If you go anywhere else to get your carb worked on your nuts. I found chris on google, brought him my carb,i got it back in 1 day & the damn thing is better than new. Not only did he get in done in 1 day wich is normally unheard of cuz they are so busy & sought after, but he also tweaked it a bit for me to get a lil more power out of it. He's a good ole guy, & a carb ninja lol. This is shelby cobra brian from hamilton,& i approve this message!

Avoid this business at all cost! They will not stand behind their work.Your response to this is the perfect example of how you don t stand behind your work. I ve been a loyal customer of yours for years! The one time I bring a carb back after spending thousands of dollars with you then it s my problem!I ve worked on these cars for 35 years. I used filters, I had a brand new fuel tank, brand new fuel line, new filter, racing fuel. Tried the carburetor on 3 different cars after it failed on the first. Then sent me home with a carburetor disassembled! You guys probably could have fixed the issue in 20 minutes but decided to lose a customer instead.Just making sure that other people are aware before spending money with you!

I didn't go there. However, I did call. The gentleman I talked to was very informative and quoted a fair price. When I'm ready to have my vehicles carb rebuilt, it will be here. 1970 Buick Skylark w/800cfm Quadrajet.

I have had 4 different carbs rebuilt by Chris and his team and each one comes back working perfect. If I ever have had any question or concern with anything related to carbs they have been more than helpful and have provided me with extremely useful knowledge. This is the only shop I will use for my carb work, end of story, prices and people!

They rebuilt my Holley 4150 and it has worked perfectly aside from some fine tuning which is to be expected any questions Ive had they have been more than accommodating. I would highly recommend Chris!

Chris has rebuilt two Carbs for me in the past two years, on Two different cars. They were both finished sooner than promised, and for the amount quoted. Both carbs were set perfectly and required no adjustment after reinstalling. Thank you Chris for having a business I can trust!!

Chris is top notch. My 750 E-brock is running better than when it was new. He added springs and some other components, on top of tuning it for my specific motor and now it's perfect.Pricing was very reasonable.He will be getting any and all of my business.

Chris restored a vintage Ford tri power setup for and it was spot on. And I'm picky about peoples work. Looks like it did new and performs even better! I'm sending Chris a 57nt bird carb soon. Can't wait to get it back. Just talk to Chris and you can tell he knows carbs, their issues and how to fix them the right way.

Was very efficient with the service they provide I feel the price budget was a bit steep and the availability where the size of the business needed more workers hired and trained properly definitely more customer service rice inventory maintenance I'll show organization on to where things are part numbers gather correctly as far as verbal and physical National face-to-face they were very polite and generous as and giving information needed and required to know that they were very efficient for the job I needed pricing wasn't horrible by weight the wait time plus the lack of employees and jobs being but further out than a week their prices should have been lower now if they wouldn't have been able to do any type of installed even if it was a double install with three days for the max if you got a single text you got to text her one learning it should only take two two and a half to three tops and that's with properly doing it for attacking things cleaning up the mess and properly going over instructions in guidelines with the owner of the residence

Do not use. I took a carb to get rebuilt. Guy said he couldn't do it. Ordered be a new one. When wait Itcame in he just handed it bato sme and didn't even set it up. I could have just do e that on Amazon. guy was a jerk in the shop. I had to take it to get rebuilt by another shop. Do not use.So the rebuild shop told me the carb from Chris's shop was so cheep it could not be fixed......yes this is the new one that I paid 200 bucks for. They recommended rebuilding the old one that Chris's shop said could not be rebuilt. There you go. Beware. And I had to ask specifically for my old one from Chris shop. My old one new costs 500 bucks new from the dealer. Makes you wonder. Decide for yourself.

Chris is half redneck, 100% hotrodder, and it's perfect. He is a straight shooter, no BSer. Incredibly friendly and helpful over the phone, and if you don't know anything about carburetors he will still think no less of you. I sent him my Holley 600 from MI, the rebuild took just 5 days and then he sent it back. Very affordable and the work was incredible. My carb just felt 'tight' and 'new' when I got it back, and it is incredibly responsive. Chris's rebuilds aren't just a tear down, clean, and replace the gasket. He upgrades the weak OE components, machines warped surfaces if necessary, and grinds down bolt heads for better flow. I'd give him 6 stars if this site would let me.

This place does excellent work and would highly recommend any day of the year. They have done 2 carb jobs for me and I wouldn t have anyone else do it. I ll be a repeat customer for life.

Took carburetor off boat for a accelerator pump problem that they had rebuilt a year ago . They took carb apart and did another complete rebuild. Worked fine on there motor stand when I installed it on 3.0 mercury cruiser and put it in water it would barely start looked in carb it was pouring gas into engine . Called them about float setting being to high he got obnoxious and rude like they the only one s that know about carbs took it back and dude wanted to fight saying it was fuel pump problem ck pump had 6 lbs pressure what booked called for took carb back off for the 4th time put it on my bench took apart myself and set float to proper setting re installed and wow just as I expected float was set to high . I could tell ya he didn t like me calling him out float issues saying that it wasn t his first carb rebuild and was throwing tools cussing me wanted too fight. I would not recommend there shop for a lawnmower carburetor rebuild needs a course on anger management and customer relations

Great shop and the guys are very knowledgeable. They can do about anything and test all carbs before shipping or pickup. If you are in the market for a carb, building a special setup for your street rod or a rebuild on your old carb and do not use these guys your wasting your money.

Just got my 2 carbs back from Chris for my Hudson. They look great. Chris will restore them to show room condition or just for a driver. Great experience

Totally rude over the phone . Hung up on us. Kept saying "hang on Hang on." Maybe if you turned down the music in your shop youd be able to hear !
