Integrity and Quality
"More projects with Clay at Joe's Engine Shop. Had the infamous valve seat drop situation on my 2001 Jeep 4.7 liter, seat ran through the engine and put a beating on it. I bought quality parts and had Clay's team rebuild the bottom end. Awesome! Ran into some funding issues and went with an online source for cylinder heads, to get the vehicle finished. HUUUGGGGE mistake! Should have waited. The difference, in hide, site was not substantial. The replacement heads (not Clay's work) dropped a valve seat at 9000 miles. Caught it before it broke loose completely, pulled heads, brought them to Clay. Turns out the heads I had purchased never should have been rebuilt in the first place. They were grossly undersized, machined way below minimum spec and had already had valve seats replaced at least once and poorly done. Clay is looking at my original mangled heads to see if they can be saved. Clay also saved my bacon on a Mini Cooper head that dropped a valve seat. A lot of folks don't like working on these, but Clay took good care of me and made it so that my friend could keep his vehicle. With a shop like Joe's Machine Shop near by, the engine rebuild jobs are starting to stack up."

"I just dropped my motor off for a rebuild. My dealings with Clay have been fantastic. After a few brief conversations, he knew exactly what I wanted out of the motor and what parts he would use to get the desired results and never once tried to upsell. His customer service is top notch! Really looking forward to seeing the finished product!"

"I've known Clay Twigg for close to forty years; he does excellent work and treats everyone with professionalism very seldom seen today in any business. Just dropped off an early Hemi engine to him today and can't wait to see the results."

"Wow, the service here is incredible! Now I know nothing of engines, my husband was working on our boat engine and I was tasked with picking up some parts from Joes engine shop. The guy at the front desk was amazing, he was helpful and extremely flexible with my requests. He answered all questions and even helped weeks later when we called with an issue. I will never go to another shop, keep up the good work guys!! Thanks a ton!"
