American Import Engines

I called left a message Frank called me back he couldn't help me but took the time to give me his advise even though he wasn't going to profit very cool thanks Frank. I will definitely call back Robert.

Frank's turnaround time is fast, however his vendors are not. Buy the parts you need replacing and bring it in or else you'll be waiting forever.

Great shop with years of experience! Company name says it all, I got their big bore kit for my CRF230F and it's everything and more of what I wanted. Frank has long history of racing experience as a racer and in the pits so I knew this place is trustworthy!

Frank is everyone's guru when it comes to bikes. XR100's especially. Tune, repair, custom exhaust and big bore kits. He is the only guy in town we trust to work on our dirt bikes when we want it done right, the first time.

I took my 2003 Chevy Silverado in to A&I to have the engine overhauled or replaced. Joe was very upfront about the options and costs. I wanted to use the existing block and heads because I had determined that was preferable to installing a new crate motor. Joe advised that my selected course of action could involve some continuing adjustments for the ancillary equipment to accommodate the overhauled engine.

After a break-in period and addressing a couple of minor issues (at no cost to me) my truck is running better than when it was new. Gas mileage is improved, the engine runs at lower RPM, and I am a happy customer. A&I has provided great guidance, solid customer service, and follow-on. I am confident that my truck will provide great service for another 15 years.

We took our 2001 chysler van in to have the engine rebuilt. The job they did was great and cost was very fair$5,200. And they rebuilt the transmisson for $1,750 and now i have a great running van once again for a fraction of the price of a new one. We have always kept this vehicle looking like new so the work was a no brainer. They did however miss a loose motor mount.

Took my vehicle to American & Import Engines that no other shop could figure out why it would just not take off maybe one a week. Joe had to drive it for 2 weeks to figure out the cause and he nailed it with minimal cost. Great shop.

Worst engine builders. Think twice. $5500 for a motor that blows as much oil as when I brought it in for a rebuild. Go back to school please! Lying sacks of shit.

What a disaster! Over charged for work not actually performed. Caught them red handed at more than one occasion. They think their the only shop in town so they can do what they want on machine shop pricing. I recommend you srnd your motor off and get it built right the first time with no headache.

Do not take your motor here to be repaired unless u have lots of time, ,w as quoted 1 week and it has been 4. maybe next week i was told. if you don't have the time just let me know. fair and honest easy as that don't take on more than you can do, and then do bad work. just make sure as a customer that you have enough time even for a simple ford. good luck if you use these guys. heads up

This is a premium machine shop, and highly recommended. The same guy who I talked to on the phone also did the machine work, and I was a little worried when I came in and he wasn't taking notes on my requirements. But when I got the block back, it was decked, and bored & honed exactly how I asked, and I mean within a few tenths (.0002). In disbelief, I measured it again the next day to make sure I wasn't seeing things, because to get all the bores that close is a stroke of luck.

They must have new machines or keep them very maintained, because I am beyond satisfied with the clearances they cut. Not to mention, the internal parts were cheaper than online, and they even helped me press in some piston pins on short notice at no charge. Long story short, these guys are awesome.

They don't guarantee their work they overcharge for there work that they say was done but was never really done Will never use them again we now have to have the motor rebuilt because of them wish I didn't have to give them a star.

Traveling through Redding our Check Engine light went on and we were stuck. It was 6 pm and shops were closed. Not knowing what the problem was and then not knowing any auto repair shops that would be willing to take a look and repair the same day, needless to say we were a little stressed. We spent the night at a hotel and started calling shops in the morning.

After all our calls resulted in "No, we can't help you", American & Import Engines had us come right over. It was close to the hotel and we drove over. It ended up being a spark plug issue, nothing too serious. Bottom line is they were willing to help us out and had us in and out within 3 hrs. We drove home and were so very thankful for the folks at American & Import Engines. Would highly recommend them to anyone in the Redding area.

My teenage daughter recently took her Toyota Pick-Up for a swim while out four wheeling with the big boys. After submerging her truck in several feet of water, then driving it, her engine stopped working. Well, we found out that she had sucked water into the intake of her motor, and surprise, surprise, her engine locked up and quit. We took the engine to A&I in Redding for a rebuild The manager, Joe was very helpful in giving us options on replacing or rebuilding the motor.

We opted to rebuild her engine. So far, it seems like they did an awesome job on the rebuild. Hell, the motor looks brand new, and came with a 12K warranty. The head was also damaged, and A&I replaced the head at a reasonable cost delivering a new long block and head after only four days. As long as they stand by their warranty, I am a huge fan of A&I Import Engines.

We have had good luck so far, and hope that things continue to run smoothly. My daughter learned a very expensive lesson about treating your vehicle right, and not 4 wheeling with your only mode of transportation.
