Had my 5.3 engine rebuilt by Southwestern. I was given a 1 year warranty. Still works great after 3 months. I put it through a rigorous test and came out beautifully. It costs $6,000. but that is much cheaper than the crooked people who are mechanics at the dealer who wanted to charge $12,000. It had 165,000 miles and now works like a new engine. Thanks for saving me money Southwestern Engine Rebuilders. read more

This place is horrible all around!! They lie about absolutely everything!! They don't stand behind their own work if that tells you anything!! ZERO STARS because of all the money they'll cost you, take my word for it and then look at the zero's and one stars this place is a DUMP!! From the bit$h working up front, to the fuck-ups in the shop that consider themselves to be mechanic's... A bunch of CROOKS!!!! read more

I bought a used 2003 (20 years old) Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab pickup with an known bad 4.7 engine that has 155,000 miles on it, over heats instantly and has a knocking noise in the heads. These 4.7's have a known issue with valve seats becoming loose from the aluminum heads when/if they get the slightest bit overheated, so I know it's going to needs the top end redone. Timing chains are also a known issue on this engine, cooling systems are known issues, so repair only what's wrong with no warrantee or rebuild the engine and get a 1 year warrantee ? It's only $600 or $700 more to rebuild the engine and because this is an engine that gets rebuilt very commonly they just happen to have everything they need in stock and on the shelf, they are the actual machine shop and they do the machining in house. They installed better valve seats in an effort to alleviate the valve seats issues that these engines are infamous for to help solve that issue going forward, they replaced my Water Pump with a better Water Pump to help with the infamous Cooling System issues and improve water flow through the engine. I bought the truck on Wednesday, I had it towed in to them on Friday, they had my engine out and on the bench being torn down on Monday, and it's Thursday today and they have it back in the truck making adjustments before giving it back to me. Yes it's costing $6,000.00 but I have a 1 year warrantee "ON the Engine", not the transmission not the wiring catching fire. I see others writing negative reviews regarding their car catching fire or their transmission going out. These guys are Engine rebuilders not a Transmission shop. If your transmission is already weak and you put a newly rebuilt engine, well that stronger new engine is now going to put more stress on that already weak transmission. Common Sense ! I am reviewing this Engine Rebuilding shop based on their ability to rebuild my engine for a price, for the quality of the rebuild, for the speed in which I get my vehicle back. Value, Quality, Efficiency are the factors that I am rating them on. read more

I wouldn't let these people oil a bicycle chain rebuilt a jeep motor gave it back then had to take it back and they kept it 3 months and still had the same problem. they have no clue on how to fix or rebuild a motor. DO NOT TAKE A CAR HERE especially a jeep they have no clue and blame it on everything but what they did to your car. it isn't rocket science read more

The Rebuilt motor they put in didn't even make it 5 miles before the issues started, beginning with the vehicle nearly catching fire from the fuel line they broke, to the Air compressor that burned up because they had plugged the oil path in the head, to it throwing a rod by the time we could return it back to their shop! Stay away from this place or you'll regret it! read more

These guys rebuilt the motor on my jeep, two weeks later it caught on fire while driving down Riverside. They blew me off , probably because I was a single Mom. A few years later I had a new engine put in my Z71 Silverado by Midwestern Motors, they were amazing and any issues they fixed ASAP. read more

I have taken my vehicles to Southwestern Motors on more than one occasion and each time, they have taken care of me without cleaning out my bank account. If you're looking for a good mechanic who won't feed you a bunch of lies, this is the place to take your vehicles. read more

Trevan and his guys have worked on our fleet of trucks for years. We have only had 1 warranty issue and that was during hurricane Katrina and we had crews working in New Orleans LA. And a truck they rebuilt a motor in had mechanical issues they drove down to Louisiana got the truck fixed it brought it back and that truck is still running today with 315,000 Miles!!! ON THE REBUILD!!!! The body of the truck is worn away but it won't stop running lol. Anyway if that doesn't tell you the type of people your dealing with I don't know what else to say. I highly recommend southwest engine. Thanks for all your hard work keeping us out running. Sincerely Bryan Burggraf. Burggraf Disaster Restoration. read more
