Dan and his son really know their stuff. They balanced the rotating assembly of my 528 cid stroker. Fair priced, and quality work. They are extremely busy and turn around time can be up to a few weeks. But they are the place to go for great work. You will not be disappointed.

Took a clean performance cylinder head in for some fresh guides . I supplied the guides . Valves were loose in the guides when I handed them off . This came off a running engine . They said a couple weeks . I called in about 10 days later to make sure they put a fine finish when they faced the head . They said the guides were out - but not done yet . I called back a week later to ask if done and they said it was done 2 days after I dropped it off ? Valves were in a box when I picked it up . Got home to find a bent exhaust valve- WTH. Also had a guide that I couldn t get a valve in ? How does this not get noticed? I also noticed they only changed 6 of the 12 guides- charged me for 12 ? Where are my guides ?They apologized but had no reason for the bent valve - NLA from Manley . Never offered to pay for valve but said they would do it over again and install the other six valve guides . They did offer to meet me to save travel time but I d rather have had it done right the first time . When I started to install valves I found eyebrow marks in the combustion chamber by the exhaust valve that was replaced . Again- no explanation .I ll never use them again .Oh- and it seems all my valve heights are different . I guess they weren t checked

Took Fooooorrrrever to get my block done (13 months), gave me back rusty/dirty parts and forgot to shot blast the block like i requested before they did the machine work. Crankshaft grind is sub par, the fillet area of the crank wasn't even fully ground leaving a ledge in the center of the fillet and then not oiled and left to rust, Never again. Schmidt racing engines and warrior racing engines are the only shops that will get my money from now on. Pictures showing examples of the work, condition of parts, and how i received the parts backUpdate after i got my block back. basically every dimension they machined was incorrect. asked for the pistons .008" down and got .011 and .014, asked for .003" rod clearance and i got .0015", asked for .005" cylinder wall clearance and got .0035-.0037.after an hour of me bringing my tools to the shop and showing him what was wrong dan "agreed" to "fix" the issues after i told them exactly how much material to take off of each surface and still couldnt get it right! cylinder number 3 has .0062" clearance where the rest are at .005 like i asked. dan reground the rod journals another .010 under (making them .020 under) and only had .002 clearance. deck was within acceptable tolerance but only after i had to tell him exactly how much material to remove. told me after he was finished dont come back to the shop.Dan Quinlin is a hack, avoid at all costs.

This is the Best machine shop in Indy. They have a there hands full. But the owner is such a Professional. The quality craftsmanship. And the attention to detail. They take there work to the next level. They explain the work and sometimes makes you feel like they want to know that your in best shop. They make you like they strive for quality over quantity. . And I would never go anywhere else.

Have to be the rudest, least professional mothathumprs around! Called for a quote on some machine work, was put on hold three different times by multiple people and finally the 4th person picks up and says it'll be 2500 without asking any questions or knowing what I needed, super dismissive. Called another, more reputable shop who was very cordial, professional and knowledgeable, upon learning my needs quoted me a realistic number that was more than 1k less than these jokers..guess which one will be getting my business, this time and every time after

They did a great valve job on my 79 harley and no problems. Went back recently cause I blew a spark. They gave me great advice and lent me the specialty tools I needed. I'll be back.

Called today about having the heads and block machined. The gentleman on the phone was super rude that I did not give him enough information to quote it. Just ask for the information you need! I can't read your mind! When we got to talking about the heads, he threw some snippy comments in as well! They've lost my business before they even got it! I won't be recommending them either. I don't have time for rude people.

Best place for anything engine related. It is a family owned business, Dan Quinlan is owner, and does all of my engine machine work. He is great with race engines too. He is doing my mopar 528 stroker engine. Very fair pricing too. Check them out you won't be sorry.

I brought these guys the cylinder, a new piston and the valve assembly off of my dirt bike. They did a phenomenal job bring the cylinder and seating get the valves. Got it done in less than a weeks time. A+ work.In response to another review on here - after spending a couple of years working a parts counter for a motorsports shop, I absolutely hated when we would get calls from somebody who wasn't familiar with what they were talking about while relaying the conversation to a second else in the room. I doubt it was because you were a woman, but simply that they would rather talk to the person who iis familiar with the work needing to be done and not the person in the middle of it.

I called in and had a terrible experience. I was put on hold 4 different times by someone that was very rude and uninterested. I was quoted an extremely high price for the value of what I was requesting as if it were an attempt to run me off due to high demand. Very unprofessional.

My boyfriend runs and owns his own auto mechanic business. So to help him out I called these idiots to get a price for him. They did ask a couple of questions I didn't know so I asked my boyfriend and the moron on the phone asked me to speak with him. Ok fine. (Mind you I had him on speaker so my boyfriend could hear him) when my boyfriend said hello the *sshole said "I don't want to translate through a woman" excuse me you sexist bastard.

Similar experience as below. Snippy, rude, and condescending. Needed headwork on a vw tdi. Interrupted me then immediately complained I didn't give enough info. Immediately hung up when he started being rude. The head is off the car and I will gladly drive 30 minutes out of my way to avoid dealing with people like this.

I had Quinlin's rebuild my 7.3 powerstroke. They managed to improperly balance my crank. These motors should be internally balanced, especially when built with high power goals in mind. The shop decided to balance the motor externally, and didn't inform me. Ruining my $800 billet steel flex plate and my $250 harmonic balancer. The truck shook so violently that nuts rattled loose. I pulled the motor, again. Took it to a well known shop and found the mess Quinlins left me in. I paid $750 to have the motor rebalanced and had to buy ANOTHER new flexplate and ANOTHER new harmonic balancer. About $3000 later, the motor is running smooth. Quinlins denies all responsibility and refuses to work with me. A bunch of assholes are Quinlins that do NOT stand behind their product or service.AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

Always does a very accurate job of machining. Parts come back clean and ready to assemble. Great place to have machine work done.

Danny is a good friend of mine,he has been prepping my engine blocks for going on ten years now and he's always done a great job and has given me great advice,I live in northeastern indiana and he's worth the drive to the Southside of Indianapolis and his prices are Rock bottom.

Some guy from here totally got in my face at the mall and threatened me. What kind of an idiot goes out in his work shirt and picks fights with families in a public place. I will never take my vehicle to a place where the staff is that intimidating because they have security issues. Sad life bug guy.
