Ted’s Automotive Machine Inc

Greatest experience I have ever had with a machine shop. Professional and courteous, deadlines met, and quality that lasts. I will be going back as soon as I find an excuse to get another project going. Well worth the price, you get more than you pay for.

Great shop to work with. For machine work they tell you what their capabilities are and how much it could cost. If you’re a car guy who needs machine work this is the place to go. Very friendly and accommodating.

Wish I could give less than one star!
First, back in July, I dropped an engine block to get decked and cam bearings installed and they asked if it was a rush job. (Maybe that’s where I went wrong) I said no, and the guy (can’t remember his name) said that it would be done in a few days.
My parents were here on vacation, so it was pushed to the back of my mind. two weeks later, I still hadn’t gotten a call, so i call them up to see what was taking so long. They tell me that it was put to the side and that they had been swamped then tell me that it’ll be done by noon the next day. I call back at 1pm the next day and the cam bearing install still hadn’t been done. I was told that the one person that does cam bearings was at lunch and it would be done by 3pm.
I go to pick up the block after they call me that it’s done. After I get home, I realize that the hot tank hadn’t been done and that the cam bearings had scratches and dents. They looked like that ones I wanted replaced. i call them back to tell them that the bearings look terrible and I get told that that’s the way they are supposed to look.
Fast forward to yesterday (2÷26÷13), I take my car in to get the engine checked out. Today I go to my mechanic and he has the entire engine disassembled and points out that the #6 cylinder wall is cracked forcing him to replace the block. Had Ted’s Automotive actually done a good job, they would have notice the crack and notified me.
Rather than not make the $ 320 that it cost me to have the work done, they just let it slide and now I have to replace the block costing at least twice that much.
Please do yourself a favor and do not go to Ted’s Automotive Machine Shop! Your bank account will thank you.

Go see Craig, he’s very helpful and friendly. You don’t really have a choice tho, since he’s the owner.
They have a wide array of automotive products and do an awesome job with their machine work.
From flywheel resurfacing, cylinder head work, block work, crankshaft grinding, crank balancing work (the only place in Hawaii that can balance Harley and V-​twin), engine blueprinting, custom racing machine work, cylinder head porting and flowing, custom machine work, welding repair and fabrication, and other related services, you’d be a fool if you go somewhere else.
