Allied Industrial Machine Services in
West Falls Church (VA)

Very friendly very knowledgeable and they exude yeara of experience. Go to them if you need anything done. I'd trust them with any of my vehicles parts any day.

Took a couple of cylinder heads in to be planed. Quick and professional job. Jim also tested the lapping work I had done on the valves for me. I recommend them.

I was working on a hard problem and Jim helped me with some great advice.

They baited me in there saying they could take care of what I needed right away. All I wanted was a hole drilled in a piece of thicker metal. When I drove there they then said it would take a few days and cost over $350, and they were very rude doing so. They could have told me that on the phone but they were dishonest and wasted my time. I ended up getting it done at a gas station for $20. Glad I didn't let these people rip me off.

Jim in there kicks butt. Makes it happen for people. Higgly recommended. Thank you sir!

Needed to grind down part of the foregrip for one of my "toys" since it stuck out past the handguard a bit. In and out in 5 minutes.

This shop was amazing. I was worried since it was my first time having a cylinder head worked on but they explained the process and the turn around was quick. Car runs good and the machine work was perfect and couldn't be any better. Thanks again!

These guys are great. I needed to have a pipe fitting fixed on our hot liquor tank in the brewery I ran in quick order, and they did it before I had to suspend brewing.

Quality work and quality service. Highly Recommend.

Been using these guys for years. ALL THE TALENT HAS GONE. New owner is in over his head technically and has a bad attitude to boot. We miss Jim, Russ and Danny. Wait for the bankruptcy.

Great place run by great people! Jim (the guy who runs the place) is very knowledgeable and helping.

Allied Industrial Machine rebuilt the head on my son's E30 BMW last year after a broken timing belt mangled it. They were recommended by the local BMW shop. Not an inexpensive job, but they were reasonably priced, friendly and honest, and did great work. After my son and I spent a significant amount of "bonding time" putting the engine back together, it runs better than ever! I was under the impression Allied was going to close up shop, but I hope that's not the case. They did great work for us.

Fantastic shop! I needed a shoulder turned down for a mount I have. They were able to do it while I waited at a reasonable cost. Super nice staff and super helpful. We are lucky to have this level of machine shop in the area.

Great local machine shop! Took our customers inline 6 cylinder head for machining and they got it done the same day! Prices are very reasonable as well. Thanks guys!

This Machine Shop is one of the Best Machine Shops in the DC/MD/VA Area... it might just be the best! They do PROFESSIONAL work at very Reasonable Prices! The Owner Himself is very down to earth Guy! I would recommend this Machine Shop to anyone looking for an Automotive Performance oriented Machine Shop! I took my Cylinder Head off of a Ford 5.4L V8 there because the threads to a Spark Plug port went bad and they fixed it quickly and did an excellent Job! A++++++

I've been going to Russell's shop for almost 10 years. He's always been up front about his shop's capabilities, delivered on-time, and at a reasonable rate.

It's a great engine shop. Russell the owner is great, this is the second trip we took a cylinder head to his shop. He did such a great job on the first one that when we needed to have our second one worked on, we took it to his shop without a second thought. Great work, timely return and reasonable prices.

Helpful, reasonable, thorough, and fast. What more can you ask for with a machine shop?

Great team and great knowledge. Fast turnaround.

I've been to this shop a half dozen times in the course of restoring my antique chevy, and they've always been amazing to work with and learn from. They've done perfect work, every time. Rates are very reasonable. Very lucky to have them in the area. Thanks Russell and Danny for all the help!

Great guys at this shop. Years of experience and very helpful. Had some custom work done on two motorcycle wheels, which is not their main business, but they just wanted to help. When I went back with a need to fabricate a custom bracket, they offered to give me a piece of scrap aluminum for free. Little things make difference. Nice to have a local shop that cares!

Rebuilt the heads on my ‘03 BMW X5 4.6is V-8 and the engine performs like new. Very high quality and workmanship that is becoming more rare to find. Don’t even look anywhere else - they are worth every penny you’ll pay. A prior shop jacked up my engine block by incorrectly fitting a Helacoil that caused a consistent coolant leak. Russ was able to remedy the problem with the block at a very reasonable rate compared to the replacement cost for a used block. Any BMW car club member should look to these guys first - before looking anywhere else

Courteous and professional assistance provided for a unique job. I would highly recommend this business to anyone needing these services.

Russell welded an aluminum coolant housing for half of what I was quoted by Dixie Sheet Metal literally just around the corner. He had it done in under an hour. Go straight here for any aluminum welding needs!

Extremely displeased with this machine shop. I brought the cylinder head from a Yanmar 1gm10 diesel engine to them to have the pre-combustion chamber removed so that I could transfer it to the replacement head. I should have paid more attention to what the worker was doing, but I thought "surely these guys know everything about engines!" the hydraulic press was used in the wrong direction which destroyed the $183 part I was attempting to move onto the replacement head, instead of applying the press in the direction that would have removed the part it was applied to further jam it in which as more pressure was applied broke the part I needed removed. no offer to make it good just an awkward apology. If they had taken the time to examine it carefully or reference a diagram this could have been avoided, instead it went right to the hydraulic press and then the disaster occurred. It appeared to be a well run clean and organized machine shop but I wouldn't bring them complex or complicated jobs requiring attention to detail.

I had some motorcycle axle bushings and spacers made up for a custom 240 wide tire kit made by this shop a couple of years ago. They came out perfect....5 Stars Russell....

They don't back up their work, there are better machine shops in the area.
