Our Story, Our Passion

Built on grease, grit, and a love for what motors can do

Engine rebuild work

How We Got Here

Look, we didn't start with some fancy business plan or investors throwing money at us. Just a couple of gearheads who couldn't stand seeing good engines getting butchered by folks who didn't care.

What began in a cramped two-bay shop has turned into something we're genuinely proud of. We've torn down more engines than we can count, brought back classics that other shops said were done for, and yeah... we've learned a ton along the way - sometimes the hard way.

Every car that rolls through our doors gets the same treatment we'd give our own rides. That's not marketing talk, that's just how we operate. You can't fake passion for this stuff, and honestly, we wouldn't want to.

The Journey So Far

2018 - The Beginning

Started in a tiny shop with more ambition than square footage. Two lifts, basic tools, and a dream to do engine work the right way. Our first rebuild was a '69 Camaro small-block that'd been sitting in a barn for 15 years.

2019 - Word Spreads

That Camaro got featured at a local show and suddenly our phone wouldn't stop ringing. Added another bay and brought on Jake, who's got magic hands with carburetors. Started getting into more classic restorations.

2021 - Level Up

Moved to our current spot on Industrial Way. Six bays, proper equipment, and enough space to do things right. Got our ASE Master Technician certification and started diving deep into performance tuning and custom exhaust fabrication.

2023 - Growing the Crew

Team expanded to eight specialists. Each one brings something different - from old-school carb tuning to modern EFI systems. Started handling more complex transmission rebuilds and full frame-off restorations. Pretty wild to see how far we've come.

2025 - Present Day

Still doing what we love, just on a bigger scale. We've completed over 300 major rebuilds and restorations. The shop's humming, the team's tight, and we're tackling projects that would've scared us silly back in 2018. And yeah, we're still learning every single day.

What Drives Us

Every engine's got a story, every classic deserves respect, and every customer should walk out knowing their ride's in better shape than when it came in. That's the standard we hold ourselves to.
