When I first called them they couldn’t get me in for two weeks, ok whatever. Two weeks later I call them, they don’t even remember me but just tell me bring in my vehicle they’ll get me in. They told me it would be a week and a half to rebuild the engine and they would call me when it was done. They originally quoted me $3995. A week after I dropped it off they called me and told me it would $7k to fix it. I told them that wouldn’t work so they backed it off to $5700. They told me again a week and a half and they would call ... read more

After blowing a used junk yard motor, I decided to spend the extra cash and get a rebuilt motor for my 2001 monte carlo. Found this website and it seemed like a good deal... Boy was I wrong! Right off the bat the motor was leaking oil and coolant. Found that ALL 4 freeze out plugs were leaking, lower intake gasket leaking, and now... Not even 5k miles later its POURING oil out of the main crank seal behind the flywheel. WTF! I did the lower intake myself with the better felpro kit and just put epoxy over the freeze out plugs... read more

Engine never ran right after starting. Cylinder 4 did not seal properly. Block was not decked after hone job. Coolant leaks into piston and fouls plug. Found used lifters in the motor. Head bolts were over tightened; one of them had to be cut for removal. Heads were supposed to be machined with bigger valves, but originals were re-in... read more

They did replace parts, but took no responsiblity for the discrepencies on the sales sheet until I hired an attorney. Even after settling with them, I discovered that they had use... read more
