It doesn't get any better than Brooks Elliott! I've been using Brooks for 8 years and never had an issue with any of his work. Brooks was able to find problems with cylinder heads, other machine shops couldn't. Saves me time and money! Brooks Elliott for president 2018!!!Service: Engine repairService: Engine repair

I've been using Brooks for years, he's machined every cylinder head I've ever needed done. Most recently I had him do the valves, guides and seals on my BMW S54 head, he also did a multi-angle valve job on it. I got it back in a few days, looking better than new, and the car dynoed ~328whp... around 10whp higher than similar setups. Couldn't be happier with his service.

Brooks is awesome. Got my head repaired with new valves, guides and seats. He even noticed one of the threaded holes on the outside of the head was stripped. He put in a threaded insert for me. His work is beautifully done couldn't be happier.My car's timing belt slipped and caused all the valves to get bent from hitting the pistons. It's an interference motor.He let me know the valve guides were out of spec and it was likely burning oil, which it was. He also double checked with me about the tolerances he was going to use for the valve job. It's great to hear things like that.Highly recommended.

I'm new to the area and needed to get some heads machined. After some quick Google research, picked this guy because he was on my side of town and had great reviews.Brooks went above and beyond. He took a really ratty pair of heads off of 95 4Runner that had run on a blown head gasket for who knows how long, and turned them into something that looked like they had just come from the factory. He also cleaned up the valves, replaced some that were beyond help and set the clearances.He had the heads done on time and for a fraction of what it would take to get it done at a dealership or some name brand auto mechanics shop.His shop is clean and well maintained. He always returned my phone calls and texts promptly.I will definitely be returning for any other machine work that I may need.

This is the first time I have had a head redone and I was going to just get any old shop to do it. Then Brooks took the time to show me the valve stems were loose and one of the valves was stepped instead of sloped and the valve seats were smashed in.Since I track this Miata and it has the much sought after 1999 BP4W head, I replaced the valves, springs and valve guides.Very knowledgeable with over 35 years experience. If you want it done right, go to Brooks, if any old rebuild will do then go to Autozone.Brooks has a waiting list which speaks volumes.

I have worked with Brooks both professionally and personally over the last two decades and I know when I have him work for a customer's job or for me personally that I am getting the best possible work in town, and probably anywhere. He knows his profession, and I would recommend his work to anyone.KMM

Brooks has handled all of my automotive shop's cylinder head needs for over 10 years. We count on Brooks to deliver top notch quality and he's never let us down.

The owner of this place flat out refused to do a pressure test on my dt466 cylinder head. Saying he didn't want to work that hard. To me this strongly reflects on the quality of work his customers receive. Just keep this in mind guys.

Brooks Elliott is the best! I would not go anywhere else for cylinder head work. Shop is clean and well organized. Heads comeback perfect - in plastic bags.

Awesome work, I got my cylinder head back in 2 days and it came back very clean, flat and the valves were adjusted perfectly. My honda sounds like it's new again and got another 1 mpg back

They do excellent work. The only negative thing I can say is. It takes awhile to get your parts back. Due to how busy and how good they are.
