Malouf Metal Fabrication and Hot Rods - Chico, California

Kris Nitsche

Took care of my vehicle came out looking and sounding better than before. I have a 1970 Vw bus. iv been struggling with fine tuning the damn thing. Tim has been clear on and worked with me. The guy is a mad scientist!! spends long hrs to perfect whatever it is he is working on. when it comes to anything with a motor the guy is great!!! If he doesn’t have a part he can make it, doesn’t settle settle for less than perfect.
Keeping in mind great work isn’t cheep he will work with you but won’t work for free
I was extremely satisfied with my end result
Iv been able to make some great memories and will be taking it to him for a Subaru swap

I could not recommend this shop more. Tim has worked on my Subaru WRX and my 1997 ford diesel van several times. Additionally he has advised me on other projects and has done some cutting/welding for me. Tim is at that increasingly rare intersection of great work ethic, skill, politeness, and customer service. Tim is savant level when it comes to machining/fabrication, heavy equipment repair and welding. When it comes to engine/mechanical issues- he will rapidly diagnose your issue and get right to work on it. I’ve personally had vehicles repaired by him that have stumped several other shops. Whenever I drop off my vehicle there is always some different rare, classic car that someone has entrusted Tim to do everything from engine work to auto body repair/fabrication. His rate is reasonable and his work is excellent. He always goes the extra mile. I trust this shop and so should you. Would and have recommended to family and friends.

Tim is not only the best mechanic I’ve ever met but he is also honest. I promise you will not be disappointed if you bring your car to him. He is a hot rod and classic car specialist!!

I work for the post office and met the owner Tim awhile back, was always a friendly face when I came to deliver. I needed some electrical work done on my Honda, and he was my first call.He let me bring my car in almost instantly (even though he was busy with other jobs), got it all done by the next day. Also very reasonably priced. If anyone is looking for a solid local shop to do almost anything, highly recommend giving this shop a call.

Brought my chevy truck to tim to get some work done.He gave me a very good price and time frame to have it done, he actually had it done before the time frame he originally said. i really appreciate that he went over the work with me and it was really clean and professional. I HIGHLYRE COMMEND HIM. Now all my friends and family get there cars serviced by him. Thank you for being honest and taking care of us.
