They built me a 5.7 Chevy motor back in 2000 have over 150,000 miles on it and still runs like new .!!

I would not suggest taking or recieving motors to this shop. We originally got a 6.0 short block from him, drove to pick it up, got it home and the cylinder wall had a huge ring(scar) in it. They came down picked it up and restarted, and compensated with head studs and delivering it back to us. After that the crank bolts threads were stripped and we were supposed to recieve a tool to get it fixed and never did. We had also requested a write up of what was done both times we received motors as well as multiple times after we had the motor. We installed the motor and did not have oil pressure. When we took it in to another shop here in Wichita, we were told the pistons were used, rods had heat wear on them, and all of the bearings internally were trash. The clearance was not measured properly and we are now having to get the motor re done. Upon us posting a review on facebook about the business, we had some conversation, then the page was deleted. I proceeded to call and was told that if we would have ordered a long block instead (more expansive), we would not have had an issue, and that since they delivered the motor back in October they just don't know what we could have done to it and that Jerry would not do anything for us now being out additional money due to the errors made while assembling the motor. (Any car person knows you have to wait on part and those parts are expansive, and noone is made of money).The guy I was speaking with also told me that "he can tell who wears the pants in my relationship, and when my boyfriend can put his big boy pants on to have him call" and he proceeded to hang up on me mid sentence of me telling him that my boyfriend would talk to him right now and that i would still like the write up. We then tried to call him back so my boyfriend could talk to him about whatever the guy needed to talk to him about and the guy did not answer the phone.


So, unless you want to have the work redone, and deal with poor customer service, I wouldn't go to this shop....

If you're going to take anything to have Jerry work on don't plan on picking it up anytime soon or getting it back soon! Dropped some stuff off for him to fix and it took 4 months to get it back and I liked to NEVER got it back when I did. Doesn't answer text messages or phone calls and when he does you get some story about how he's been busy or sick or blah blah blah. When I got the parts back from him that he was supposed to fix I ended up taking them to another shop in Tulsa because he didn't do what he said he was going to do!!!!
