To make a very long story short, I caught this person in several lies, and he admitted it cuz I put him on the spot. He sold me a motor with SUPPOSEDLY 94,000 miles on it, but upon investigation it had 179,000 . 5 codes came up on a diagnostic after motor was installed. $4200 later, waiting to go to court. Stay far away from this business.

After waiting about 9 months to get the machine work done on the motor for my f100, I finally got it back. Upon inspection when I got home I wasn t happy with the quality of the bore job and took it to another shop to evaluate. The block had never actually been bored, only honed. I m now questioning all the work done so I guess I will get to pay for it twice. Save your money and find somewhere else.Service: Motor building

I took in my prius v engine 1.8l to be rebuilt. Paid 1800.00 3 tries and 8 months later got engine back finally. Seemed like a lot of run around. Maybe taking in to much work, more than they could handle or something. Installed the engine and it makes very bad noise and doesnt run right at all. Called them for warranty on engine been waiting for them to get me in for almost two months now. Getting very old.

Dropped of a little Kobota diesel motor for repair in October of 2021. Talked with Kevin the owner (I think) about it. Said he needed $1000 deposit and thought it would be about 2k ish to repair. Call and spoke to him the first few months and he hadn t got to it. Then I started calling every week. Excuse after excuse after excuse why he didn t start on it. Fast forward a FULL to October of 2022. I hade enough. Went to pick my motor up still in pieces. All he had done was hone the cylinders!!! He also lost a bunch of head bolts and other parts as well. Everything else was exactly the same. Asked for my $$$$ back but didn t matter never got a dime.Long story short if you want robbed by a thief that your motor to this clown!!!!Service: Engine repair

I have used Fidlers before with lackluster results, but for whatever reason I decided to try them again. I brought in a disassembled Ford small block engine (minus the heads) hoping I would walk out with a rotating short block assembly, because that's what he said he would do. Big mistake! Brought him everything he needed. Was told that he could have the work done in a week. Fast forward nearly two months later (with weekly phone calls asking about the progress of my engine, always getting the runaround of course), and I left with a block that was simply hot tanked and quickly honed with no parts whatsoever installed, just the new pistons merely pressed onto the rods. I was handed a box full of (of course) cheap DNJ bearings and rings and sent on my way. WHAT AN ABSOLUTE JOKE!! And all that for the low low price of $400! Unbelievable, I will NEVER do business here again. Honestly, I can't believe he is still in business if this is the way he treats his customers. This guy is a flake, so do yourself a favor and find a reputable machine shop. This was totally not worth all the trouble and time absolutely wasted by his lack of not being able to do what he agreed that he would do.Service: Engine repair

The guy knows his stuff. Very helpful with my IROC build. He has done 3 rebuilds for me with no issues other than it taking a while to get done. But I have always told them I wasn't in a rush.

I bought a ram 1500 from a local dealership got all the paperwork on a rebuild engine that was done at fiddler. Had a ticking in engine that worried me. Called Kevin fiddler and he had me bring the truck into him. He explained everything he was doing and done a great job.

This is the only shop we take our car and truck to. They are very friendly and provide excellent service. I am sad it took us so long to find a place like this. Just stop in. You won't be disappointed.

I took my block in to be sleeved, change out rods- pistons.. when I got it back, it was installed and I ran it for an easy 2000 miles to break em in... took it all back out to turbo my set up.. took it to revline motors in kc where I planned on finishing my build at and when they took off the oil pan, there was a ridiculous amount of metal shavings in the pan (overtightened rod caps burnt all of my bearings and put score lines all in my crankshaft), all of my sleeves were all scored up ( didn't seat the piston rings properly), and they grinded on all of my H-beam rods for clearance ( supposed to grind on the block not the rods).. so when I went to revline to confirm this, it was very disturbing! I call fidlers machine shop back up to tell him what the issue was and he told me basically that I was lying and needed to bring the block back up to him (I live in kck).. so I pull the motor and get it up to him.. all he did to "fix" the issue was replace the bearings, hone out the sleeves (which didnt fix anything bc they couldn't hone enough of em without changing the specs) and micropolished the crank... said it was all ready to go.. me being me i took the block to a different machine shop so that i could get another set of eyes on it and go figure, the first thing the guy asked me was, u know you're not supposed to grind on the rods right? So fidler lied to me when I asked if he grinded on my rods for clearance.. all in all I paid fidlers over 1100 for services, had to take off of work to bring my block back up to him and had to pay to bore out my sleeves to make em right which means I had to buy new pistons as well and new skunk2 alpha series long rods.. I would never recommend this machine shop to do any performance builds..

Knowledgeable staff, and they do good work. The shop is what you would expect, a bit dirty and cluttered, but it is a machine shop.
