Terrible experience with getting overcharged, plus extremely slow communication requiring multiple follow up messages for simple questions. Read for more details below: How I got overcharged : I was going through receipts after my bottom end was rebuilt, and noticed that I was charged 690 USD for a 6 cylinder hone job with a torque plate. That's 115 USD per cylinder, for a simple hone. On his website, the price is specified as 30 dollars per cylinder. So that's an 85 dollar discrepancy PER CYLINDER. Initially I thought it was a simple calculation error. But then I remembered that Silvano told me that he had never worked on my engine before so I deduced he most likely did not have a torque plate for my engine. On a hunch, i calculated the price difference between my hone job (690 USD) and the price listed on his website (30 x 6 = 180) which came out to be 690 - 180 = 510. I looked up the price of a torque plate for my engine online and sure enough, it was extremely close to 510 (around 500 USD). I'm even more sure about this, because he had to do a second hone job due to different pistons being used down the line, and this time (most likely because he already bought the torque plate) the price for the hone was just 180 and not 690. I enquired about the price difference, and to give him a chance to own up, I did not say anything about my research and simply asked him about why I was charged so much for a simple hone job. I was given some bullshit answer about how my hone was very complicated because it took two days and he had to let the block cool down between passes. I didn't want to pick a fight and honestly, at that point I was fed up with the whole process and how unresponsive he was at times with regards to communication. If you're getting work done by him, look out for this and go through all your estimates with a fine toothed comb. My mistake was to trust him and pay the invoice without reviewing it completely - don't make the same mistake. Quality of work was ok. read more

First rate service and quick turn around! I called needing a resurfacing job on my 1980 Honda CB650 cylinder head and they answered right away and answered my questions. The owner txted me the address and I sent him pictures of what needed to be done and said he'd be able to finish it and be ready for pick up the NEXT DAY! wow. Came to pick it up and he gave me the update of how much he had to take off and other things he noticed. It's a father and son business. They are honest, great people and their work is top notch! I met the dad and we chatted for a little bit. I appreciate the humbleness and great skill of this dynamic duo! Would highly recommend! If I ever need any more work done you have definitely won a repeat customer! Great Job guys & thank you! read more

Worst experience ever. My car was driven 6 times and lifted the head. The main issue here was he never mentioned we needed to replace head studs that they were good. Then end up usingismatch nuts for the head. I would have paid extra if he would have told me. Did not want to make it right. Called me a liar that I agreed to reuse bad head studs for a full rebuild. That did not make any sense after sending almost 4k for labor and parts all together. I provided the new parts and more new parts as he would tell me but he missed about the head studs saying it was good to be reused and then used mismatch studs on top of that. read more

I have been going to silvano's for the past 5 years and the work speaks for itself. I wouldn't take my work anywhere else. Amazing service and very professional! Highly recommend! read more

The best in the business. Saved me money and they do quality work

Engine failed shortly after a full rebuilt very bad workmanship and Silvano's machine shop does not want to take any responsibility which is a shame. read more
