    Who's had a good experience with a machine shop that you aren't affiliated with (no bias)?
    What work did you have done and how much did they charge?

    They do good work. I had them rebuild my Subaru heads, all 16 valves were bent so it was a little pricey. The new lead/owner Chad is pretty good, I dealt more with the last owner though, he's still around in a more part-time capacity.
