I did a 383 for my K15 and APM provided excellent service and tips to complete the job and avoiding costly mistakes also really helped with the fast turn around time. Thank you

Talked to Felix after a recommendation from a friend and he is exactly the guy who is going to get any machine shop stuff I have. Very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful.

Felix helped me out when so many other places wanted to take shortcuts and do only bits and pieces of my job for a lot more money. Felix was professional and performed some excellent work on my car, rebuilding the engine and taking care of things meticulously. I'm very happy with the service he provided and would HIGHLY recommend you try out Felix's shop if you need motor work.

Felix is the man!!! Needed a cylinder head resurfaced since my local shop decided to be closed the past 2 days(Monday and Tuesday) with no sign with hours or when they would return. Gave them a call as I was already on my way. He let me know they were very busy, but could get it done same day. I told him I was coming from 30 miles south, and he agreed to knock it out in an hour. Plus he was cheaper. Great service. He took the time to explain everything and wasn't bother by me coming in. Great guy. Definitely coming back.

APM is the place to go. Felix and his crew rebuilt my numbers matching 350 in a 70 Chevelle a couple years back. Felix walked me through the entire process and kept me up to date along the way. He even invited me to visit so I could see the engine rebuild in progress. A couple years later and the engine is still running like new. Come here if you want great speedy service at a competitive price with no BS.

buyers beware... scam artist. dont do good work and wont honor your warranty on the engine he build because he really doesnt know how to build a propper engine... in August of 2016 i purchse a 1 year old engine that they have build, felix the owner/scam artist has said that the engine was just rebuild a year ago. so i decided to purchase it and also buy a new transmission. so i thought, a bout a month after the engine blew out and so did the trasmission. come to find out that the engine has a bolt in it and he charge me for a new transmission; even though, he just reuse my old transmission and also charge me 400 for a power stearing pump. so he wrote on my reciete thast i have a limited lifetime warraty. But when i went back there to ask him to fix the engine he just build he told me hat i should learn how ti fix my car or just drive a toyota. WOW. taking my money wasnt enought he had to say reacist cmment. so i told him that that was the whole point i hired your a** to fix my car cause im not a mechanic and what does your bad engine buildng has to do with me driving a toyota. after that he tried to intimidate me by calling his other frinds who own a shop. but as i told his friend about my situation he even offered tp fix my car for felix but he didnt wanna admit he was trying to scam me. so dot go to this place. service and altogether sucks...

We used APM Custom Engines initially to replace heads on a 5.3L Vortec, out of our 2000 GMC Yukon XL (cracked heads as a result of a known and documented defect by GMC supplier Castec. When GMC refused culpability, it fell on us to repair.) We provided new OEM heads; APM Custom Engines provided the diagnostics, machining, and labor. When we realized the resulting coolant leaking into the engine over time from the formerly cracked head resulted in serious damage to the lower half of the engine, we returned to APM Custom Engines for a complete engine overhaul. This time, in addition to diagnostics, machining, and labor, they also provided the parts -- not OEM but from a supposedly reliable aftermarket supplier. So far, so good. Felix, the owner and Steve, the chief machinist are both solid, stand-up craftsman, straight shooters who know their trade and do good work. Prices are fair (for pricey Bay Area.) However, if paying by credit card, be prepared to pay extra -- APM Custom Engines now passes the credit card transaction and processing fees onto its customers. Turnaround was quick for both jobs, even more impressive because these guys always seem to be busy. Felix possesses a wealth of engine knowledge -- amazing actually -- and a dry sense of humor. He presents detailed technical information in a slightly politically-incorrect, albeit entertaining way (refreshing for the super-sensitive, PC Bay Area.)

Had a good experience. Brought in my 71 Ford FE motor. Felix found a lot of problems with it from the last guy that was in it. So he was honest with what I had brought him. He listened to what I wanted done to it. And did it. Made recommendations and helped me out on the crank and heads. It was rebuilt fairly quick. He went the extra mile to complete it. He quote was a little off, but that was expected with an older motor that someone else messed with. Over all less than a "crate motor." It fired right up and haven't had any issues with his quality of work. Between Felix, Steve and his employees, very satisfied with APM. They know their stuff and puts his reputation on it.
