Helbling Machine & Auto Parts 510 West 3rd Street, Moscow, ID 83843

"If you’re looking for routine engine machine work, these guys can do it, and do it well. If you need anything custom, i.e. outside the realm of boring, decking, resurfacing etc. this is not the shop. At Helbling’s you’ll hear “we’re just not set up to do that.” Whereas at other shops they’ll find a way to earn your business."

"They do good work but they like to do extra and then overprice the job. I’m 16 and don’t know that much about interacting with machine shops. I asked for them to bore two cylinders that were 2 in in diameter. The preceded to sand blast also, which I didn’t need, then charged me 150 for boring to small cylinders. Don’t go there unless you know exactly what you are willing to pay."

"These guys resurfaced an unobtanium flywheel for me that came to them rusty crusty and oily. It came back looking like it rolled right out of the factory. TOP notch work, clean, sparkly and decently priced! They've won my business! Would recommend for machining."

"I do all my own mechanics and I have these guys do any bit of machine work that needs to be done. They are reasonably priced and local. They have solid experience and if you go in and talk shop they will aide in whatever they can."

"This is a full service engine machine shop- they don't build engines, but do all of the heavy work from boring, surfacing, grinding, valves, flywheels, rods.. you name they do it- so you can build the engines. I have been bringing them heads, blocks, flywheels, rotors, manifolds etc for years and have never had a problem. Bob, Shon, Erin, Dean and Dylan know their parts and won't leave you hanging. They are a valuable resource not just for their parts and service, but can answer and explain *why* and *how* to do intricate work. These guys and gals are top-notch."
