I had a rear hub that I wanted my gears removed off of & was struggling to do it myself because of…read morelimited tools & not wanting to damage it. I search for my nearest machine shop thinking they're professionals they should be able to get the job done. I showed & told them I needed the gears removed if they were capable of doing it to which they responded yes, then quoted me $130. I show up to pick my part up to see it completely damaged & unusable. Never got asked if it was okay to scratch the part up or anything of the sort so I had no choice but to take the part back like that after being charged. They showed no remorse for ruining the part & said they'll only charge me half what they quoted me. I WAS CHARGED FOR MY PART BEING RUINED. Highly suggest looking elsewhere for small projects like mine if you have valuable parts you want worked on professionally.

Several years ago, Thomas made a small piece I needed for the electric seats in my 1992 Porsche…read more968. Every place I went to until I met Thomas told me they couldn't make the part. It looked like my only option to get my electric seats working was to replace the seat rails from the Porsche factory at a cost of $1,200 per seat. Thomas told me he could make the part and he did. It was an exact replica of the piece that broke. His price for the part was $90 per piece. Photos of what he made for me are attached. The part is 1-1/8" x 12/16" x 3/8". I got two sets (two pieces per seat) from him so I would have a back-up in case the part broke again.

All new valves in the head, spring etc. I assembled but the work done was absolutely perfection! Work was turned around super quick and priced right. Engine machines shops that are trustworthy are extremely hard to find these days. These guys have won my business for life! 100% recommend.

Before bringing them in, the truck was puffing a little blue smoke out the tailpipe. Edgar and his crew rebuilt the heads with all new valves and springs, and the difference is noticeable. The quality of the work was excellent, and the turnaround time was incredible--only 48 hours. It's hard to find people who take this much pride in their craftsmanship these days. Highly recommend Edgar and his team. A++ service!

I tried unsuccessfully to tell him what the problem was and what I had done to the engine already. He brushed me off rudely. I called the shop 3 days later and scheduled the pick up. Again, extremely broken English, charged me $79, no receipt, and would not tell me what he did except yelled "I clean carburetor ". Took the mower home and the engine issue had nor gone away. Still ran really rough and died several times. I took a video for proof. Drove back to his shop showed him the video and asked him what he had for my mower. I used Google translate and he would not communicate with me. Very frustrating. I asked him to fix it again and he would not. I got my money back and tried again to ask him what work he had done to my mower. I left wirh a broken mower, my $79 back, and 3 days waisted waiting for my mower to be repaired.

Below is my experience if you'd like to read up on what I went through. And believe me, I am a patient and non-demanding person. The only thing I did wrong here was choose to use them. They are supposed to be one of the best places to have Harley head machining and porting work done, right? Maybe so- great reputation in that regard. But, I'll never know. I brought my heads there about a month ago and asked if they could do three simple things: 1. check valve to valve clearance 2. unshroud the valves 3. enlarge the chamber to hit my target CC once I figured that out I also said I'd pay cash and they have my permission to do whatever is needed, no rush. Ideal customer right? They said sure no problem- I said it would be a week or so until I had the numbers spec'd out so they could do the headwork, again no problem. I left the heads there with them. [Week 1] So I call a week later and talk to John Okeefe, I told him I have the correct numbers and info to have the heads done, explained what I needed (items #1,2,3 above) - he told me he'd also need the camshaft specs. I said I'd email him the info and told him to "do his thing" per his best judgment given the camshaft specs, type of bike, and intended riding. He told me "ok". I sent the info via email right after the call, and then called the next day to check if what I sent was ok. I was told yes all good. [Week 2] I waited a week, and then called to check in . Spoke with John and he told me he was going to do the work on the weekend and they would be ready by the following tues / wed. I passed this info on to my mechanic so he could plan things out time-wise with my bike at the shop. [Week 3] So I called this morning (Wednesday, the 'ready' date), and checked status with John. John told me "oh I forgot- I'm glad you called so I can now remember to do them". wtf. ok, hey it happens right? So I ask him how long he says "maybe I can do it today - but really busy". So I said I'd check with him next week. He says "ok". So I take it that all other jobs are more important than mine, even though I've been waiting. I called my mechanic and told him what's up- no ETA on heads. He said he'd call over there to Branch and see what he can do. I then get a text message from him a bit later telling me to go and pick up the heads / no go. I'm like wtf but I go down there (50 mile drive). I get to Branch and John's not there but some guy "Charlie" is. I said I was there to pick up my heads. He fished around for them (they were stuffed on the back of a desk in a box under a bunch of other "apparently more important" customer boxes.) He slaps my heads down on the desk counter and that's it. No comments, no 'hey thanks but sorry about that', nothing. I picked them up ready to leave and I said simply, "how about an apology for wasting my time". Man the dude turned a shade of red and got all ape-crazy attitude on me- Then has the nerve to tell me "I never told them what I needed done to the heads, so that is why they are not done". From what I can gather, John LIED about it and said he had no idea what was supposed to be done to my heads. And he knew full well what to do, and even gave me a delivery day (today). So this guy Charlie is thinking there is no work to be done because his own guy lied about it, my heads probably would have sat there until the cows come home, and I'm getting attitude from them for complaining. The work order attached to the heads was void of any work info as discussed and confirmed with John twice, and written in an email. In fact, the email I sent with the work instructions was conveniently missing- The only email attached was one that had cam specs and some other tech info John told me would be needed. In short, absolutely worst experience I have ever had with a specialized service provider. I mean the guy John totally blows it and then lies about it to cover his a$$, the service guy is an ego-centric peacock, and they have ZERO regard for anyone's time or hassle. If you deal with them, walk into it with a big expectation that you may have some problems. I have since found out today that this is not new behavior for this place so I'm probably just one of many "little guys" who have come in seeking top quality work and ended up grabbing ankle.
