Jim did an amazing job for me with my car! Incredibly knowledgeable and gave me a tour of his garage and I learnt so much from him. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone. I can’t speak highly enough of him and his staff

Jim is super helpful and knowledgeable. He helped me decided on an engine for my project. Jim listened to my needs and did not try to over sell me on anything. Once all my parts was at his shop, it took him less then a day to get everything together for me. He communicated with me throughout the wait process. Super great guy and funny!

Brought my 67 Mustang here. Jim and Bill did excellent work rebuilding the engine and fixing other components. Jim kept me updated along the way with pictures and and text messages. Bill does great work and you can see they both care about getting your car running great again. Overall it’s a great shop with dedicated mechanics.

I can only tell you my story. I went to this shop with a video of my car hoping I can get a professional to tell me why my car might be smoking from the pipes. it was October and I wasn't sure if I should store it for the winter or what. I have owned numerous old cars and I have never been one to let them sit. He wouldn't give me hypothesis and advised I needed to bring my car in for a compression test. Unrelated, my car would not turn over so I had it towed thinking he could at least get it started and look at the smoking. Before I had it towed in the quote was $189 for the compression test after I towed her in the quote went to $760. I told him my top of the line was $500. What was in writing was compression test, tune up, look at parts in the trunk, and get her started. I told him to beware cause there was no fluid in the radiator. I ended up filling the radiator before it was towed in. Ok bottom line is this. He took $500 from me, told me my engine was blown after compression test I'm not sure was ever done, since I received no results in writing. Told me the radiator was dry, even tho I the day I brought it hom it was filled. Never looked at the parts in the trunk. I did that myself with a few online friends. My 16 year old got the car running a with a new alternator, which was in the trunk, and a battery change. Went to shop. Car did not work. Gave $500. Car came back the exact same way it left.

I've been delivering equipment here for the last few years and every time I come in I check out the projects they are working on. The craftsmanship, attention to detail, and knowledge of the platforms and vehicles they work on is top notch. It's no doubt that the work and business is driven by passion and old fashion hard work. A skill that has definitely been lost in this day in time.

Brought in my classic mustang for restoration, Jim took my inital depost and spent all of it on parts before even looking at the car, then once he finally inspected the car and was able to give me a legitimate price, it was above my budget and i wanted to cancel the job. But he had already spent all my money and then began to harrass me and threaten me because i wanted all our communications through email and no longer over the phone.Do not go here, he will constantly increase the price and ne er give you a straight answer.

The epitome of honesty and professionalism, extremely transparent when it comes to deadlines and pricing. Couldn’t find a better place to take my car to. These one star reviews are ridiculous and reflect the complete opposite of my experience. Would highly recommend this place if anyone needs to get some work done!
