Best machine shop ever! These guys have experience dating back to the original owner being a machinist in Pearl harbor during the war. Their top notch and produce only the best.Downside is the wait time, if you are in a rush or want it done cheap this is not the place to call.Upside there is no place that can do what they can ir have the experience and knowledge they do.

Great experience with them decking my Miata head and doing a valve job. They are retiring soon, so they are to be closing down.

This place is top notch! Family owned and operated for decades. The owner Gary saved my bacon. I was visiting from out of town when I discovered my aunt and uncle's boat had a bad valve. I only had two weeks here and needed a shop that not only did good work but fast....and even though Gary and Co. were slammed and busy after learning my predicament he stepped up and promised me a one week turn....yet he delivered in THREE DAYS!! I can't say enough about these people. The work was quick, quality, and a fair price.....and the info Gary shared about my boat particular situation was invaluable and saved me much frustration and time. I will use them again in the future when I tear into the other engine on the boat.

Not a promoter. My experience with Grimes Automotive was less than stellar. Aside from the many issues I had and am currently dealing with, I never felt like a valued customer but more like an imposition throughout the entire ordeal. I am sure his valued racing clients get much better service but if you re like me being just a "walk in" and wanting to build that dream engine for your ride, you may want to shop around.

Gary and Renee are great people and the quality of work in their shop is top notch! If you want a car the can run into the 6's in the 1/4 mile or a boat capable of 130+ this is your type of shop.

Extremely disappointed.. took over two weeks after I dropped off my parts for inspection to be done. I had to call to ask. I required a few wear parts and I had to source them on my own, bought oem and delivered them to grimes. Was told everything was done just need to be assemble and would take a few days. After a week and a half, multiple calls and voicemails with no response, finally some one answered to tell me they dont know whats going on. Told them i was coming to pick up my parts and the response was "oh its on the bench now". They did not ask about specifics for my application and i recieved an unfinished product. A lot of trustworthy people told me they are the best, but had to find out the hard way it was not the case. I will never return here.

I spent maybe 5 minutes getting some small parts I needed. It took so little time thanks to the great sense of service and the availability of a really unlikely part! Outstanding customer servive, highly recommend them!

The best automotive machine shop and engine builder I have found. Specializing in race engines. Garry built the 302 engine for my '68 Z28 and I could not be happier.

A group of some of the most intelligent people I have encountered and an absolute pleasure to deal with. Best place for a reliable race engine that will make power or something as simple as a refresh.
