Engine Rebuilders

I HAD 2 CAMARO MOTORS 2ss REBUILT AND THEY DIDNT DO THE JOB CORRECTLY AT ALL MY CAMARO STILL RUN HOT AS OF RIGHT NOW I PAID THEM ON TWO MOTORS IN ALL 15,000 AND NEITHER MOTOR IS WORTH IT DAVID IS NOT A GOOD RIGHT HAND MAN BAD HORRIBLE COURTESY NOT POLITE AT ALL ANGEL THE MECHANIC AND BOSS ONLY PERSON THAT MIGHT HAVE SOME KNO HOW BUT THEY DONT STAND BEHIND THERE WORK AT ALL THEY WILL MESS YOUR CAR UP THIS IS NOT A GOOD PLACE TO GO GET A CAR FIXED HORRIBLE WORK DIFFERENT MECHANIC WORKING ON CAR AND QUITTING THEN UR CAR MESS UP OH NOT THERE FAULT DONT GO TO THIS ENGINE REBUILDERS ON IRVING,TX THEY NO GOOD RIP OFF

The engine blew on a trip back from out of state.  There were a few miscommunications, however, some of the parts that they were going to try to re-use were bad.  They got my car running and came in within a reasonable budget.  Would I use them again, yes.  Would I recommend them to someone I like - yes.  Would I send my grandchild to them - yes.

David is not the owner of the shop, he works on commission. The real owner is Angel Delgado and mostly works in the back. He knows engines from top to bottom. Owner/mechanic is talented but as in most cases the good quality comes with a bad service. David the front desk attendant will talk to you at length of how the engine will be repaired, but he has no control as to how the work is scheduled. Expect a good engine rebuild, but it will take them several days, weeks and even months from the promised date of completion. So if you go in with this mindset you'll be happy, otherwise, David will be very crafty in explaining the reasons why they didn't finish and why its not their fault, of course it never is. Their prices used to be fair, now they are trending to the upper scale. They used to charge per size of the engine, for example a 2.0 liter engine would be 2K for rebuild, but this does not include parts in most cases, so expect to pay about 50% more of what they quote. I'm not saying that they'll scam you, but David earns a percentage of what he bills and collects, so, if the week is bad in collecting, you may be the one footing a larger price. At the end of the day they do get the work done but you need to lose a lot of time seating in their waiting room, calling, coming back and forth, etc. That last part, is the worst and sadly it seems to be an industry trend. Would I use them again, maybe, for a car I have no urgency to use asap.

I began my search by looking through BBB to find an engine rebuild facility. I called several to get a phone quote as to what it would cost to rebuild the engine on a 2002 Nissan Altima 2.5L. David (owner) from Engine Rebuilders is very professional, knowledgeable, and follows the customer centric model. I felt I was back in time doing business the old fashion way when it was so much easier and all it took was a hand shack and your word to get er done. Now a days it seems you have to fill out contracts and pay half upfront. He did not ask for any money until after the job was completed. He sent  a tow truck  over to pick up my car and did the rest. Every time I called to request an update he was friendly and did not seem to rush me one bit. He made sure my questions were answered about the progress on my car. (. This was in March/2011)
I have referred several people to him because I want him to continue to do business and help others the way helped me.  He quoted me the best price out there for parts and labor including install and stuck to it after the job was finished. No hidden fees or smoke and mirrors upon completion.  He runs a great business.
