I read reviews of the Aims machine shop before taking my Bultaco motorcycle cylinder there to be…read morere-bored, but figured there was no way they could stay in business almost 50 years and treat customers the way the negative reviews suggested they do. Lucky guess for me. I called Aims to find out if they could do the job, the cost, and when it would be done. I wasn't exactly thrilled by a 4 week turn-around, but it did demonstrate that the company has a thriving business, so somebody likes them, even if they don't rush out to do a positive review. So I brought Aims my cylinder and in a little less than the 4 weeks they estimated, I got a call that the work was completed. I came by the next day, paid for the work and took my parts back home. Job done, price as stated, happy customer. A 5 star rating is the right thing to do. As an aside, the guys at the front desk are uniformly courteous, capable and helpful. It was a pleasure dealing with them.

I called around to several shops and finally found AIMS who was willing to perform the repair work. I picked up the calipers from the brake shop and took the to AIMS. Kyle helped me out. The calipers were turned around in a few hours with clean threads and a few helicoils.

Visiting the Sutro Tunnel is like stepping into the pages of Nevada's mining history. Originally…read moreenvisioned by the bold and inventive Adolph Sutro in the 1860s, the Sutro Tunnel Company wasn't just a business--it was a revolution in engineering. Designed to drain water from the notoriously flooded Comstock Lode mines, this 3.88-mile tunnel became one of the greatest mining infrastructure feats of the 19th century. The tunnel was said to be able to drain 4mm gallons of water a day in its prime! What makes the Sutro Tunnel so compelling isn't just its size or ambition, but the purpose behind it. At a time when mining disasters were common, this tunnel was a visionary solution to save lives, improve ventilation, and streamline ore transport. Adolph's drive led not only to the tunnel's creation but also to the birth of a vibrant town around it, complete with homes, a post office, a church, and even its own newspaper. Although the commercial impact of the tunnel was eventually limited--due to shifting mining priorities and falling silver yields--its legacy as a pioneering piece of mining infrastructure remains unshaken. It's a symbol of ingenuity, persistence, and community spirit. Fast forward to today: the site is being lovingly restored thanks to the efforts of the Friends of Sutro Tunnel and local volunteers. These modern-day stewards are breathing life back into the historic structures, including the machine shop, mule barn, and portal entrance. The first hundred feet of the tunnel have already been cleared, with plans to extend much further. I attended a fundraiser event put on by the Friends of Sutro Tunnel in which they had poker tournament in the tunnel itself! What you'll find when you visit isn't a tourist trap--it's a time capsule. The preserved buildings echo with history, and the guided experiences provide insight not just into mining, but into the people and dreams that shaped Nevada. With ongoing fundraising events and community gatherings, the site continues to give back--raising thousands for causes like childhood cancer and drawing people together over a shared love of history.

However a guy named Paul wrestled with me on a quote saying he had a giant machine "LIKE A HEART MONITOR" which he wanted to charge me for! WHY? So he could reap more profit out of me? Got two quotes elsewhere to replace both O2 sensors and I never want to think about my lousy experience with Paul refusing to do the work I requested. Don't you just love fighting with mechanics and getting gouged? I don't!

Multiple shops in town were backlogged for months or were experts in other makes and models, but two of them recommended Herbert Performance for their expertise with Subarus and the quality of their work. After speaking with Eric, we brought the heads and block in for inspection. Two days later, Eric called back with detailed recommendations and a reasonable quote. In less than three weeks, all of the problems caused by the original shop's negligence and shoddy work were resolved. The motor was returned clean and fully assembled, ready to install, with detailed maintenance instructions for break-in and ongoing care. We are just over two weeks in, and the motor is running like it did when I bought the car new! I am overjoyed to have my car back on the road! Thank you!
