Made an appointment for a tune up for my 1951 Chevy Deluxe and I wasn't disappointed! Neil wasn't in but his right hand man took care of me (I'm sorry I forgot his name) and don't let his age fool you, he's a pro and really knows cars and did a great honest job. Said he's been working for Neil for over 3 years and you could tell. I dropped the car off at 8am and he was done by 1pm and he was working solo that day. I'm talking about replacing the rotor, tuning the carb, spark plugs and wires, setting the idle etc. The works. He replaced what needed to be and told me what we could keep and told me what my next move should be based on what he saw. With parts and labor it was less than $230 such a deal for the great quality for work he did!!! The car ran like a champ all the way back to Chino Hills! Highly recommended for any classic car, they know what they are doing!!! I will be back!!! read more

See all

Found out this place has closed for good. I went by today for a oil change & shop was closed. BEWARE! I found it weird that when I called the number and they answered they told me to stop by, that they had relocated to the shop in front. When I got to shop, Engine Dynamics was closed so I went by the shop in front like they told me by phone. This place is a metal polishing business. The owner there told me he had taken over and could work on my car. I saw no automotive tools and seemed really odd. I felt like this guy was really trying to bullshit me. I wasn't feeling it so I left. He called me by phone letting me know he really wanted my business and to take my car to his shop anytime. BEWARE!! read more

The guys at Engine Dynamics (especially John) are the absolute best any where in the Southern California / OC area... HANDS DOWN !! I just recently brought my 1953 Plymouth Hot Rod to them. Everything was explained to me in full detail and WOW what a different car when I picked it up. John is a " Motor Scientist" when it comes to Hot Rod motors !! I would HIGHLY recommend this shop NO Matter where you live in our So Cal area. There is No reason to even think about taking your Hot Rod anywhere else !! Capt Joe read more

I was calling around trying to find someone to rebuild a Holley carburetor not knowing exactly what model it was or anything. Comes to find out not very many people or shops rebuild them anymore. I was referred over here to John and told he was the man when it came down to that kind of work. I got his info and gave him a call. Seemed very knowledgeable right off the bat. I asked if he could rebuild my holley carb, he asked what model it was and I was unsure so he told me where to find a reference number. As soon as I read that to him he knew exactly what it was and told me what it would cost me and that it was a day turn around on it. So right away I took it in to him. John and the other man were very professional and helpful with all my questions i had about getting the vehicle back on the road after sitting for 3+ years. read more

Third time here!!!! After getting my headers connected by Butch next door at Mufflerville John went ahead and went over the work that he had done last year. Thanks again John!!! read more

I've been using these guy's since the mid 70's , every vehicle I have taken to them has come back running better then ever before . I had a 67 Camaro with a 427ci. that they would make run awesome, I also had a 78 Power Wagon and a 65 Corvair , all different types of vehicles and they worked their magic on all of them . You can't go wrong with this place , one of the few that know what they are doing . AL H. read more

John and his crew really took car of my car today. Had it in and out within the day, and diagnosed it perfectly. Thanks a ton to John and the team. read more

i have a '67 camaro that has been my project car for the last 13 years. John and Neil at engine dynamics have helped me several times when things got too tough for me to do at home. Incredibly knowledgeable, trustworthy and fast. They have my highest recommendation. read more

John at Engine Dynamics just might be the best mechanic in Southern California. He's known for his work on hot rods, but he can service any American car. He's taken care of every car I've ever owned from a Bronco II, Suburban, Mountaineer, and Explorer. I heard he now works on an foreign cars from time to time. This shop is well established and well respected. Expensive, but worth every penny. read more

I was very happy to be referred over to this great little shop. Neil was able to diagnose my problem in 45 minutes! I had a broken distributor gear which lead to my oil pump seizing over. Will be coming back to Engine Dynamics once my new motor is in my Bronco I will have them fine tune it. Thank you for the quick diagnostic. read more

Bring your engine problems here. These guys have kept my truck going well over 200,000 miles!!!!!! They are worth it. And just to make sure they have time I usually call ahead. Engine Dynamics = NUMBER ONE!!!!! read more

Great little shop, John is starting engine work on our 66 Chevelle. My husband is really excited. We've heard great things and several people referred us here. Can't wait for the outcome. John seems to know several people, he's given us a couple names to work with for other work that needs to be done. Paint, body etc. read more

Okay, there are several places I can begin with my vehicle. First, I brought the car in for fuel consumption/slash rough idle problem. Very simple, I suggested they do fuel pressure test, check for drop in air pressure through hoses by maybe cracked lines, and even asked about the "PCV" valve being a problem. Wow, I have never been so disappointed in my life. I will specifically write to say that nothing was touched on the car regarding plugging into the ACLC from the computer in their shop because "they couldn't find it" I just took it to a mechanic who found the link within 10 minutes. It was right behind the firewall on the driver's side like I had suspected from the shop manual. In addition, I was told the only thing wrong with my car was engine mount problems. Ridiculous. This may have the cause of the bucking with the car, but with all honesty, was completely low priority because I'm getting 15mpg on a combined 24mpg car. Lastly, I was treated very rudely by Neil there. He complained that getting under the car was bad for his back and that trying to find the ACLC link on my car WAS MY PROBLEM and that basically shame on me for not having it available to him to connect to the computer. Poor service from one of the guys, no real problem solving, and honestly skirting around the issue for which it was brought in for in the first place. I took it down the street to pay 250 dollars to have it fixed and they found the problem in 45 minutes. Broken vacuum hose. Guy I took it to said it was completely ridiculous that they couldn't find the problem. I'm taking it to Sunland from now on. They are professional, courteous and won't pay if they can't find something wrong with the car. I will say though that John and Neil are amazing at getting an engine up and running from scratch though. Terrible otherwise. That's probably why it's called ENGINE dynamics read more

I've used Engine Dynamics many times over the last decade and wouldn't go anywhere else! John and Neil are awsome!!

i have a 1970 chevy malibu with a new zz4 350 create motor with a 750 holley carb. i took it to engine dynamics and neil and john fine tuned it. now it runs great with no flat spot when i accelerate or accelerate on a turn. very honest and cool dudes. reasonable prices too. they make you feel like youve known them for years. thanks guys! read more

this place is great!! they re-built my carb and did a great tune-up. my jeep runs great now. they are very honest and dont try and sell you something that you don't need. they also have very good prices. read more

so i brought my car here to get fixed because i heard good things about the place; they got it running within a day and so i picked it up. the next day the car stared with the same problem, i called them up and they were totally cool about it, they said to bring it back in and they'll take a look at it. they did some more fixes, said it was gonna be a few more bucks, i was happy to pay them and took it home.couple days later same thing happens, i called back and again, they were cool about it so i took it back, they worked on it some more and i took it home. fast forward about two weeks or so and about my fourth time coming back they tell me that they don't know whats wrong with my car and cant do anything about it. they gave me my keys back said it was some electrical problem and refused to work on it further. so now out 300 plus dollars and a car that is in worse condition than when it first went in. i cant even drive it down the block anymore, at least before i was able to get to work. i don't understand because these guys look like they know what they are doing and everyone else seems to be happy with the service but that's obviously not the case here. maybe it was just the guy who helped me, but in any case its safe to say that i'm not coming back and to those who own a jeep, look elsewhere because this is not the place for you!!! read more
