Kenyon Machine

Greg has the best rates from San Diego to Yuma, Arizona.
I am a car enthusiast and have searched far and wide for a decent mechanic.
Kenyon does it all, from welding to engine work, electrical wiring, and dumpster diving for spare parts and sourcing and to top it off they do body work and use high quality parts.
Thanks Kenyon machine!

Awesome people always help me out when I have a problem would definitely recommend them to anyone.

A great old school machine shop,

I use Kenyon a lot for their auto machine shop services and feel Greg and the crew are about as good as a machine shop can get. After reading some of the negative reviews on here I feel like I need to put in my two cents. Iv’e worked with these guys on countless projects and have always had great results. I think when it comes to what these guys are doing (taking an old piece of machinery and bringing it back to life so it can be used again) there are some quite obvious but overlooked details. First off, Greg and the guys REALLY know what they are talking about. If you go to this place and start asking a bunch of smart aleck questions with an attitude without even having them take a look or giving them details, just like any other shop, you might get back the same kind of answer. But the fact of the matter is, when doing machine work, a lot of the time there are a ton of variables that a consumer may not even consider that really can’t be seen until something is taken apart, meticulously analyzed and checked. These guys are no B.S., straight to the point, fair and very knowledgable. After all, this is machine work, I don’t know what some people who have left negative feedback on here expect. These guys have been taking engines apart for longer then a lot of people working on cars have been alive, and it’s not like this stuff is easy. Another thing to mention is I’ve had some really negative experiences with some other «highly rated» machine shops I’ve found on the internet here in San Diego, only to have left feeling like I got badly ripped off. Every time I’ve ever been to these guys, I feel like they have been super honest, straightforward, and very fair with pricing. If you are in Mission Beach, PB, La Jolla or the Mission Bay area, this is the only place I would think about!

I don’t recommend going to get any machine work done at this place, first I called them and ask for a price over the phone for a valve job, cylinder resurface and pressure check, the price seem reasonable so I took it there. Then, they called me and the price changed, I argued with them a little but considered it had to get done. Later with no update on cylinder, I called and they had some other issues that came up, and it was going to cost me another 200 dollars for them to repair. After this I went down there and paid for what they done and took my cylinder to a different machine shop. At this other place I told them what had got done on the cylinder from the other shop and was there because I felt Kenyon Machine was shady. He said I was the fourth person to show up just recently and this is why he getting more work. Also, he question the work that I said got done on my cylinder and showed me what it should look like with his. So remember there are people out there that are looking for a quick buck, especially if you don’t know much about engines. Trust me don’t go to this place, unless you want to give your money away!

Called in to say hello and check on some pricing and the guy was a complete jerk on the phone! It’s called customer service! So blunt and rude. No sense of humor at all! Why would I want to give you my money? No business from me!

Guys ripped me off pretty bad had a cylinder I asked if it was usable with my piston they called me told me it was ready I went there they didn’t even touch it yet they call me the next day tell me it isn’t usable I show up they repaired a flange on it even though it wasn’t usable and charged me 150 for a piece of useless metal so I can get my new piston back everyone that works here has a serious attitude problem and and are hurting so bad for money they had to to rip me off I am filling a claim with better business bureau hope to hear from you guys soon ! I called and was professional offering them to handle this with out getting bbb involved. I got yelled at and hung up on very classy act here recommend this place to your enemies

Greg is a class act. The shop appearance might give you a concerned at first appearance but have no worries. They care about their customers, seem to be very knowledgable, and take time to confirm work and explain what they are doing. Even took time to answer questions I had about other automotive and engine building questions.
