"They did a great job repairing my rim. They got it done quickly."

"Experienced, friendly staff. Good quality work."

"If you're not in a rush but looking for the best workmanship. This is your place for overhaul engine parts."

"They fixed a wheel barring another shop messed up and refused to fix, for even cheaper than the first shop charged. They provide QUALITY work and have amazing customer service all the way from the wonderful woman at the front desk to the guys doing the work in the shop. You guys got a customer for life! Highly recommend this shop"

"I really don't even know where to start. After seeing all the stars and reviews, I felt like Don's Machine Shop was the place to go. I wanted them to build me 2 motors, one was a 6.2 LS the other was a 5.3 LS. Both Gen 4 GM motors. I received the 6.2 back first. After installation and starting it for the first time, there was a racket that was so loud I thought it was leterally falling apart. After further inspection I discovered that they installed the heads backwards, the steam ports were now in the back of the motor instead of the front of the motor. They informed me they didnt want to swap the heads and instructed me block off the ports in the back and drill out the front. They said they would graciously provide the block off plates, free of charge. After a month of back-and-forth with them (they actively and continuously denied responsibility and fault) I took it to another shop where they found 5.3 head gaskets on my 6.2 motor. I contacted Don's with the results at which point Brad made me bring the 5.3 gaskets that the other shop removed from my 6.2 for proof. When I showed up to Don's, Dave the mechanic that installed the gaskets, was extremely unprofessional when confronted with his mistake. That's when they finally accepted fault and begrudgingly paid the other shop to fix it. At no point did they offer any apologies for his actions. At this point I could not trust them to correctly complete the work on my 5.3 and requested it back. They helped me load it, including an actual tub of nuts bolts with no organization whats so ever. Come to find out not all of it was there, the cam shaft was missing along with several gaskets and a set of head bolts, which they later provided me with new ones. The block and heads looked like they were freshly machined and rebuilt. Both heads ended up having cheap steel valves installed and incorrect shims underneath the valve springs. One exhaust valve had a gouge in the stem causing it to bind. I ended up having another shop tear down the 6.2 after finding Don's installed cheap valves in it as well. It wasn't worth my time or effort to contact them about the atrocious work they do. Make sure you tell them you want quality parts installed or provide them yourself. Better yet find a quality shop that is going to do the work for you all together. That way you won't have to go through the hassle I went through."
