So grateful to have a machine shop with experienced employees within driving distance. I gave them a basket case head from a marketplace atv with questionable history. They figured out what was done wrong by the previous owner and got my valve seats perfect. The quad runs great now, they kept me updated the whole time and were actually trying to save me money along the way. They are a rare breed, honest, knowledgeable and all around good people. Veteran owned, give them your business and you won't be disappointed.

We had a problem. My wife fell in love with a 1929 Crane farmhouse sink on eBay. We didn't realize until we hauled it out of a house in Connecticut that the the drain assembly had been broken off. After months of searching for a solution, the best option we had was to send the parts to California to be rebuilt for $$$$. That is when my wife found Ralph. He was able to repair the damage to the drain and now we have a working sink for a very reasonable amount of money. Ralph was really patient working with my wife in this multi-step process. The work was expertly and quickly done. We would both recommend him highly especially if you have a crazy problem.

My friend dropped off a head to get it milled, the owner didn't like BMW much because they crack easier than most. However, he did a fabulous job filling an erosion spot beside the coolant port, milled the head very well.
He expressed concern about my compression ratio being affected, but it didn't affect it hardly at any. Only went form 8:1 to 8.1-8.2:1
Very professional, cares about the customers.
I'll be recommending this shop to my friends, and anyone else who would need machine work for a good price.

Both my friend and I were highly impressed with his shop.

Thank you very much, The Restoration Shop.

I had a part on my wheelchair break that was not something that could be bought from the maker of the chair but I knew it could be made. I called so The Restoration Shop and spoke with Ralph and explained what I had going on. He had me text him pictures of what I was explaining so he could get a visual. Ralph made sure that it wasn't going to cost me more money going with him compared to buying the part or any other option. Honesty is a very valuable trait and you definitely have it at his shop. The part was done in the time he said, very excellent quality and a very reasonable cost. I hear people complain about cost and there is the old saying " Cheap Labor isn't good and good labor isn't ". I highly recommend Ralph and his guys and will definitely be using them from here on out

Took my Honda Pilot heads there to be worked on as they were in pretty rough shape. Ralph and his Team did an outstanding job with them. It turned out my Camshaft was jacked up as well. He essentially saved me 800 dollars by repairing mine instead of having to purchase a new one. Highly recommended!

Excellent shop and service. Extremely knowledgeable machinists who did the work quickly with precision and quality. Restored a 1945 John Deere block and head. Highly recommended.

They do amazing work, got a valve job done on my head and they left it looking brand new! Would highly recommend to come here

Brought The restoration shop a pretty unorthodox project on a Small engine. Him and his crew got my block completely cleaned up and over bored. They align bored it for ARP Studs and got my 4 cylinder block set up for a forged rebuild, Ralph and his guys really knew their stuff. Even remembered my project months later when I called to double check some specifications. Will return, Highly recommended!
