Raul was called as one of the businesses to discuss rebuilding a 283 CI V8 in a 69 C Chevy. In picking up the vehicle, after Raul told me it was ready. I only made it out of town 20 miles and it quit running, so I pulled over, stopped, and towed it home. This started an expensive fix in which Raul stated my warranty was in place but he wouldn't cover the problem that came up. The problem was that the number two exhaust rocker stud pulled out enough to have the rocker move aside. In summary I found that the number 6 spark plug was not tightened in place. Also the intake bolts which were to discussed to move to all number M8, I found that the intakes had 11 M8, and one M10. I found that one of the holes between number 3 and 5 was drilled in error, and a M10 put in place, because the ship and sailed for a M8 and now an M10 to fix the error. Raul converted to me that all I intake bolts were M8 size and never made mention of this mistake that would cause all the holes to go to M10. What Raul refused to do was fix the head because of the rocker stud pulling out so I in turn with a disability severe pain and the difficulty to even get up in the morning was now my responsibility to try and do this myself because I have limited funds and saved for years to get this done. I had to service each boss, and drill and pin all of them to avoid future breakdowns. I was able to pound the number two exhaust rocker stud back into the boss, and drill and pin that as well. When I picked up the truck, I found it odd to have one intake bolt an Allen bolt,and all the other intake bolts, standard socket head. After taking the intake off, the aforementioned, I found that I had M8 on all intake bolt holes, but one of them for the number four cylinder that was loose, and another was an M10, aforementioned between 3 and 5 cylinders. The M10 shows evidence of being drilled and then stuffed with an oversized bolt to hide their mistake. This wasn't obvious until after the intake was taken off. I discussed and mentioned that I was changing all the intakes from 3/8 to M8 originally, aforementioned, and Raul stated clear understanding. I explained for his understanding that intake bolts being 3/8" to a M8, after mentioned, is only a couple of thousands and you complete service without drilling, and using a M8 tap directly into the 3/8 holes that were being fixed. This was clearly mentioned to Raul. I'm sure he was aware of this and did he decided not to fix this, hide it, and aforementioned, he told me, sincerely and without a doubt, All intake bolts were updated to M8 and found to be a lie. It's still usable but you can't drill out those holes and more and and this limits the surface life of this block. And not giving a warranty to this head problem such as a pulled rocker stud, based on my discussions with other, professionals, business people, and friends, who believed strongly that he should have warrantied this. Travel time, wear and tear, gas, and time. I mentioned to him that I had severe back trouble and for him to treat me like this is just wrong. I relied on friends and family to help with this and it's taken forever to get this done because I can't just have everybody come help me every moment that I need them to get anything accomplished on this. A good amount of time has passed, and that time cannot be recovered. I'm out time, the cost of drill bits that are hardened,and pins. A gasket set, and bolts which have to be zinc hardened, and must be M10 1.5 by 30 to 33 mm which are about a hundred bucks. I wondered why, when I picked it up, he dropped the bill from 5900 to like 5200 and handed me back $700. I know he must have felt guilty, he could not tell me what the problems were, and he's been unprofessional to not warranty this and take care of the problem himself. So if Raul does good jobs for a lot of people he fell short with me and this is why I'm leaving this note because I want people to be aware that this happened and that he's allowed me to have pain suffering monetary loss and time that cannot be recovered, but instead he didn't care. I read the reviews before I came to him and saw some that were questionable but most were happy to have Raul do the work. I am trying to be nice, clear, and impactful for you to understand that directions that you give Raul may not always be followed, and any of those directions that he may hand out to his employees, well you know the risk, and if they screw up your block or miss a drill or tap, I would hope for a better outcome, but this report is to show how he did not help with a better outcome. You deserve this Raul and I hope you the best in the future because what I found shows deceit poor execution of instructions lying and failure to be professional in making a customer happy. read more

I cannot recommend Raul and the team at Remarkable Engines enough. I originally brought my 2012 Dodge Ram 5.7 in for a camshaft and lifter replacement. When I first went to pick it up, there were some serious issues--the truck was vibrating and the check engine light was on. ​This is where most shops would make excuses, but not Raul. He took full responsibility and went completely above and beyond to make it right. Instead of just patching the problem, he replaced my entire engine with a brand-new rebuilt motor at no extra cost to me. I walked out the door for the original $4,000 quote with a fresh engine and a truck that runs perfectly. ​It is rare to find a shop with this much integrity. Raul stands behind his work 100%. If you want someone honest who truly cares about his customers and the quality of his builds, take your vehicle to Remarkable Engines. Thank you guys, Rob G read more

Raul and his crew worked on my 2016 Jeep Wrangler, they got me a new rebuilt engine with a 3 year unlimited mile warranty and 360 days on any leaks. The jeep was running perfect before I had to go on a "vacation" and while I was away my partner got the vehicle towed. During that time she said it ran great and no noises. These guys are great and are willing to work with you. Best engine place in the Valley hands down. read more

I knew I was having a head gasket problem with my Dodge ram 1500 Hemi. I called Raul on a Monday, dropped the truck off on Tuesday. Told him I would be out of town for a week. When I got back into town the following Tuesday I asked if he had a chance to take a peek at it. Raul responded he had already had it torn down and halfway back together. I picked the truck up on Wednesday. It's been running like a champ! Thank you Raul! You are the man! read more

My son who worked hard and saved for his first car only to have the engine fail. It went to Raul who took over 2 months to rebuild the engine. After picking it up from Raul at Remarkable Engines and only apx. 500 miles later the engine went up in flames burning the entire car and it was a total loss. Contacted Raul and gave him the Fire Department Incident Report that said the cause was an engine fire. Contacted Raul and he said "sorry can't help you". This is horrible for my young son to deal with after working so hard to buy his first car on his own. Just be aware that this shop does not stand behind its' work and won't help you if there is an issue. He offered zero help and refused to refund a single penny. Now my son is out an entire car valued at $28,000.00 Here are two photos of the engine Raul had just rebuilt. read more

I got my engine rebuilt here and the owner has helped me out on a couple other occasions. Highly recommend.

Philadelphia Sandwich Company was referred to Remarkable Engines to have our 10 cylinder FORD 350 rebuilt.. Raul handled the towing of the truck and was fantastic to deal with. He evaluated the situation and pulled the engine that had overheated. within 2 weeks Remarkable Engines and crew broke down the engine and replaced all the gaskets , rings, belts, hoses.. when he was finished Ford would be proud...The engine compartment was as clean as a new vehicle along with a video of his work.. If your vehicle overheats and the oil gets mixed with coolant..Cal Raul...He will explain what needs to be done to get things back on the road... Philadelphia Sandwich Company On 7318 E Stetson dr in Scottsdale and 720 Ray rd in Gilbert is so happy to have our box truck back in action...Thanks again to Raul and his crew....Mobile catering is available again... read more

I used Remarkable Engines for a major engine overhaul. The price was fair and the job was excellent. I came away very happy with the work they did and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. I will use them again. He is a man of his word. read more

Camelback Toyota did a rebuild on my 2000 Tacoma engine and one thing after kept going wrong , and conveniently after 1 year and 3 months ( I had a one year warranty ) oil was leaking everywhere and I was almost ready to sell my truck which I have completely gone thru. Luckily remarkable engines fixed everything Camelback Toyota did not. Now I have my truck running like new ! Thank You !!! read more

My 2007 Buick Rendezvous had 250,000 miles on it, and the engine was starting to really slow down and the engine had several oil leaks. I really like this SUV so I wanted to try to save it. I couldn't be happier with the job that Raul and his team did! It drives like NEW, really - like NEW. They have a great 2 year warranty also. I have already recommended Remarkable Engines to several of my friends and co-workers. They do Excellent work at a fair price. I recommend them to everyone. It's so nice to find mechanics that do what they say they are going to do, and stand behind their work...especially when you are a woman who doesn't know a lot about cars and can easily be ripped off. Remarkable Engines is the place to go for an engine rebuild. read more

I have a truck with very special meaning to me so when the engine went out at the end of January, 2018, it broke my heart. Knowing nothing about vehicle engines, the truck just sat for 11 months. Then I decided to research rebuilt or new engines. I did a Google search and came up with two places. The first one I called was Remarkable Engines and I never even called the other place. Raul is amazing. I wasn't even sure if the truck could be repaired but Raul answered all of my questions and I decided to go with a new engine rather than take a chance on finding issues with my 1995 engine. Raul always answered my calls, and there were many with questions as I would think of things. Once I made the decision to go with the new engine, the truck was ready in less than a week. I felt the prices were very fair and there were no surprises or hidden charges and I am very happy to have my beloved truck back. This place has earned it's name as the whole experience was "Remarkable". I hope to never need another engine, but if I do this will be where I take my vehicle. I highly recommend Remarkable Engines!! read more

I took my C240 Mercedes to have power steering hoses replaced. These guys were AWESOME. They were honest, the price was perfect and I had my car back in no time. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE GUYS FOR ANY ENGINEER REPAIRS!!! Candice R. read more

Raul is one of the best people I have ever done business with. I have a 2003 Chev S-10. They put an engine in a couple of years ago. I had an issue with it and without a question he took care of the problem. This has never happened to me before. I would recommend them to anyone needing an engine. Also the prices are great. Great job Remarkable Engine and Raul. Richard Bannon read more

I own a 2004 Infiniti FX45 which I bought new. It's been the best car I've ever owned. I got 279,000 great miles out of it and I'm very particular about the car. At 279k, it seemed like it was time for a new, used engine or a rebuild, but that V8 engine is fairly rare and I couldn't even find many places in the country to do it. I found Remarkable Engines online and in town, but was apprehensive about their ability to take on a specialty engine. After speaking with the owner, Raul, I learned that they had previously done five. I felt confident, but a little apprehensive about going forward with them for the rebuild. Their pricing was clear and very competitive. They were very open about the process, schedule, new parts sourcing, machining, etc. I delivered the car, paid a deposit and looked forward to their work. In the shop was everything from old pickups to race engines to late model German cars. I asked if I could come back and see the engine when they opened it up. In just a few days, I was invited to return and see the engine torn down. Explainations of what they found were clear and honest, and Raul gave me all the time I wanted. In a couple weeks, they called again to let me know it was done as they had estimated. They found other miscellaneous problems during the process which I appreciated being able to fix while they were into the car. Yet, when I went to pay the invoice, there was no additional charge except for the few parts. Bottom line is that their price for the work was very fair, they delivered on time, they did more than they had to do, and there were no surprises nor hidden costs. I've even been back since for its first oil change and check up. All is good and it's running great. So glad to have it back. They are proud of their work and it shows. Good folks (Rual, office staff, technicians) doing good work at fair prices. I hope they continue to do well and I would definitely use them again. read more

Raul is great! He is always fair with his prices and explains everything to you before you leave. My motor went out on my 2011 GMC Terrain. He had one in stock and was able to change it out for me that week. Great customer service. read more
