Abacus Racing & Machine Service

Chuck and the team here are great. Their knowledge is very impressive and are great at guiding you through the process. I had loads of questions about my little 4 cylinder engine and they answered them all. They even quick turned my head when I discovered it was warped. Had it back in two days. Great pricing. I will use them again of I'm ever back in the area.

Owners of 1980-1990's "modern classic" Ferraris who reside in or around the Richmond area live is a sort of Ferrari service desert. For no specialized independent shops in Richmond are recommended by the resident Ferrari community, the usual course of action is to take their car for maintenance to the Washington DC area - or beyond. And that's what I was doing too, until I decided to give Rob and the crew at Abacus Racing a try.

I am glad I did: the "engine out" maintenance service on my car was done right and at the right price, given the complexity of the job. Not only, but communication was good (it's a busy shop but Rob is always easily reachable) during the entire process and, having driven my car for a full two months now since being serviced I can say that Rob and his crew crossed and the "T"'s and dotted all the "I''s.

No issues cropped up following the engine-out service (no mystery noises, no weird or unexpected quirks, etc.) and, among other things, my seat-of-the-pants dyno tells me the engine was timed just right. Thank you Rob, Tim and whoever else worked on this maintenance project for a job well done: I will gladly see you again when the need arises.

The machine shop does absolute top and work. We had a small hiccup that was addressed and a stand behind their work entirely would not hesitate to bring any other work to them

Great place for performance, and expert in foreign car. They also dyno cars

The only place I take my Jaguar Ron is very thorough and polite! He doesn't hit you over the head. very fare pricing!

Abacus is a great find for your automotive restoration needs. I have a '65 Mustang that needed a new wiring harness after 54 years. Chuck and the team knocked it out in a few weeks, added some modern lights, and made it all look absolutely clean throughout. Their quality is tempting me to buy another restomod project and let the Abacus team have at it.

Rob and staff was very accommodating, and worked well with my busy schedule. They were friendly, punctual, and went above and beyond the job. I was able to pick my SUV up after hours. I dropped it off to get tires put on, and picked up a freshly cleaned car with all my brake dust wiped away. Would highly recommend! Thank you Abacus!

Chuck does top notch machine work, and both he and Rob provide outstanding work and customer support. I've come to Abacus for machine work and Dyno tuning for years and have always been treated well by them. Very fair pricing as well. Thanks guys!

Took some 4.6 4v heads there after other shops couldnt get them right.beautiful job was done and they stand behind their work.

I dealt with the machine shop on 2 occasions and it has been very professional and the work is second to none. I had my Subaru motor assembled and the heads worked and it was very well done. Call and ask for Chuck, you won't be sorry.

I've been using Abacus for over 20 years for all of my machine work as well as some restoration work on my Triumph. They do tremendous work and their attention to details is superb. There is no other machine shop locally that I would trust my vehicles with. Simply put, these guys know what they are doing and do it right every time.

This race shop does awesome work. My 04 Land Rover runs like new and they never push sales tactics on you. They are upfront with cost and they communicate all possible outcomes and factors when fixing your car and or SUV. I will continue to take my SUV there for any future work.
