Asked for a clean surface on the deck and for them to clean the metal shavings out of my block and clean it when they finished, told me no problem but when I got it back there was debris in all my coolant passages, my cylinders felt like sandpaper and they didn't clean out any of the metal, didn't know until I tried putting in my ARP studs and ruined my block from the stud bottoming out on all of the metal. The metal inside the block from block offs that were installed also had not been cleaned. I was also quoted half the price that I ended up paying. Would not recommend.

Little over 2 years ago I had this place rebuild a 1994 302, and ever sense it has never held any ring, cylinder 1 cylinder 5 and now again the same thing. I paid him over 2 grand for a motor that wont and cant last a 1000 miles, not to mention time and expenses of pulling and reinstalling all fluids ext.. At one time I asked him if he magnafluxed the head and blocks he said he did but on the 2nd rebuild he stated I just might have a bad block, I strongly recommend you do not take anything to this place. And now that I confront him about it again he hangs up the phone and will NOT answer..

Easy to work with explained everything they were going to do. They did an amazing job on my engine. Turn around was perfect. Price was pretty fair for the amount of work they did. I would seriously recommend using these guys for all your engine needs. I know the next motor I tear apart will for sure make it in to this shop. I would give 10 stars if I could. Great job guys my engine looks fantastic. Keep up the great work.

I have used other machine shops and while most are competent, none have had the technical expertise of Mid State. What really impressed me, however, was the dedication and care that was demonstrated in my latest project. The engine was built easily enough, but when it didn’t perform to my expectations on their chassis dyno they worked with me and ended up swapping a few parts out until I was thrilled with the results. The price was very fair and I could tell they genuinely wanted the engine to perform as it should.
