This rating is based on customer reviews, inventory size, pricing, and service quality
Reviews for Automotive Parts & Machine in Frederick, MD skew positive but not flawless: many praise knowledgeable staff (notably Dave/Nick), fast turnaround on heads, rotors, and flywheels, and fair pricing. However, several 1-star posts cite long delays, communication gaps, and serious workmanship/cleanliness issues on hydraulic and engine parts, raising quality-control concerns. Little info on inventory/yard or parts-finding. Overall: strong results for many, but consistency varies and service can be hit-or-miss. Score: 82/100.
What clients say about Automotive Parts & Machine in Frederick (MD)
Got my cylinder head milled flat here. They also performed pressure tests. Going to test it after putting everything together, but overall, it only took 2 days for everything! (Expected a week)
They attempted to repair a broken fitting on a hydraulic cylinder. The welded on fitting was 30 degrees off and they took no precautions to protect the inside from getting metal shavings. I had to get them to reweld the fitting straight and clean the cylinder. They never cleaned anything and I had the cylinder split at another shop to find it full of metal shavings which would have done catastrophic damage to the cylinder and the hydraulic system had it been reconnected as it was returned. The manager has little or no control of what's being done to customer's equipment and had no problems covering for their employees' mistakes.
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. I’m sure they’ve done some good work, but this definitely wasn’t one of those times, unfortunately.
I had a great experience with these guys at this shop. Those guy's did a wonderful job I would recommend them to everyone out there. I took my car rotors in and they get it back to me as quick as possible and it work perfectly on my SUV thank you very much.
Dave & Nick always take care of us no questions ask. fast work isn't always good but these guys give us quality and fast work all the time. thank you for all you hard work!
