Take Your Car Here! Best Engine Rebuild Shop in San Diego!!
After taking my car here, I am a customer for life at this shop. MJM Engines needs the kudos and credit they deserve. Like many other satisfied customers, my 2007 Jeep dropped a valve seat and destroyed the engine. Three years have passed since MJM Engines rebuilt the engine, and this review is well deserved as I can testify to their work ethic. First, the engine rebuild went smoothly, and ever since, the engine has been going great these last three years. Second, when there was a question about a new exhaust manifold, the team at MJM Engines went ahead and looked around the engine and determined that the new water pump that was installed was faulty, so they installed a new one at no charge. This is their warranty promise. They are one of those rare shops that stand behind their work and keep their promises. Look up the other reviews; they all say the same story. Professional, courteous, and thorough. That's why they have a remarkable warranty because they make sure to rebuild the engine right. Their knowledge is far superior than other "lazy" shops that just want to turn a repair around. The crew at MJM Engines passionately rebuild each and every motor as if it were their own. They pay attention to detail and ensure each and every customer is taken care of. I would not hesitate to recommend MJM Engines to anyone looking to revive or rebuild a car. At this time, used cars are so high in price that it may be worth just rebuilding the engine you have right now. For us, it was a much cheaper option but gives us the satisfaction that the car is rebuilt and entrusted to last another lifetime. Trust the crew at MJM Engines, San Diego's best kept engine rebuilding secret. Don't waste your time any further, MJM is worth the call.

I took my My old-school 88 Ford E150 SportsMobile conversion van that only had 50,000 miles on the 5.0 engine to MJM wanting better performqnce getting over mountain passes..big mistake- MJMs slick sales job of telling me they would rebuild my good running engine block and put better cam in it to help with acceleration over mountain road instead they replaced my engine me with an older cheap rebuilt 5.0 engine block and even older heads and an illegal cam that had less power was missing and 5 MPG!!! The whole engine switching scam was identified by the California bureau of auto repair. I ended up spending over $10k to replace their engine and other damaged trans and engine parts with another rebuilt engine.. I lost the ability actually have my own old engine that was was a slug over hills but ran beautifully- the BAR guy said tgey should have honestly advised me to just upgrade the gears in the rear end to accomplish what I was looking for but MGM of course screwed me. I took them to court and the best I could do is get back to $4000. I paid them. Good luck dealing with these crooks!!

Warning! The only reason they're getting a star is so that I can post this. I had this shop rebuild my 390. I installed the engine myself and couldn't never get it to run right. I just pulled the engine and found the piston rod are not in the corresponding cylinder. It shouldn't be that difficult as these engines are all marked by number. The timing marks on the crank and cam gears were off by 2 teeth. These gears have two dots on them that you line up, very easy. They did not replace any of the bearings on the crankshaft as I can see the date on them is December of 1990. I paid for a rebuild and received a cylinder honing. I wouldn't let these guys change my oil in my lawn mower.

I dropped off a crankshaft to get turned. I was told it would take about a week to turn around. That's pretty typical for this kind of service, so fine with me. I get a call 24 hours later that it is ready. Super impressed at not only the quick turnaround, but they were communicative to let me know as soon as it was ready.Staff I dealt with were friendly, communicative, and professional. I am very impressed as I have had mixed experiences with machine shops in the past. Would recommend and will return for future services.

Drew and his team are amazing! We bought our son an older Ford Ranger. We knew the truck would need some work but were not expecting to need a whole engine rebuild. We had taken the truck to a place closer to home that told us the heads were blown and we needed a new engine. That place told us it would be $8,000. I felt this was over priced and a bit shady. We had that shop stop the work immediately and had the truck towed home. My father in law found MJM online. I was still very reluctant to send the truck all the way to Escondido to people we had never met. I called Drew explained all of this. He was kind, answered all of my questions and was so patient with me. He never acted like I was a burden. We had the truck towed up to MJM with the engine in pieces. Drew knew I was panicking, called to let me know the truck had arrived and that he would call me after his assessment. Drew held true to each time he said he would call. He gave me all of my options, price breakdown.. etc. we had the engine rebuilt at a fraction of the cost that the shady shop had quoted us and the truck is running amazing! I never felt pressured or that I was being sold anything “extra”. In general I do not trust mechanics. After working with Drew, that has changed! I seriously don’t want to ever take one of our vehicles anywhere else! If you want amazing customer service with knowledgeable mechanics you should definitely call Drew and the MJM team!
