  I took a set of heads to be rebuilt and was told 10 days. 4 days later they called and said they were ready to be picked up. Went and picked up and took them to my Mechanic to install just to find out these were not my heads I brought in to be rebuilt. My mechanic call me to inform me there was a busted stud in 1 of the heads which my heads came off clean. After calling Richard’s they couldn’t believe that there was anything wrong and it was impossible that they could have missed a busted stud. My mechanic had to redo his work and I had to pay extra $ because of their lack of quality control. Make sure you get back what you took in unless you don’t care and they didn’t offer any kind of help with the additional time I had to pay my mechanic to redo his work.

  Been going to Richard’s for a few years now.I have nothing but good things to say about JR,Kevin and the others that work in the shop.Recently I pulled my big block out of my chevelle and handed it to JR and boy did he deliver.motor looks amazing and clean,very nice rebuild with some goodies done to it.no metal shavings from machine work.Pure workmanship from these guys.Only thing which didn’t bother me at all was if you drop something off to have work done just be patient and let them do there thing.yes it might take a couple weeks to get your item back or a couple months to get your fully rebuilt long/short block back but rest assure it will be better than the day it was built.Again thank you JR and staff for knocking a home run on this build and as long as your still in business and JR is kicking I will always use Richard’s for my mechine work A++++

  I used these guys over a year ago finally got everything back together as of today, I start pouring coolant in and there was a freeze plug missing on the side of the head tiny little guy on my ls heads but before all this I had gotten a short block and heads done that took 3 months and many phone calls and the threat of taking my work back and then I let them continue with the promise of asap and a week later I return for them to give me the wrong block and heads back then about a week later they hand deliver my block and heads to me at home due to my request of them making this process so painful for me to just have an other issue at the end of it all I’ll never return to this place
