Great machine shop to work with. I wanted to do a BBK on my vehicle on the cheap so I needed new wheels. I was able to score bigger wheels for cheap but the hub bore size needed to be enlarged as well as the rotors out of a GT500.

Area auto parts has been in business for a long time, so they should know better than to be completely rude and disgusting on the phone. The lady that answered was vulgar, rude and ridiculously arrogant for no reason. I am sorry that you had a bad day, but do not take it out on people asking questions about your business. If you do not want phone calls, then make a a website. It is 2021, those that do not have a website are not worth your time. Based on the lack of customer service I received, this is not a place I would suggest getting any work done or even wasting your time calling and defiantly not a business partner.

Not the cheapest, not the most expensive, but definitely the absolute best quality.

A friend had a 454 rebuilt with performance upgrades, one being a Thumper cam. Im the small shop that did the install. They provided the instructions for cam break in, 20-30 minutes after starting at 2000 to 2500 rpm. The engine started right up, ran as instructed, had to stop because electric pump quit, but quickly fix and finished. Expensive at $4k but sweet. Needed a stall converter because at idle shift into gear the tires chirp just once.

I had gone to area machine shop after bad experience with another shop. I had taken the original motor out of 1956 Chevy. Rick did a fantastic job of not only rebuilding this original motor back to its original state, but he was also very instrumental in finding cylinder head for this car. They were only made in 1955 and 1956. I highly recommend this machine shop

Thank you so much for your work Kelly and Rick!!! I took a set of shovelheads, panheads, and knuckleheads in all at once and they rebuilt all of them perfectly. They fixed the stripped out holes in the panheads and did all of the valve jobs in record time. I really appreciate the attention to detail. You guys are great!!

The last of a dying breed, this shop has a fast turnaround, offers high quality work, and is reasonably priced.

One of the best machine shops in Denver . I have been going here for many jobs always perfect. Thanks again.

These guys have always done exceptional machine work for me and my customers. I’ve had 3 engines rebuilt by them in the past and they all ran and performed very well. There good hard working talented professionals and I’d highly recommend them for your engine rebuilding.

I must say by far the best mechine shop I have ever been to and done business with. Kelly and rick were freaking awesome to work wit. Always polite on the phone and in person. Helped me bore out a 350 cleaned the crank, intake cam bearing install. They let me know my heads had cracked and called me to let me know they had another set which was freaking awesome!!! Will definitely be doing and recommending them a lot more business. Thank you so much

Great shop to do business with! Machine work is always done in a very timely manner! Rick & Kelly are great to deal with and are always open to customers special requests! I dont believe that they are very well known in the racing world, But they SHOULD be!!

Poor attention to detail and poor customer service! I called around to multiple Volvo specialty repair shops and they all recommended area Auto Machine for Machining Volvo engines. I brought my cylinder head for my Volvo to area Auto Parts complete with the cam cover and bolts. I clearly told area Auto Machine that I needed the cylinder head looked at closely since I dont have much Machining experience and rebuilt. It took them awhile to get the repairs done because they were backed up with other jobs. When I finally got the cylinder head back I put it on the vehicle and notice something odd about the cam and how difficult they were to turn. The vehicle also would not start so I had to take it all back apart and brought it back to area Auto Machine and after another long wait for them to get it back in the shop. They told me that the cam cover wasnt the correct cover for that engine and it didnt match up. This was something that they were supposed to look at when they were rebuilding it! They argued with me that it wasnt their fault and that it wasnt something that they normally look at even though I told them that I needed it to be looked at because I need a professional machinist experience to make sure everything was correct on this head. I asked if they would give me at least half of the expense that I paid returned to me since I paid $500 for the repairs and I would take it elsewhere to be machined. They would not give me anything in return for my troubles and continued to argue.It is very difficult to find a good machine shop that you can trust and Area auto machine is not trustworthy!

I would recommend these guys to anyone. Rick and Kelly are always friendly and their shop is one of the cleanest and most organized I’ve been in. They’ve done everything from an old school 429 to my LS1 and always do a great job. You guys rock!!!

Area is the best, and only machine shop I use period. Great prices,honest people and they do fantastic work! Ive taken dozens of engines,cylinder heads,crankshafts, all for various services and have never had a issue at all ever!! Now that says something!! You guys rock and are never allowed to retire !!! Thanks for all you guys do!!

They are some of the best around. Ive done a couple things with them. Their prices are unbeatable and their work is amazing.. i recommend to anyone needing any work done. Great people.. i will continue to use them for as long as im building my engines..

Always efficient, always helpful, great customer service!

Looked all over town for a machine shop to install spindle bearings and ream them for new king pins for my 1952 Ford F1. A comment made on Tapatalk about a similar search for the king pin service highlighted Area Automotive Machine. Took them in and two hours later they were done! Excellent work, friendly encounter, extremely affordable. I would highly recommend this shop.

Took my IH Scout 345 for rebuild. Exact estimate, easy to work with, highly recommended.

Area rocks!! Kelly is fantastic and very knowledgeable, not to mention friendly. Rick does fantastic work for great prices and the turn around time couldnt be better. Highly recommend area for all your machine shop needs.

I have been using Areas machine shop services, since 2013, and I have yet to have a bad experience. Rick & Kelly are friendly, thorough and very knowledgeable. I have used other metro area machine shops, and I have not found one that has the same surface finish that Area can produce on a set of cylinder heads. Highly recommended.

These guys are great. Took over a couple of heads to them, had back the following day. Great service.Thanks from All Around Auto

Had my flywheel resurfaced here. They did a great job. No clutch chatter. And no vibration issues. Great service.

The absolute best machine shop in Denver! Honest, fast and impeccable work!

Very disappointing that they do not grind cranks any longer.Heard thru the automotive grape vine that the gentleman that did the crank grinding is now grinding cranks at Doug s Balancing on 1st Ave.

What a clean shop! Prices and turnaround time are reasonable. You can tell the owners take pride in their work and this shop. Theyve been in business for decades and have it down to a science.

Rick and Kelly have always been honest and professional. They arent perfect, but with the business and work, dealing with the kind of people they have to, they do excellent for the industry.

I have used Ricks shop for over 30 years. He and his father before him are always honest and fair.The work is good. The problem with most peoples experience is the damage is often worse than they knew. After parts are cleaned and inspected more wear and damage is found. The machinist has more bad news for the customer and nobody likes that. People expect the machinist to makechicken salad out of chicken $!X*.

Area machine - This is a machine shop, not a parts store. Im not sure how the name got posted this way. I dont have anything to do with these guys, just been in two times now.The guy at Area Machine said that this is the shop that a lot of the Harley dealerships send their work to, along with several of the custom builders in the area.I busted a retainer on my TC and messed up my heads. When I dropped them off, I found out they were the ones that did the original port job on them.Another time I had the jugs on my Iron Head punched out. I dropped them off one morning and got a call the next afternoon that they were done. I paid almost half the price other shops would have charged for the job.They have a pretty awesome stash of old jugs and heads for Harley guys, not to mention common engine parts for hot rodders ect.Im hoping 3rd time goes as well. Im dropping off another set of TC heads for a brother. They were water damaged, so we are not sure what all is bad.

Great service, fast, friendly staff!

I have been using this machine shop for years and they do a great job, I highly recommend them.

Great machine shop,highly highly recommend them fair pricing and fast knowledgeable quality work.

Great work at a reason price.

Trust their work and their service. Dependable, knowledgeable, timely, and reasonably priced.

30+ years using Area, motorcycles to V8s, never any issues. Highly recommend!

Awesome owners, fantastic work?

Very bad service. Dishonest with their pricing. poor quality work. Not a good machine shop to take your engine too.

Took my 47 Allis Chalmers for a rebuild. They saved a rare block from the scrap heap. Couldnt find anyone else willing to take it on.Thanks Area Auto. The old farm tractor is alive again.
