I would give zero stars but I'll settle for a honest review about this place. Young Johnny arias is about as dumb and worthless as they get. They had my engine for about a year with one thing after another going wrong such as them misplacing parts and doing half-assed rushed work that costed me an entire rebuild. When I had a new machine shop tear down and inspect after a failed break in attempt it was found that my valve clearances were way out of spec and would have never ran even if break in procedures were performed correctly. Of course typical they tried to blame me although all the evidence was there of a rushed assembly. Also when they cut the valves for clearance they must have used an angle grinder instead of a lathe because all the valve were cut at an angle. After trying to blame me Johnny forked over money for a used head. I chose not to take it to small claims because I unfortunately moved to Oakland after receiving my engine and didn't want to deal with it being this far away. He claims I was in way over my head about my build but yet kept taking my money instead of turning me away like some shops did. To some credit he did pay for my shimless bucket they lost and pay

Terrible service don't waste your money here they say they give you warranty then when you go back they don't want to honor it or take responsibility for their mistakes. They didn't torque the bolts right on the head of my motor it burnt the gasket caused me to be stranded and they left the oil pump loose started leaking oil as soon as it got installed. Also paid extra for a bigger cam which they did not do would never rebuild a motor here again. You can clearly see in this picture where the gasket burnt due to loose bolts and they didn't even put new bolts when the motor got rebuilt pretty disappointing lazy work.

Took trick flow heads to get rocker arms bolt threads fix.. arias went beyond in fixing them by installing time certs with studs.. they are fast and get the work done quickly and correctly

I needed a hole in my sway bar made bigger for my Jeep, but due to how thick the swaybar is and it being steel it couldn't be drilled out easily. They had me out of there in less than 5 minutes. It had taken me about an hour just to get ¼ of the hole bigger. Thanks fellas.
