Beware. I dropped off a two-cylinder motorcycle cylinder and pistons for a boring job midsummer. Called twice, each time said they would be starting on it the next week. They finally called me almost 2 months after I dropped it off and said their machinist spun a sleeve in one cylinder and if I could get a new sleeve they could install it and get me on my way for $530! My jaw dropped. I asked about getting it as it is and I was told they had about $100 of time in it. Not wasting any more time on this business. Im sure theyve done some good work, but this definitely wasnt one of those times
