  Took a 1.4 cylinder head in for resurfacing and pressure testing. The service was FANTASTIC! The quality of work surpassed any machine shop I have used in the past and the pricing is awesome considering what you get back! Also I took this in on a Tuesday ( just walked in ) and they had it done in less than a week!! To say the least I am more than impressed with the service and will definitely be a returning customer. THANK YOU!

  Brought in a Honda 1.5T cylinder head to have it checked for flatness/inspection after a head gasket failure. I specifically asked them to inspect the head first and contact me before machining anything unnecessary. Instead of even looking at the head, I was basically told “take it somewhere else.” This isn’t my first bad experience here either. I understand shops have policies and certain jobs they may not want to deal with, but the communication and professionalism were disappointing. A simple explanation would’ve gone a long way instead of dismissing a paying customer immediately. I drove across town with the head loaded up, wasted time loading/unloading everything, and still had to find another machine shop.

  Two different Subaru dealer service departments recommend "Richards" to me. I honed them, was given a quotation. The next day I delivered the heads (2012 Subaru Outback, 2.5i, CVT) and toured their facility-- it's "old school" which to me is GREAT. Very modest building, friendly and obviously talented machinists, I knew I was paying for craftsmanship, not depreciation and expensive rents. The quoted me 7-10 business days but had them done in five. I picked them up today and they are PERFECT, and they did it for the quoted price. I could not me more satisfied.

  I have used them twice. First time I bought a cylinder head off of them that they had already went through and redid. Worked out great with no problems once installed. Second I took a cylinder head in and had them redo it for me. Again no issues. I like helping out family owned businesses. And they definitely treat you better when they are. Keep up the good work. I will use them again and recommend everyone to give them a shot.
