This guy is awesome built me a very nice of heads and worked with camshaft grinder to put together an very nice top end combo.

Great company if you want to buy a badass racing motor...I went for the ride with a friend because it was 3.5hrs away from home and they hooked the motor up to a machine (not sure what its called) so they could show him exactly what the motor sounded like and that it worked. They helped us load it and off we went. First time buying from them but I know my friends very pleased with his purchase and if he needs another motor down the road he will be calling them to get what he needs!!!!

Bought a Chevy Cruze from these guys about a year and a half ago. They listed it as being “loaded” due to the touch screen radio, sat. Nav, etc. which would be pretty cool if it wasn’t shorted. I brought this up before I bought it and they said they would fix it, which they did. Purchased it, brought it home, suddenly saw smoke coming from the engine. Apparently there was a coolant leak. I should have returned it right then. They took care of the leak, but it didn’t take long for the screen to fizzle out again. They fixed it again and this time I learned how they were doing it. They apparently thought upping the fuse from 7.5 to 10 to 20 was considered “fixing it”, but they were just burning wires. I told them the third time that they need to look at the wiring instead of changing fuzes. I told them a week in advance that I would bring it in to get it fixed again. They took it and after another week I called them asking what was going on with my car because I needed it. They said they have a new screen coming in (which obviously wasn’t the problem in the first place. I already told them the problem was in the wiring). It would be another week but I can pick my car up in the mean time. I did. When I turned my car on, the screen turned on, and everything worked... but I could smell burning. Like wires. I looked at the fuse and, lo and behold, they put a 30 in where a 7.5 belongs. That’s over 3x the power that should be going through that. This almost started a fire in my car. I instantly pulled the fuse and tried talking to someone about it, but even though the door was open, nobody was home. Seriously?!? I haven’t been back since.

They deserve a 1 star because they thought they could solve an electric problem by using more electricity, almost starting a fire. That alone is absolutely awful. They also thought they could replace one coolant part and call it good. There were actually 3 more leaks they didn’t find which I had to pay out of pocket for. The windshield was also covered in scratches and dents. The first place I took this car was to a car wash because I thought the dents I was seeing was dirt. Guess they shouldn’t park their cars so close to the dirt covered road.

I still haven’t gotten the screen fixed, but at least I can somewhat control the radio through the steering wheel. Goodbye to Bluetooth, GPS and everything else, though.

Dropped off a set of heads. They said they'd be ready in a week. Exactly a week later they were ready for pick up. Excellent company to do business with!

INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF KNOWLEDGE & EXPERTISE UNDER ONE BUSINESS'S ROOF EXHIBITED FROM ALL WHOM WORK HERE!!
TOP NOTCH FOR SURE!!
CUSTOMER SERVICE IS OUTSTANDING, VERY WILLING & WANTING TO ENSURE ONE IS VERY HAPPY WITH THE WORK DONE.
I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND ANYONE LOOKING FOR THIS TYPE OF WORK TO BE DONE TO CHECK THEM OUT!!

If you need an engine rebuilt, exhaust repair/fabrication, or state inspection this is the place to go. Fair pricing no bs. If you need a racing engine you probably already know about this place. Also sells a few used cars.

Can be dishonest and feel justified in taking advantage of some people while being legit with others. Putting on a good show to seem sincere but in reality robbing and conning some the whole time just because they are desperate, trusting or don't know much about cars. Later you may find out as I did that they knowingly purposely conned you the whole time and there is nothing you can do about it. I would pick someone else.
