This shop is old school alright, old school crap! STAY AWAY! go to heads up or Johns Machine shop.
They took my heads may 29 2025 by august 19th 2025 I grew impatient. I had never heard once form them. I had called and been in the shop at least half a dozen times, and Ive always been told in a week or two.
At one time I was told Brandon was on jury duty.
So finally august 19th I went in and picked up my headders (he was suppose to use them for port matchuing) I then said, "have you even started yet" and Brandon told me yes, that they would be done the next day.
So 2 days later I went to pick up my heads and they were hacekd up and then welded. Even the Owner Scotty Jay said WTF when I first talked to him. Some of the welds were huge and ugly bubbles. Everything including the springs and passages were painted. I assume this was for a testing application. But painting the springs? that is trash work!
I don't know how long those will hold. I happen to work for a mobile welder, We use welding inspection tools let that sink in. His welds are TERRIBLE!
I digress, Brandon painted every surface of the heads, including the springs and the oil passages and I don't want that crap flaking off into my brand new engine I just rebuilt. I have all sorts of machinist tools and repair many mechanical things. However, I am not setup for head work.
SO, Yea I had a thousand dollars cash in my hand. Im so glad I asked him why he welded cuz he started stuttering and saying some crap about the springs were too big, I wanted to yell but I listened. He said everything is find. Don't worry. I stuffed a piece of chocolate in my mouth from their counter so I did not say anything stupid and left mumbling "Im trying to be nice" I did scream im not stupid and FUCK you from my car as I did a burn out leaving the shop spit the chocolate out of my window towards their shop.
IF THE SPRINGS WERE WRONG CALL THE CUSTOMER! I repeat! you never called me ONCE.
Some back ground? I ls swap cars, I repair semis and diesel trucks. I have never found an automotive repair I can't do. I know what Im doing. They may be able to bully most people around with fast whizbang talk but not me. Can't bullshit a bullshitter as the saying goes and I know my shit. Surely not as well as them, they aint dumb, BUT THEY WILL HUSTLE YOU! STAY AWAY read more
