Review №1

I needed an engine ran on a dyno to break in a cam and fine tune it. I called these guys and was told that the builder would get back with me. A week later Im still waiting on a call. Im sure theyre busy like most builders but how hard is it to return a call. If you do need an engine ran Id recommend wildcat racing engines in moultrie GA. Great people and even better customer service.

Great shop great pricing and very knowledgeable, the Service manager Don was able to help me tremendously with my truck surging while pulling a load. I have my 2000 f-350 in there they did a upgrade to my turbo installing a wicked wheel and upgraded turbo housing eliminated all surging while towing as they said it would! Currently in there having new brake system put in with upgraded brake calipers. The master Tech Wolf does a great job working on the truck making sure he takes care of the truck as if it was his own, I have a custom paint job on it so I was worried about the paint he took great precautions to make sure he did not scratch anything . Highly recommend this establishment

These folks rebuilt 2 Yanmar-4LHA-STP motors for me and every aspect of the process was handled professionally and with quality service. Pricing is reasonable and transparent with many of the stock charges are listed on their website. They handled my unique situation (travel, parts, storage issues) making the project run smoothly. I would highly recommend this operation.

I want people to know that in the Northern Panhandle of Florida that for your automotive machining needs RPM Performance and Machining is most definitely the place to go for great work and reasonable prices .Ive been Professionally Dragracing for 35 years and I would only trust RPM to do my machining of my race motors and noone else . That have the ability to do whatever you need to do plus dyno the motor before it even leaves the shop .So for your own price of mind go to someone you can trust and thats RPM Performance and Machining

People didnt seem like they knew how to use their dyno equipment and the had me do the work, one of thier personnel looked like they had bad hygene, and i didnt get my accurate dyno results. My transmission spat out fluid from doing a pull improperly being my first time doing the apart from a trained employee doing it for me a couple months back. I just payed my $80 and left. Would not return.

These guys were super friendly, professional and quick. I was told the turn around would be 4-6 week for machine work and ended up only taking a week. Will definitely take everything there from here on.

RPM Performance did a great job on my cylinder head. They were very professional and went above and beyond to get my head back to me. They will definitely have my business again for any of my machining needs.

Kyle and the guys at RPM are top notch, extremely knowledgeable and trustworthy as they come. They have done all of my machine work and will continue to get my business in the future. The prices are definitely reasonable and reflect the great work they do and attention to detail that they give.

I had them do the machine work on my 5.3L and assembled my cylinder heads. It was a fast turn around time and Kyle helped me pick out a cam for my car. Highly recommend.

RPM was very professional and communicated with me throughout my entire rebuild. I found the prices to be more than fair compared to other shops and have already recommended them. Thanks for getting me back on the water!

I had them build me a Chevy 434 Stroker for my 68 Camaro. They helped me pick out the perfect cam and it made the horsepower they promised. They kept me informed with pictures during the build and I even came to the shop to watch it be dynoed. Great customer service!

I had them do a valve job and resurface my cylinder head for Mazda 2.6L. They had it done sooner then they initially told me and did a great job.

Review №18

I recently had a mild magnum 5.9 shortblock rebuilt here. First off, I think this machine shop has the capability to build a precision high performance engine. Mine wasnt the case.I had this shop rebuild my block with forged heavy pistons, stock rods, stock crank with arp hardware. Easy build. I asked them to balance it prior to installation due to the heavier pistons. They called me up later that week to tell me it was ready for pickup. I asked them if they balanced it and they acted like I never asked them to or had any inclination that they should. A decent builder should assume the necessity to balance without the customers note. With that being said, they proceeded to tear it back apart, and balance the crank. I since picked it up happy to finally have my shortblock completed.I recently tore my build down to find a sloppy timing chain, (on the backside of drive direction was close to 1 of play), a crank that was clearly not micro polished when I definitely paid for it, stock main bolts in one main cap, and the rest are arp studs, excessive residue from sludge in the oil galley, hydraulic lifters installed 180 degrees from the correct position. Now. The main bolts I can understand why they substituted for stock due to clearance issues, but why wasnt I notified? Arp has bolt provisions to remedy this. The new cloyes double roller timing chain was loose, I had to order a new JP racing .010 shorter set. Why didnt they notify me of the slack prior to installing the cover? the sludge remains, the lifters being installed incorrectly, and the crankshaft not appropriately polished is unacceptable when I paid for these services. Had I not disassembled this motor prior to firing, exponential damage could occur.Im not saying that they cant or dont build 5 star engines, but my shortblock was far from what I consider quality. Im glad I decided to go through it and inspect my magnum shortblock prior to firing. All i have to say is trust but verify folks. Beware.

Well, My experience was horrible. I would not recommend them too anyone. I was way over charged for a service that other only charge half of want I was charged. He did not even give me all my parts backfor a motor that I had tested from his shop. They change there price after they have your motor. Beware

OK at first but soon realized was a huge mistake. I had them double key my Forged steel Eagle Crankshaft for a supercharged SBC. When I dropped it off I was told one price then when I went to pick it up they had (without calling and asking me) Upgraded the keyway which made it cost more...ok but heres where it gets better. I asked if after the machining was done if they cleaned it in and out. They said yes so in good faith, Bgged it. a little while later here I am Having to pretty much rebuild my engine due to metal that in fact was all inside the crankshaft from you guessed it, RPM... their inability to be thorough and honest has cost me $1000+ in getting everything rechecked at another machine shop plus the bearings that got ate up. I will NEVER be using them again. I AM LOOKING INTO LEGAL ACTION Due to this incident and I will NEVER recommend them for any application of machining that requires accuracy and honesty. GO TO CAMS and talk to Donnie in Crestview.
