George is the best! They did a fantastic job on the cylinder heads on 5.3L Suburban. On top of it all, they turned the job around in 1-day. I HIGHLY recommend Cylinder Head Specialties

Small town old school feel, but they have excellent capabilities. Price is reasonable! Head cleaned and flat topped, block bored and decked. Ready for boost!

Great service, fair prices, and quick turnaround. I dropped off a set of big block v8 ford cylinders to be rebuilt and they were completed a week ahead of schedule. Very quality work. They also do engine block and crankshaft machine work though I have no experiences with these services offered. Hindsight, I probably should have brought my engine block work to them also. Getting harder and harder to find engine machinists. If you are looking for engine machine work in the triangle, I would recommend you check them out.The building is in the back part of a used car dealership that isn't affiliated with them, don't let the looks of the location or outside of building fool you, top notch service.

I did some research and looked for someone that had great reviews and glad I found this place. I had a blown head gasket on my Dodge Ram and decided to take both my heads here to get them pressure checked and resurfaced (if needed). Ella was very nice to me, along with George. Fantastic work. I wish more of the younger generation would pick up the trades as we are always going to need great machinists!

I have worked with George at CHS for over 15 years. Always been honest with me about any project before moving forward. Consistent quality and solid results every time. Fair pricing and workmanship they stand behind.

Moved here from ny had a machine shop in the family. Have had about a dozen heads done by George and he does a fantastic job. He even extracted a broken exhaust stud I didn't realize I left in. Attention to detail is everything in this business and he's got it.

My Chevy Impala cylinder heads needed valve seat, valve job, pressure test, resurface and more. They were fixed and I was very happy with the end result. Great service and in a timely manner. You want your cylinder heads fixed, this is the place. George is a specialist and he truly knows his stuff. I will recommend this place to my friends and family. Thanks George for a great job.

Excellent customer service. I walked in to ask about honing a cylinder for my dirtbike. Machinist looked at it briefly took some measurements and said this thing looks great no need to do anything to it. A+ customer service.

Excellent service and fast turnaround! This family run shop knows how to deliver customer service. George's shop was recommended to me by a friend and he quoted me $50 lower than other shops to refresh the head off my e30 BMW 325i. I brought in the head completely assembled since my knowledge stops at machine work. George had the it pressure tested, decked, new valve seals, reground valves and the stock cam put back in 2 days. I have since driven the little convertible a few hundred miles and it runs perfectly. I'm referring all my friends here from now on.

Needed some repair work on a couple of shifter levers. They were able to turn it around in the same day with excellent results and very reasonable prices. Will definitely use them again in the future.
