Two engines built with this guy both of them blew up right away he used to do good work until his dad died now I think he must be on crack

Never returning customer. Back in the 90s they work on an engine and did a crappy job. Took them to court they lost the case. Months later our car was stolen. It had to be town away bc it wasn't working. read more

I bought parts for an overhaul of an obsolete farm machine engine. I found Engine Masters to be an old fashioned shop where they actually answer the phone and know something about what they sell. Even put up with an old guy who doesn't remember what he did last week. Bravo. read more

I really hate leaving bad Yelp on anyone, but the level of quality that I paid for was so unforgivably bad by this company it would be doing a disservice to other consumers not to tell my story. I brought in a 1968 Ford 302 motor to be rebuilt. No complicated motor here--easy to rebuild. Long story short, I drive the classic car very little so it took a few years to put the 8000 miles on it when the oil pump finally seized on the highway, damaging the engine. Got a mechanic to go through it and we found the following: Engine Masters did not use a new oil pickup but KEPT THE ORIGINAL, which had some chunks of plastic in it apparently from the degraded original plastic timing gear from 1968 that had started crumbling over the years. One of these chunks made it through the pickup and seized the pump, damaging the engine and requiring a partial rebuild. IOW, they did not even clean out the original pickup, which would have removed the debris and saved the engine; they just slapped the debris-filled pickup back on! As to the replacement metal timing gear, it was metal, not plastic, which is good, but the mechanic was puzzled, because it seemed to have high wear and looked to him like a used part!!! (Keep in mind the engine had less than 8k on it since the rebuild.) Moreover, because we had to replace a piston and rehone a cylinder, he noticed from the casting numbers that the rod we removed was from a 71 Ford! How ever that rod got in there, clearly they did not use NEW rods but employed used ones, as a 1971 rod had found its way into my 1968 vehicle, whether it was sitting around the shop or got in the block from an earlier rebuild. Mechanic also suspected they may have reused the original valve springs but did not know for sure. All in all, it cost me around over $1000 to repair their inept work. read more

Just an update... yesterday I thought the radiator was leaking. I took my truck in to Midas to get it checked out. The rear heater hose was leaking. Evidently, it was clamped incorrectly which damaged the hose. The mechanic found numerous hoses that were clamped incorrectly. His opinion was that whoever did the engine work re-used our old hoses and clamped them haphazardly. He looked shocked when we told him we did not do the work ourselves, but rather a professional mechanic did. Cost me another $200. Thanks again, Engine Masters! read more

Had to bring in my 2005 Toyota for a total rebuild, I'm totally pleased with the job they did they were less than they quoted and were totally professional and helpful in every way, real awesome guys read more

Took in my cylinder head for my classic Chevy 6 cylinder for a rebuild, ready in 2 days looking like a brand new cylinder head, the cost was much less than i expected and even replaced all the valve springs with brand new ones for less than cost than I could find them for. Even took the time to answer all my questions about engine breakin procedures with today's newer motor oils. A great place to do business with. read more

Engine Masters took my motor told me 3 1/2 weeks to build. Three months later after numerous calls to them they asked for $1,000 deposit. Two weeks later told me my motor was done. Went to pick it up bottom of motor unattached, part that oil pan attached to. missing bolts on side of block. Asked for gaskets. Tim told me no other gaskets come with kit. Three days later he calls me to tell me he has my gaskets. When I confronted about it he lied telling me he never told me there no gaskets, nothing but bs from them. Never again will I give them my business! !!! read more

This place takes their time getting things done. I took them a set of toyota 3.0 3vze heads they got them done in 2 weeks. Got the heads back and put my motor together was ready to put plugs in and drop the motor in my 4runner and 4 out of 6 plug holes had messed up threads. So I called them on it and asked them (as if I was a new customer) if the check everything out on head when they rebuild them. I asked about valve lash, cracks, burnt valves and plug hole threads. The man said yes they do check it all. So I proceeded to tell him about my problem and how they had just rebuilt the heads for me. Well he had to talk to someone about it. And suprise he didn't know so he had to talk to a different guy and suprise he didn't know what to say. So he told me the guy that normally take care of the front desk was not in and would be in in a hour or so and he would call me back. A week later I called back and the guy I needed to talk with was their. Told him the problem. He then asks me if I crossed the threads when putting the plugs in. I lol at him and told him I did not. So he told me to bring the heads in and he would look at them. I told him that the motors together and to brake it down it would be 300 in head and top end gaskets. So he then tells me to just bring the motor in and he will take a look at them.... really just look at them? I was wanting to here bring it down and he will fix them or bring it down I will make it rite. So I would NOT RECOMMEND this motor shop to anyone. Just spend a little extra and have a different shop do the work. If they mess you stuff up they are not going to make it rite. THANKS ENGINE MASTERS. read more

Was told it would take 10 days and it took 211 days and still not fixed. Was given every excuse under the sun .DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY AT THIS SHOP. You might want to check with the Bureau of Automotive Repair to check license status read more
