Ridge Engine Machine & Repair

"Simple jobs cost like I am building a space shuttle. The only reason for 2 stars and not 1 is that they have priced themselves out of the market so they are able to get the job done in 1 day. Last time I made this mistake I told myself to not go back to them, well I forgot, hopefully my memory is better this time and my wallet will feel much better."

"I paid them $3,500 to rebuild an engine only to find out the timing chain was put on out of sync. Had to pay a shop $700 to redo it."

"Had an IH tractor cylinder head freshened - milled, valve job etc. Got head back and valve spring retainers were mixed up some of the exhaust rotator retainers were on intake valves & vise versa. Had to swap them around myself at home. Overall tractor runs great no real complaints."

"So I brought my engine here asked for a clean, hone the cylinders and mil the head, polish the crank and tear down of the short block . So he asked for 500 for initial deposit for tear down. He out sourced the crankshaft work that work was very good. I look at the block there was rust in the cylinders, the head wasn’t touched, cylinders were honed but the engine in total wasn’t taken apart all the way still had a bracket I wanted off and he didn’t clean any of it gasket maker on both sides of the block and head gasket material on top of the block. I had someone pick it up for me because I was out of time worst mistake I would have never payed 1100 dollars for nothing. The only good work was from hart machine shop. Fees are added at the end of your bill so get a print out of the totals mid way through cause fees are added out of the blue or just don’t go here"

"Recently took my 302 here to have a bore done. Engine was supposed to be hot tanked and cleaned as well. Was told a week it took 3. Charged me an insane $152 to put the rods on the new pistons and didn't even do it right. Took the cam bearing out without asking me then charged me $82 to put it back in and had to do it twice. Took my freeze plug out without telling me and just gave it back that way. The engine came back looking the exact same way I dropped it off. Definitely was never cleaned. Huge disappointment! Would never recommend them!"
