Heys guys I’m Marco and I recently just had my cylinder heads both resurfaced as well as my Engine block and also had it bored out on each cylinder and had 2 sleeves replaced. I drove all the way from Laredo and man I’m glad I did. Everything came out phenomenal and I’d recommend this to anyone looking to also have anything of theirs resurfaced or worked on! Great customer service and worth the money! The pictures speak for themselves….

Rick helped me out on the price and did an amazing job on my motorcycle engine. Got it done the same day. Very pleased doing business with him.

BEWARE! Read my experience. Warning: Avoid RMS Machine Shop 1830 Alametos, San Antonio I brought my car to RMS Machine Shop for engine repairs head gaskets. Ricardo Luna, the owner, quoted me \$600 for a water pump and timing belt kit, which I paid via Zelle while bedridden. He said the job would be done the next day, but after receiving my payment, he asked for another \$1,000, claiming the total cost was \$3,000 and needed half up front. I agreed but later tried to send the money, only for Zelle to block the payment with a scam warning. After looking up reviews, I saw numerous complaints about him taking money upfront and not completing the work. I decided to cancel and just pick up my car, but Ricardo claimed he hadn’t installed the water pump and kept the \$600. He also charged me for unapproved head work, changing his story multiple times. When I went to pick up the car, he demanded \$1,600 for release, refused to give an itemized receipt, and insisted on cash at the bank. I called the police, but he still wouldn’t release the car without payment. Next Steps: Got it!
