For a full story recap, see his facebook page under recommendations. Google limits how much I can write. Let me just say, this person rebuilt our truck and left a bolt out of the crank shaft pulley, left plastic in the engine and overall is just completely incompetent and uncaring.

very poor workmanship, no warranty, no answer if you have problems and runs away from responsibility. You have been warned.

I don’t typically take the time to write reviews, especially negative ones. You get bad service sometimes. Everyone has a bad day. But I would feel remiss if I did not attempt to warn people about this person and his complete lack of care, concern and his extreme incompetence.

I don't typically take the time to write reviews, especially negative ones. You get bad service sometimes. Everyone has a bad day. But I would feel remiss if I did not attempt to warn people about this person and his complete lack of care, concern and his extreme incompetence. I should start with the history, this is a bit lengthy, but if you are thinking of hiring this person or have hired this person, please beware! We purchased a used Ford F350 Super Duty with a 6.0 Power stroke Diesel. Within a few months of owning the vehicle, which had only about 135,000 miles on it at the time, the engine overheated and blew the motor (EGR failed, overheated and melted the oil filter into the engine block). We did some research and we knew Howard Samuel from working on our farm trucks and he agreed to have David do the rebuild work. We wanted the rebuild of this motor to be "bulletproofed," which would mean replacing several stock items with aftermarket parts. We also wanted a high performance CAM and some other high performance parts, which we provided and had the shop, and David, do all the labor. One of the first things that happened is when the block came back from the machine shop it still had pieces of plastic in the block. We happened to stop by one day to see how the progress was coming and noticed it. David and Howard both commented that they would "take care of that before we put it back together." The pictures are from the mechanic that is now fixing all the mistakes and failures. There was still quite a lot of plastic in the rebuilt engine and that caused, among other things, the brand new injectors to fail (David also chose to not replace the injector cups, his comment was "The replacement of injector cups is only when catastrophic cup failure has occurred - per Ford and international documentation." I suppose he figures complete engine failure and plastic melted into the block is not catastrophic failure, so he did not replace the cups, or O-rings on the new injectors. The day we picked up the truck, David said to me, "If you can find someone that wants to buy this truck, and will give you anything close to what you have in it, take it and run." This is while I'm paying him for a complete engine rebuild that cost me about $20,000 total in parts and labor. The second trip, mind you we have driven this truck now less than 2,000 miles since complete engine overhaul, we heard a loud BANG and parts started flying out from under the truck. We had it towed to a shop just south of Austin. A piece of the engine cover had broken off, several pulleys were torn out and all three belts were gone. The cause, there were only TWO bolts in the crank shaft pulley. You can clearly see on the images that there were only two bolts in the pulley. The bolts in the two holes were still in the pulley and had to be extracted. You can see the damage where they sheared off. The third bolt hole had rust in the threads, no damage to the bolt hole and no bolt. David's comment when shown the images was "incorrect assembly from my rebuild would not have allowed you anywhere near 3000 miles." So I am supposed to believe that two bolts won't hold long enough to keep the engine running at all. Sorry, this is just nonsense. It is obvious there was not a third bolt in that pulley. It would have held long enough to run and once it had some pressure (like say driving to Dallas and back and doing deliveries, carrying a huge freezer box on the truck bed) it snapped and broke off. The damaged parts from the pulley breaking free hit the transmission case while we were in heavy traffic. This caused the transmission to fail shortly after we fixed the engine cover, replaced the pulleys and belts and got the engine running again. So we finally get the transmission repaired, and now the engine will once again not start. We had it towed yet again to a different mechanic (repeatedly we tried to contact David and his response was he was too busy working on
