Had these folks do a bunch of work on a N/A 5.3l and heads. They did a fantastic job! Machine work was beautifully done. I will bring my other engines here.

I have had great results from most of the work Western Engine Supply and purchased parts from them on occasion. I've also recommended friends to them with good reviews back.

Terry and staff were always pleasant to work with and were upfront with timelines. There was an issue when I finally got my motor back with the exhaust cam being out of time. This would have been a big nuisance had I not caught it with the engine still on the stand. But Terry had his guys come to my house and had it corrected that day. I've put almost 2k miles on the motor so far and it is running like brand new. I also feel like I got an exceptional value compared to what other shops are charging for the same type of work.

Been using Western for over 10 years. The shop does great work. Terry is honest, super knowledgeable, takes time to talk about your specific goals and has actually saved me money talking me out of services I don t really need. This is why I keep going back.

I'm very happy with the pricing, service and expertise. These guys go above and beyond to make sure you get quality service. Fyi they are very busy times may be long but well worth the wait.

We have been using Western for years, every product I have gotten from them has been flawless. No issues what so ever. Which is big praise from someone who knows the amount of things that could go wrong when machining automotive parts. Good Job guys and gals!

If you want customer service, you will not find a stand up shop like this anywhere! They admitted a simple mistake, refunded our money, even delivered the product back to us in exactly 18hrs. They put us on priority and delivered more than expected. Keep in mind we dropped off the product right before they closed. WOW! Keep it up, this is the standard every shop should follow, thank you very much and you have earned our business for life!

Terry and the Crew did a full remove, rebuild, re-install on my 1953 Chevy. They took amazing care of my baby, no nicks or dings taking the motor in/out. Had some problems after the rebuild, which can be expected with such comprehensive work, and he totally stood behind his work and made it right. I would not hesitate to recommend and would go back to Western Engine even with my precious collectable cars.Services: Auto engine tuning, Engine repair, Motor building

First off I would like to say how professional and smart the owner Terry is. I was shopping around for a machine shop here in Colorado for awhile, and after meeting Terry and doing a walk through of his shop. I decided to have him build a 460 for me. After one short week the motor was finished. Stabbed it in, in a couple days and it took off beautifully. It's good to find a shop that takes pride in what they do and stand behind there work. If your on the fence about a engine builder just go in and talk to them you will be sold, like I was. Thanks guys for the great work!!

I had an excellent experience. I didn't have a press and needed some new pistons swapped over for my engine rebuild. Quick and timely. Competitively priced. There could have been a little better communication/service, but don't let this deter you from using their services.

We toured the shop and decided to have Western rebuild an obsolete 391 Ford industrial engine. The only problem we had was a communication problem caused by our IT department. Terry called and left a call me urgent voice mail that I never received. I chewed him out when we picked up the engine because of the 1 day delay that I hadn't been told about. Three weeks later when the IT department restored something I received his voicemail with a date stamp of the day he called. After re-installation, break-in and a full load test, every operator has told me that I did a great job! This engine had never run that well before.Would I take another engine to Western Engine? Yes I have submitted budget requests for 4 more. Probably 1 a year.

I will never again use this company, first of all Terry who I dealt with was arrogant and rude the whole time we had to deal with him. That bit of unprofessionalism and that fact that they do not stand by there work is probably the reason reviews are poor. We paid them 2400.00 to rebuild an engine, from the get go it had valve noise. Terry told us his guys didn't make mistakes, had our guys fix it cause we didn't want to deal with the attitude.5 months later vehicle smoked like crazy, so we took it back to them. They told us they couldn't get the car to smoke. I soon as I picked it up it smoked. Bottom line this place does a terrible job at something their suppose to be good at. Best to go somewhere were their going to stand by product and word.

I purchased a Ford 302 5years ago. Very good engine. I'm considering a 351 for the same vehicle. They are my first choice for engines. My 302 still runs strong. Need more torque than the 302 can supply.

Horrible! Especially Terry! Hey Terry look! Here's my "threat" of NEVER recommending your company! Terry, go ahead and respond like you have all the other bad reviews! Excited to see your response on giving me a car oil pump when the motor I brought into you was for a 4x4 truck that calls for a completely different oil pump because of the pick-up tube! Argue it, please!! Like you did when I called you! You're also a thief! I want my money back for the incorrect pump kit! Your turn Terry....

I asked for my block to be baked and inspect the line hone and bore taper. I called a week or so later and was told all my machine work was done. Boring, Decking the block and bake/shotpeen. I paid for the work and thought hard about was came out of my mouth when I dropped off my block. I accepted that I may not have been clear about boring but I never mentioned decking the block. To be fair to the shop they did refund the money for that service. This is the first engine I have built and in my profession (engineering), I consider it part of my job to educate my clients. I would choose another shop in my humble opinion. Search auto machine shop or engine rebuilding services.

Horrible service. Time after time, their estimated time projections were off. First it was, "It'll be just a few days." Then it was, "Actually next week." Then it was Tuesday. Then Wednesday. Then, finally, Thursday and even then, that was BARELY correct.I understand it's hard to estimate when you can get a car done but when you say it will be ready " at [x time] today" and you end up waiting for over an hour is ridiculous.On top of this the staff, especially the receptionist, is unbelievable rude.

AWESOME CREW!!!! I took my 2004 VW Passat TDI there with possible transmission issue after being told by another company that it was throwing a transmission codes and the torque converter was going out ($5000) estimate. I never saw anything light up on the dash though. They test drove it checked the codes and told me it was fine. I was also getting an check engine light and one glow plug was out. The replaced all 4 at my request (when one goes I believe the others will soon follow). Great price and a truly honest shop. Darryl is a super duper service adviser. They always fix it right the first time.

Terry is a man among men. The work they did for me is beyond reproach. I look forward to working with them again. I highly recommend Western Engine Supply for all your engine servicing needs.

Called for machine work. They have the equipment, but it's not a popular motor. So they won't do the work. They will exaggerate the scope of work to make their poor customer service seem fair. In all reality though, it is pure laziness! "Not sure where I put the jig and don't care to look!!"

Was sold what was supposed to be an impressive chevy stroker V8. After weeks and weeks of run around and installation in my truck it still didn't run right. Multiple trips back and multiple times being told it was fixed and it still didn't work right plus the lifters were making a bad ticking noise. Finally got my money back... well most of it.
