I am absolutely thrilled to share my wonderful experience with GOZA Auto parts and machine shop! From the moment I stepped into their store, I was greeted with a warm smile and a friendly atmosphere. This level of customer service truly sets them apart from any other auto parts shop I have visited.One aspect that particularly impressed me about GOZA Auto parts and machine shop is their exceptional commitment to quality control. It is evident that they prioritize delivering only the best products to their customers. They actually took the time to call me and ask me to come down and inspect the honed cylinders before they took it off the honing machine. Their attention to detail and strict quality standards truly gave me peace of mind, knowing that I was investing in reliable and durable machined parts.Moreover, I cannot emphasize enough how fantastic their customer service is at GOZA Auto parts and machine shop. The staff members are incredibly knowledgeable and always willing to go above and beyond to assist me. Whether I needed help finding a specific part or had questions about installation, they were ready and able to provide answers and a detailed explanation of the answers.

This old man is out of touch and unfortunately so is his shop. Had a crankshaft machined, has issues with machining and bearings matched up. Called him to discuss my issues and try to determine how to proceed. He then began calling me dumb and making claims that it shouldn't have been installed without being checked. The engine was still on the stand when the conversation happened. He then hung up on me and told me I'm crazy. I would avoid Goza by all means necessary. Zero quality control and even worse customer service.

Tommy was kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. He took my father and I on a tour of his shop. I brought him a head I needed decked and he got it back to me the next day. I am building another engine soon. Much better than any other shop I've used. Will use again!

This is the most KNOWLEGEABLE and EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONAL Machine Shop I have EVER had the pleasure of doing business with. I was trying to restore a 350 GM engine from a 72 Chevy Truck I am restoring. Most of the Experienced (Retired Ol' Farts ... I'm a TEACHER) auto restoration and auto hobby and auto-engine technophiles (all over Georgia) know well and recommend the shop equipment Goza uses and has MASTERED with Maestro Artistry capabilities.They have highly expensive and finely calibrated machine capabilities NO ONE ELSE IN GEORGIA and few in the South East-US even know exist!!! While working on my engine I was shown the "inner sanctum" of machine equipment and Professional training ... Training ... TRAINING required just calibrate and to use it as it was designed. (We're talking out of the country professional training -- like Highly specialized ... SPECIALIZED ... West German Machines).They have a price list for all their work and you can take in minor jobs or fully disassembled engines to have specific machine work at upfront advertised prices. No secret fees and upgrades you don t ask for, and the more you KNOW THE MORE YOU WILL APPRECIATE THEIR SKILLS and PROFESSIONALISM ... AND TOTAL EXPERIENCE in DOING JUST THAT !!!Their work on my 350-GM engine, saved me THOUSANDS in things I didn t know Nor wouldn t ever know without their HONEST AND KOWLEDGABLE MACHINE SHOP SKILLS AND EXPERTISE !!!So much for the ignorant wheel-barrow mechanics walking into this shop with a chip on their shoulder and looking for Wally World gas caps.

There's a reason Tommy Goza's shop has been around since 1976. He does business the way it should be done. He knows his craft and takes care of his customers. I'm one of them. I'm willing to pay a little extra for top rate service and guaranteed craftsmanship. If you don't like what he posts on his board, stop looking. You don't pay the rent for the shop and you're not there to criticize his housekeeping. If something on the rare occasion happens, they take care of it if there's even a question of fault. If you are a pompous crybaby that wants the block you dropped off your truck fixed for free....go somewhere else. They may be fair, but they aren't baby sitters. To everyone else....Tommy's the best around.!!

I had a full engine rebuild completed by Tommy and I could not be more happy with the result. The pricing was fully itemized and he detailed every step before work was performed, it was absolutely professional. I felt like I got the full value of the investment in my engine which was worth the skill and knowledge they offer. The shop is clean and well organized, everyone was very friendly and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

Drove over a hr after speaking with the before about having a forged crank turnt. Went from he can turn it on the phone to when I get they now its junk. Then offers to sell me one off his shelf. Plus my crank is forged why would I buy a used cast crank for the same price i can buy it brand new at summit. Dont waste yourtime here.

Charged for service not discussed or approved. Went to this shop for a second opinion only be referral. Deceptive, defensive, scammer. Makes the same excuses over and over. Never calls you about your product. Will seek any and all legal and criminal proceedings against this business. Be advised. This is most definitely not an honest or professional establishment.

UPDATE:: I have updated my original 1 star to 4 stars simply because of how THE OWNER handled the situation. The person we originally spoke with was not the owner. The owner called my husband back to speak with him about the issue within a few weeks if I remember correctly, but I never updated my review. The owner did apologize for the situation as well as the behavior of the person we originally spoke with about everything. We may actually return to this business in the future simply due to the owner's outstanding customer service and willingness to apologize to us. He was able to drop the price a bit on the engine, but we can still get a brand new, already rebuilt engine that is ready to drop in, plug and play for half the cost, so that is likely what we will do. I still do not want to give them 5 stars strictly due to the fact that whoever was working on our job obviously was not paying attention to what we had requested be done, or the person on the phone did not understand or relay the info properly. At this point, I do not think they were intentionally trying to swindle us into paying for a lot of extra stuff, but I do think they need to take care of being a little more thorough regarding customer requests and how it is translated to their machinists. It may have been different if they were dealing with someone that doesn't do this for a living, but I work in a VERY similar industry and I understand/have first hand knowledge and experience with the machining ops required to do the extra services they performed.ORIGINAL POST August of 2020::ZERO STARS. Simply put, this person is a liar and a thief. He was asked to call us with information and a price about the motor, and instead he went ahead and did a ton of work on the engine that we NEVER APPROVED or asked him to do. If you take your engine here, you are basically asking to be robbed. WE WILL NEVER RETURN TO THIS BUSINESS. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THEM.

Highly recommend. Shop was slammed with work and they put out a balance job in a week. Bring everything at once and you will not be disappointed.

I had heard of Mr. Goza for a number of years. But he's about an hour drive from me. So I had dropped off a flywheel at a closer engine shop to be balanced back in February. Well corona hit and there machine was down waiting on parts. So they sent the flywheel over to Tommy. He got it knocked out in a matter of a day or two. Great work. Had a great time talking to him as well when I picked it up. He might be an hour drive away, but he'll get all my engine machine work from here out.

I've had great experiences with the team there. I brought in a Chevy 283 for a 1959 Corvette that I'm restoring back to its original 290HP config. I sat down with them described what I wanted and they delivered. They bored and sleeved the block back to standard size, decked the block, complete rebuild of the heads (valves, springs, rocker arms, etc), polished the crankshaft, ordered new camshaft/timing chain kit/oil pump/push rods/connecting rods, custom ordered a new set of domed pistons, balanced the assembly (pistons, rods, crankshaft) including flywheel/pressure plate combo. I believe I got my money's worth and will use them again in the future.

Tommy is one of the nicest guys in the business and we have been using him since 1978 for high quality machine work on our Porsche engines. He is very conscientious, his prices are very reasonable, and he actually gets the work out in a timely manner. I would not hesitate to use him for your engine work. He is great on v-8S

Fair pricing, did exactly what I asked and even gave me notes on every little thing they did to my cylinder heads

Have used him three times in last 10 years. Had two flywheels turned and some headers flanges ground flat. Very fair prices, good turn around and quality work. Always dealt directly with Tommy. If I could give 6 stars I would!

Place is amazing, I drive an 1982 el camino looking for some engine work, more horsepower. If you love or like engines and parts, you will love this place. It's like a baby summit. Drove past it so many times and didn't realize it was a engine shop. They bore, honing, balancing, competition valve jobs, cam bearing, port work, glass bead blasting. Car or diesel, cast iron or aluminum. Walked threw the whole shop. What other shop will let you and talk for hrs about what they love to do everyday. Amazing, thanks Joe

As long as you are spending money, Tommy is your buddy. As soon a you question his work he gets defensive and sparky. Very expensive. Never his fault. Told us everything was perfect. After he checked everything he determined the cam was 3 degrees out. Didn't know that when we came back in because he never checked it before it went out.

If your looking for any automotive machine work done definitely talk to Tommy and his team. Great people and decades of experience. He's done some great work for me. I would recommend him. Great Advice as well!

Great experience with Goza. Had a couple of brake rotors turned to clean them up. Service was extremely fast, and the owner was very friendly. Will definitely use Goza again.

Best machinist in NW Atlanta. Charges what's necessary to make a living and hire competent employees. Seems really unfair of folks to leave a one star review because they can't afford good work. You absolutely get what you pay for with machine work.

Every engine I've ever built with them has performed and lasted great. Honest and knowledgeable. If you complain about the price you may not be able to afford the car business IMHO.

Came to this shop on short notice with a small project that no one else would take up for me. The people at the shop kindly agreed to do the work and stayed through lunch to complete it!!!! The owner of this shop and the employees are without a doubt the best in the business at what they do and are some damn fine gentleman at that.

The people here were rude and condescending and the price they quoted me was almost twice what another shop charged me. Don't waste your time going here. These people are very unprofessional and they are ripping people off. While I was in their shop I overheard them talking about another client and I was appalled at how disrespectful they were. These people don't value their customers at all.

Exactly as stated in other review. Very Very expensive. Probably because they are the only one in the area. Of course they do great work, but man, do you pay for it! I am willing to drive 30 miles to have the work done, and costs about half.
