I had them rebuild my Chevy 350, They had it for months after paying a couple grand. Basically paid them for nothing because when I got it back nothing was fixed. Being young and dumb I fell into to their lies about other numerous problems they said I supposedly had. Tony seems nice but it’s a scam artist as far as I’m concerned. Oh yeah they also told me I had a transmission issue after “rebuilding my motor” but when I paid more money for the transmission, I got it back leaking. come to find out the leak was a simple dipstick grommet but they couldnt even take 5 minutes to fix that i guess.

Tony n his Mexican brothers built me a 347 roller sbf from oil pan to top for my 72 maverick, was a beautiful motor n run hard too.

My story starts in 2017. My project had several set backs, including having to switch mechanics due to delays, and numerous items to work on in my punch list. When I first got my motor, the first mechanic, and his female assistant, picked the motor up from TG’s. His staff mocked the assistant, but she put them in their place with her knowledge as she was studying for her master mechanic’s certifications. Unfortunately, after 6 months, I needed to take my truck from that shop and search for another mechanic. This set me back 9 more months. I received word that a mechanic I had worked with in the past was out of retirement and doing side work. He agreed to take on my project. Being a long term thing, he would work on it when he had time. As the months rolled on, many items were repaired, but the motor was not the focus as it had been rebuilt, so he figured there wouldn’t be a problem. He had gotten the motor/trans set up only have an issue with the trans and t-case. Once that was worked out, my mechanic found a horrible imbalance in the motor. As of Aug 5th, 2021, the motor will need to be completely rebuilt a second time. TG’s placed a Chinese flywheel with no information on the motor(I was told it was 100 ounces), and harmonic balancer was overweight, and my paperwork shows that the motor wasn’t even balanced in the shop. If this was out of arrogance or ignorance, I don’t know. What I do know is that I’ve been robbed of approximately $2,400! Had the motor been installed as quickly as I was planning, I would have brought it back. However, this far along, I didn’t bother even contacting the shop as I am sure I would have been laughed at. By the way, the second mechanic I’ve known for over 25 years and the only mechanic I’ve ever really trusted. And the fact that I’m looking down the barrel of spending $2000-3000 unnecessarily really pisses me off… but Tony is a helluva salesman and got my money. My suggestion: stay away!

Have been working with Tony to build a 408. Pleasant to work with, good communication, and a builder that knows the industry. Disregard the reviews about being upset that the build was more expensive. That's how performance engine builds go. You get an initial quote but there's no way to forecast what machine services your block/cylinders need until they get it open. Tony has been the only builder in the region who has been able to meet my timeline. I'll update my review once the engine is done, but I have no issues recommending him to other people who have money to spend on a build today.
