This place is super cool. Just had a water pump rebuilt for an old yanmar grey market excavator. I searched for weeks for a new one and couldn't find it. I brought in our old one on a Monday and these guys had it done by Friday. Lisa and the whole staff were great to work with, they know their stuff.

Team really went above and beyond for me this week! I am so thankful to have cold air again. Price was beyond reasonable, the service was amazing, and I will definitely be back.

This business is a class act. The owner is older and has a very deep skill level for almost any challenge you can bring him. They take orders from all over the world for automotive water pumps and clutches from cars you have never heard of. I brought in a water pump from an antique Dodge motorhome and it was rebuilt, cleaned and repaired with skill. I highly recommend this business especially for anybody needing rebuild of very rare and unusual makes and models. They employ family for front desk staff and they all work well together and are very helpful. I highly recommend this business.

Today I picked up a water pump for a 1955 Buick special, it took a little longer than expected, according to them it was due to them hiring a new guy to rebuild water pumps, that's fine with me, I could care less how long it takes within reason, this is for my weekend car, not my daily driver. They do old car parts for stuff no longer in production, not stuff you buy off the shelf at Napa for your late model daily driver.

The pump was beautifully restored, it looked like it just came fresh from the factory, they included the proper gasket which made reinstallation easy and all this for way
