This is my third 1500hp capable build from these guys and I’ve always had great results. They know how to put together a solid motor, no question about it. I did run into a minor issue on a fresh build that I ended up chasing for about a year. That one’s on me too, I didn’t communicate with them like I should have during that time, and by the time I finally got it figured out, it had been a little over a year. I can’t even say for sure that I didn’t cause the issue myself. That said, Rob went above and beyond to make it right and made sure I had a good experience. Stuff like that is pretty much unheard of in the performance world, especially after that amount of time. Hard to find honest people that stand behind what they do like that. Really appreciate it, thanks again Rob.

Taking care of the top end of my RSX's K20Z1, I took it to PRI by recommendation of all of my biggest Car buddies. They decked the mating surface and cleaned the head, and I had them install new Valves, Guides, and Valve Seals. They gave me a great price. They called me early the exact day they estimated it to be ready. The entire staff, from the younger gentlemen to the owner, are extremely friendly courteous and Professional. I got the Head installed, and my 273k Engine is pulling strong like I just drove it off the lot. Couldn't be more pleased, really appreciate these guys and their shop existing!!!

So I'm on my first rebuild, a 350 SBC. And my dad was the genius behind the build, but now he has dementia so it was left to me to figure out. These guys were so helpful its unbelievable. I had them machine a keyway into the crank, I had it balanced, heads were fixed, had one broken valve, they also shot peened the heads, tanked them, and milled the surface. I paid about 1.5k which didn't seem to bad to me at all. But when I got home is when I decided to write a review. I started really inspecting the work they did, and I have to say it really is quality work. I plan on going to these guys for our next motor as well, they got me in and out pretty quick too, it took about a month for everything.

Rob & Andrew were awesome! Very informative and helpful! Had these guys bore my 455 and assemble the long block! Not many shops around that are honest, reliable and trust worthy. Old school Place that I would take any of my parts to.

I picked up my Ford 460 block, crank, rods, pistons that were in the shop for machine work. Excellent professional machine work. Outstanding customer service, great atmosphere, it’s worth all the money. Kyle on the front desk, has the best attitude, very customer oriented and very professional. The owner has a can-do attitude and he is there all the time if you need any help with your work or if you have any questions. If you are near Columbus Ohio and you need work TAKE IT TO THEM. Thank you.
