  Been going to Richard’s for a few years now.I have nothing but good things to say about JR,Kevin and the others that work in the shop.Recently I pulled my big block out of my chevelle and handed it to JR and boy did he deliver.motor looks amazing and clean,very nice rebuild with some goodies done to it.no metal shavings from machine work.Pure workmanship from these guys.Only thing which didn’t bother me at all was if you drop something off to have work done just be patient and let them do there thing.yes it might take a couple weeks to get your item back or a couple months to get your fully rebuilt long/short block back but rest assure it will be better than the day it was built.Again thank you JR and staff for knocking a home run on this build and as long as your still in business and JR is kicking I will always use Richard’s for my mechine work A++++

  I used these guys over a year ago finally got everything back together as of today, I start pouring coolant in and there was a freeze plug missing on the side of the head tiny little guy on my ls heads but before all this I had gotten a short block and heads done that took 3 months and many phone calls and the threat of taking my work back and then I let them continue with the promise of asap and a week later I return for them to give me the wrong block and heads back then about a week later they hand deliver my block and heads to me at home due to my request of them making this process so painful for me to just have an other issue at the end of it all I’ll never return to this place

  It took them 20 days(they are open 6 days a week), 17 business days to rebuild a simple honda head and then when I went to pay they charged an extra $15 just to pay with card. It was quoted at 2 business days. If you're going to take 3 weeks, you owe the customer a discount. Went to put the head on the block to find they also lost one of the dowel pins as well along with the one that was returned to me was dented from them pulling it off with pliers/channel locks. The owner is justifying any negative reviews so thats a thing I'm sure ill see on this one.
