They've always treated me right and given me exactly what I asked for. Besides solid basic machine work, these guys are capable of doing some things that are a little out of the ordinary, such as grinding a crank from a raw billet or forging, to grinding you a camshaft on site to making their own valve springs and retainers. Their cams and valvetrain parts are a well-kept secret among many from f.a.s.t. racers. Highly recommended to anyone near the Northern Oakland County, MI area.
