    Default Engine machine shops in Alberta?

    Looking for opinions and reviews of machine shops around Alberta. Car in question had a valve spring break and dropped a valve, will need new pistons (3/4 damaged) and a bore (one cylinder scored). The head may not be saveable, not sure yet but it’s fairly damaged from the valve head going for a catastrophic ride.

    Muscle Motors out near Strathmore gets a lot of praise. Not sure how busy they are though.

    Precise is out of business

    These guys have been getting lots of solid feedback - https://arebuilt.com/

    Gone for a few years now. It's unfortunate for sure.

    Muscle motors did a bunch of work for me, turned out great, but I highly recommend McJay machining. Jeff is a fantastic guy to deal with, he runs the shop himself and builds all sorts of stuff. He did a ton of work on my Mazda blocks. Super good pricing too.

    Well looks like I need to find a shop.

    Got a cylinder head off a j20a suzuki engine that needs a hot tank, valves done and probably resurfacing.

    Went to D&W but felt like I got the "too small of a job" for us vibe.

    Going to try and reach out to Cetus and Muscle but both ignored calls from me before.
