Gilbert Engine Rebuilds

Dropped off a pair of heads from my Honda. Timing belt had broke so I didn't know what damage there was so I took them here for a clean and inspection. I dropped them of Thursday afternoon and the guy at the counter said I would hear back from them by Friday afternoon. Well I didn't hear from them till Tuesday. I was in a hurry to get these back so I could do the job labor day weekend. They were in no hurry.First they told me that 3 valves had made contact but they were ok. Then they told me they were going to deck the heads and reassemble them. No explanation on why they needed decked. Never even told me how much they were out of spec. Then when they reassemble them they found the 3 valves were bad not good and had to order them. So I had to wait till after labor day. Waited till Wednesday afternoon of the next week to tell me they were done. So almost 2 weeks at this point. They charged me full price and more for the head gasket kit than you can get at the store off the shelf. Disappointed all around and they never even tried to make it right for messing up in the first place. Will not return or recommend them.

this place is a godsend! i’m never pressing a bearing again as long as i live. very fair pricing, honest and friendly staff, and perfect workmanship!

Amazing shop, I needed to get my 388 heads resurfaced and I needed to get the valves cleaned and re seated. they we so extremely helpful and even checked all the threads on the heads for strips.(they were aluminum) highly recommend getting anything done there if they offer a service for it. good price, fast work, amazing people.

Came to Stamps to get some bushings and ball joints installed on a set of control arms off of a 1990 mustang. They did the job quickly for a fair price and were very friendly. Having done this sort of thing before with a c-clamp and socket wrench/impact, I'm certainly glad that they saved me from that headache. I'll certainly be back!

Jake is the nicest person was so very helpful

5 Stars and my thanks to John, David, Justin and the rest of the crew. Great work restoring my vintage engine, drive line and miscellaneous machining. They took care of every little detail and I am proud to refer them to anyone needing a great shop with such expertise. How refreshing to have met great people of such integrity and knowledge. Answered every question I had. Kudos, guys- you are valuable to the auto community. Keep up the great work!

I came to John with a big project and he had no problem taking it on. I had a Jeep that someone else did an engine swap on. I did not have the tools to pull the engine or put it in, and John and his team did it for me without hesitation. He was honest and transparent with me throughout the whole thing. He even allowed me to come take pictures of the car during the process (things other shops do not normally let you do) I have the car back now and it runs better than I hoped. 10/10 would recommend him and I will definitely use him again for other projects.
