I have used the parts Bill and the crew have built , bent or out right machinedFor my many projects I've been involvedWith through the years. From Custom Drivelines and U-joints , Custome oversize U- bolts. To custome built shafts for many applications...alwaysA great job. Good turn around time, and the price is good ..I just had front and rear Drivelines rebuilt yesterday .and as usual it's a terrific job. THANK YOU. ILL DEFINITELY BE BACK

Riebe's machine really does awesome work. I have been using them for years at our shop and Bill and his team will go above and beyond on any project from drive lines to rebuilding a slider. They do incredible work and I can't thank them enough, they will always be my go to machine shop. I have never been disappointed with the work they do and it is always great quality and I can tell they put there very best into their machine work. If you are looking for a Machine shop that you can trust to do the very best work for your projects, stop in and check out Riebe's.

Bill Was rudely brief, and short. His wife was great, and told me they could squeeze me in on the same day. When I got there- Bill refused to install the U-joints I had already purchased, which is fine (just go there expecting to buy HIS u-joints). Then told me they were short-handed and didn t have time to do it today, which totally differed from what I heard over the phone. Didn t waste any more time, of mine or Bill s.

This business is AWESOME! They have always been there for us, even at a moments notice. They all do quality work in a timely fashion, at a good price. Bill, Chris and Cindy are a great company to work with. They've kept our company up and running for us when others probably wouldn't have been so devoted. We wouldn't go any where else!

When we moved to Kalispell 21 years ago one of the first and best stops I made was at Riebe Machine Shop to get some work done on my old Harley Davidson motorcycle! Bill did the work almost immediately and it was done perfectly even though old motorcycle work was not his specialty. He fixed my bike like magic.Since that time Riebe Machine has been a constant help to our family. I own two antique trucks, an antique car, a pontoon boat, six Harley Davidsons motorcycles, two dirt bikes, a four wheeler, a riding lawn mower, a lawn tractor, a snowblower, and other power tools... and Bill Riebe has worked on all of them at some time for me. It doesn't matter what the job is, he is always eager and willing to do absolutely amazing work on my machines! He does welding and machine work and at times he even redesigns and re-engineers my machines to make them work better than original.I cannot speak highly enough about the cheerful "can-do" attitude each and every time that I go there for help!There have been times when Bill has even come to my machine when I was not able to move it to his shop. Just recently I needed to get a hole drilled and tapped in the end of the crankshaft on my old '54 Chevy station wagon, but the car was unable to run at the time so Bill came over to the auto repair shop where the car was being worked on and drilled the hole and tapped it with the engine still in the car, thus allowing the mechanic to mount the harmonic balancer onto my engine and get it running! No extra charge was asked for leaving his shop and going to the auto repair shop to do the work. Had it not been for Bill's expert skill and willingness to bring his "can-do" attitude to the auto repair shop I would have had to pull the entire engine out of the car to get the hole drilled.That kind of work is the every-day expert service provided by Riebe Machine Shop!One other note is that Bill has trained an expert assistant named Chris who is now capable of almost any job that Bill can do! Those two run the shop so expertly that the shop is always bustling with work. The greatest review of their work lies in the THOUSANDS OF REPEAT CUSTOMERS that rely on their shop and their expert work; the front of the shop is always full of new work projects and the office is always full of very pleased REPEAT customers! Please notice that the few negative reviews are all from first time customers. Many of those repeat customers rely on Riebe Machine works to earn a living and the come back again and again for their expert work. I cannot recommend their work highly enough.

Bill built me a great drive shaft for my 68 Mustang and 67 Camaro. Holds up well when I put it to the test drag racing. Wouldn't go anywhere else!! His secretary Cindy is really great to deal with.

We have used Riebe s machine shop for as long as we ve been in business, over 30 years. The owners, Bill and Cindy, are knowledgeable and friendly. We wouldn t trust anyone else with our repair work. I have never experienced bad service or rude responses from anyone at this business. Highly recommend!

Very unpopular in my book wouldn t send my worst enemy to them!!! And it was $1100 and they didn t even do the job that was asked of them ended up doing it myself. I was so mad I couldn t even walk in to pay them my husband had to do it. Should be Zero stars !!!! Oh and Bill is a very rude person who should not be talking to anyone about anything he should go do the work in the back and get someone nice up front to speak with customers.

Rude staff, and "can't" perform basic/minor machining tasks...such as drilling a 3/16" hole in a 1/2" hardened steel rod...a single hole, not tapped with threads nor tapered. Nothing special. But I was told on the phone by one of their "Machinists" that they "probably couldn't do anything."...the next four machine shops I called told me it wouldn't be a problem. The one I ended up taking it to charged me $15 because it only took him 4 minutes....So with that all said, this would be the very last place I would recommend to somebody in need of any actual machine work. I will sooner go to some backyard machinist before this joke of an establishment.

I've been using Riebe's Machine Works for several years now and they've always exceeded my expectations. They have an efficient, courteous staff who gets work done in a timely manner. I will continue to use them for my machining needs.

Worked with Bill on multiple occasions purchasing various items. He was very honest with prices in line with the market, if not slightly less than expected. I hope to work with him in the future.

DO NOT GO HERE! Talked to BILL over phone extremely rude and did not care to help me at all. in the middle of asking a question about my car he hung up on me. He's happy to take your money but doesn't want to help you.

I, the customer, was an inconvenience to them. The pieces I received back were way out of whack to the naked eye and looked incredibly worse when he was incensed and took out his micrometer... strike 2 and we are through.

I thought there was nothing I could do for the feed roller on my chipper. It was all rust and seized together. Luckily these guys did great work to help me get it back into production
