reminded me to leave a review here so here is my review: Don't call Martin Davidson's unless you know them personally. They will likely answer your call and tell you to kick rocks. Here's an idea for management, hire a bigger team so that you can handle the current clients AND new callers as well. More customers = more cash for the family bruv!

The block was acid dipped, decked, bored and honed. He also had my crankshaft ground, and balanced the whole rotating assembly.

He had no problems finding parts for this 50 year old import engine, and everything has been fitting together perfectly as I've slowly rebuilt it.

Have used them in the past and although it came out higher than expected, they were transparent,…read morehonest and cordial. Fast forward to this instance where I have a batch of rotors that I needed to be turned down 1mm each side. Call him, describe what I'm needing and ask if he has a rough estimate on price. He asks me to text pictures, I jot down his number and then send him pictures shortly after. Gave him an hr or so and called him back to see if he received the pictures. Doesnt reallt acknowledge it and is pushy to have me bring them in and that he can do it. I'm about 25ish mins away, but he insists that he'll be late at the shop and that it's no problem. I bring in 1 rotor to see if he can still give me an estimate and he suggests he can help me bring in the rest of the rotors, about 10 in total. As we're bringing them in, I ask him again how much he's thinking it's going to be and he mentions $50 each. At this point, it's beyond the threshold in which the supplier was going to reimburse me for so I ask if I can just machine 2 rotors for now and figure out what can be done with the supplier. The next week rolls around and days go where I dont hear anything. I text him and no response for a day or 2. I call later the following week and he gives me a response like the rotors have been done and that he's been waiting on me. I ask him texting is the best method of communication since he originally asked me to text and he said text is good. I ask him if he's been receiving my texts in which he responds with affirmation. I go to pick up the rotors and come to find out that he only did a single rotor in which I ask when the other side would be done and he says in about 1-2 business days. I say that's fine and then mention that I'll leave that single rotor behind and grab the rest. He then mentions that if I in doing just 2 rotors, that the price would be $100 each. At this point, I'm no longer feeling like this is about money and get the impression that he's just a shady crook now trying to take advantage of people. I'm a little shocked at the pricing at this point and ended up just taking all the rotors back and paid him his $100 to machine a single rotor. Ended up having another shop do the for $20 each
