I asked them to make a large ring that I was going to propose with. They asked me to get some wood,…read morethey couldn't cut it down so I did. They also said they couldn't cut or supply the aluminum. No problem, had it laser cut to size. Their job was to weld the pre-sized aluminum, slide in wood, glue, and pin it with some rod. They could then turn the flat aluminum on their lathe and round it over to match the wood ring I had already flattened for them. Then, they were supposed to weld together a cage made out of some square rod to hold this glass diamond. Lastly, they were going to polish it all up so it was ready for my proposal. They gave me almost unworked metal, with unevenly rounded edges, cracked welds, welds that literally shattered, and a flimsy cage made out of the wrong material that would bend and drop the piece of glass unless it was held carefully and vertical. Did they apologize, give me a discount, refund me? Nope, full price, over $600 for a couple cracked welds, and an ugly disaster. If I wasn't on a time crunch I would have just walked out but I couldn't get more wood/metal in time so I just had to do it myself.

I haven't needed any machine work in close to 40 years, so I had to search to find a machine shop…read more My buddy found this place and called for a price, which seemed pretty fair. We tried calling a few others. but none of them answered. THE GOOD: This is an old school machine shop that works on more than cylinder heads. Two brothers own the shop and one of the owners son, Johnny, is awesome, very communicative and a really nice guy! The prices they charge "seem" to be very reasonable (I have nothing to base this on). THE BAD: This is an old school machine shop that works on more than cylinder heads. 1. They are VERY old school, to the point that their system for tracking "what parts belong to who" consists of your name & number scribbled on the back of a business card that is stuck into an opening in whatever part you dropped off, nothing else. 2. Out of the 6 guys that work there, only one, Johnny, speaks English. 3. The phone rarely gets answered. 4. It looks more like a scrap yard than a machine shop: (literally) tons of cylinder heads, engine blocks, crankshafts and camshafts, etc everywhere! THE REALLY BAD (in my case): They called me about 11 am to say my heads were ready to be picked up. As I was busy, I didn't get there until around 4 pm. I walked in, speak to Johnny and let him know I was here to pick up my small block Ford heads. He looks... and looks... talks to another guy there... and looks, then makes a phone call. He then tells me, "a guy was here about 10 minutes ago looking for some small block Ford heads and they gave him your heads and he will be back in about 10 minutes". WTF?!? It was more like 20 mins, but FORTUNATELY this guy pulls up with my heads in the back of his truck. Johnny did apologize a few times about the confusion. I comment on how disorganized they are and he apologizes again. I pay my $240 (no courtesy discount), I thank Johnny and leave. THE VERDICT: Obviously their error was corrected after the guy who had my parts returned them. I'm hoping my experience is a very rare occurrence and no one else has to go through this. Otherwise my cylinder heads were machined as I asked.

I requested that Toby advise me on building a high performance street and track engine for my 1966…read moreShelby Mustang. I specifically wanted all the rotating components balanced together for a smooth engine in the effort to build a reliable performance engine. I got that and far better than I expected. They built a 363 stroker with a Dart 4-1/8* bore block, all forged parts and top of the line valve and head components. They dyno tested and tuned the engine on the stand and in the car. Results were 540 HP/484 ft lbs. of torque. Impressive! I have tracked the car at Big Willow multiple times and put more than 10,000 miles on the car since the build. It has been trouble free and still is performing at the top level. The service, quality and advice from Toby and his organization has been excellent and gets a five star rating from me. Past dealings with CHP in Torrance, (previous ownership), was not good, BUT, the new ownership worked well with me with honor and integrity. I believed them and they did better than what they said.

Their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to customer satisfaction truly set them apart from the competition. My relationship began with Wilson (owner) when I dropped off a Toyota Cressida 3.0L6 DOHC 16V Engine for a complete engine rebuild. He completed the engine in short order. So I picked it up and reinstalled it into my customer's car. After making routine adjustments and road testing, the engine ran perfectly. However, I did detect a very faint metallic sound emitting from the engine. Thinking it might be a lifter that might possibly quieten down after the engine was broken in. I shared my thoughts with my customer and suggested that they drive the car 500 mile, then return it to me. At that point, I would change the oil and reassess the health of the engine. 529 miles later, my customer returned the car to me, and the noise was still there. In fact, it had gotten worse. I alerted Wilson and he instructed me to bring the car back to him so he could check it out. I left the car at his shop, but he could not readily detect the source of the noise. So, he ultimately removed the engine from the car, totally dismantled it, inspecting and measuring all the internal components. Still, he found nothing out of specs. Obviously puzzled, and determined, he decided to start all over again, from scratch. The Toyota 3.0L DOHC 16V Engine is obsolete and hard to find. But after an extensive search for another "Rebuildable" Engine Block and Head, Wilson eventually found the cores that he needed to complete the project. He finally finished second the engine rebuild and reinstalled it a few weeks ago. When I went to pick the car up, he handed me an invoice with "UNDER WARRANTY" written across the page. He did not charge one additional dime for the nightmare in which he endured with this vehicle. Wilson is a class act! Not only is he honest, but he also has integrity - old school integrity! S. Sanders Positive Image Automotive P.S. My customer just reached the 300-mile mark and is happy as a Lark! Thanks Wilson! You are a true gentleman.
