On Monday I called this place and the guy told me he has the machine to press in wheel bearings so I decided to bring him my parts. He was going to charge $70 for each side (which wasn t too bad considering all the BS all the other shops were giving me about doing this sort of thing) He told me he had some backed up work that day and I would be the last on his list for things to do so I told him I d bring the parts on Thursday instead if that s better for him and he said that ll be better because he will have more time freed up by then. We agreed for me to bring him the wheel bearings Thursday. So I bring the parts to him on Thursday at 10am and he tells me he ll call me in a little while to pick them up. I called back at 3 o clock (my car was on the lift this whole time waiting on his call) and asked if he was finished with the bearings, he then gets nasty on the phone and says I told you I was busy and I ll get to it when I can and it s not going to be done today (instead of just telling me that he would be busy and it won t be done today and wouldn t get to it until tomorrow) then says if you don t want to wait take it somewhere else. I decide to pick my parts up and they were literally outside of the shop on the floor. I wouldn t recommend anybody to this guy, especially after being very nasty and unprofessional. Take your money and go elsewhere, they have no time management or courtesy here.

This tiny little machine shop operates like a transmission shop. if you come in for something minor, you are leaving with a transmission. this is one of those places that is all about the owner's ego and he goes to lengths to prove how unprofessional he is.the owner Ernie is not willing to abide by the customer's wishes while he claims that's exactly what he does. he tried to bait and switch me claiming he would polish my crankshaft, but then told me i needed a complete rebuild when it was clearly not necessary. i really didn't appreciate all the time i wasted finding out he's a liar.he specifically told me he does not contemplate what he finds during disassembly, he just does complete rebuilds on everything, no matter what it is. that tells me he doesn't really understand what he is doing and just hones cylinders and grinds valves to his heart's content.as far as i'm concerned, i wouldnt give this guy slant 6 to work on

Ernie is a liar and a cheat .came in to have a valve seat ground he ground the valve and then lied to my face saying he ground the seat and vacuum tested it .it still leaks and charged me 50 dollars to do what amounts to nothing .he quoted me 30 to 50 and then attempted to charge me 70 without even performing the job I asked him to do .you'd be better off going anywhere else .the Bert and Ernie show is just that a comedy...thanks again ernie....Service: Engine repair

Went to A&M to buy crank bearings and was told I can't buy them because just replacing bearing without getting anything machined was a bad idea ... I was then talked into having my motor rebuild.. Ernie came to my house and picked up all my parts for the rebuild.. after a month I called to see if they started my motor yet and they haven't (which I was happy because I wanted to change some things ). I was then argued with about building my own motor and was told I don't need that much power .. after many months I called in November to see if the motor would be done soon and I was told is would be finished this week and then I was told the next week and that went on all month..so I decided to go take a look and engine was just a bare block on the floor.... we also agreed on a set price but Ernie decided the motor needed more work then what we talked about so he took it apon himself and approved more work to be done.. he also didnt like the gaskets I bought so he took that apon himself and replaced those .. so the price jumped up $600 without my permission .. after waiting a little longer I was "promised" the motor would be done before December .. the motor was finally finished dec.15 but I wasn't aloud to pick it up because I didn't want to pay the extra $600... now I'm not saying the work they did was bad ..my motor blew up 167 miles after due to a part failure but A&M has nothing to do with that

What a rip off and keeps you in the dark. Tells you one thing and then does what he wants. Stay away from this shop. Horrible experience and way over priced.
