Red is awesome really helpful and nice guy. helped save me thousands by confirming my k20 head wasnt cracked and that it was just casting, port, polished, did a valve job and installed all my parts including my valve guides all for a good reasonable price. definitely going back for my future builds

Red knows what he is doing the staff seams very knowledgeable. If you want the job done right bring your engine here! if you just want it done and dont care about quality, .. dont waste Reds time! He does it one way and only one way... THE RIGHT WAY.

Great shop, very knowledgeable and very helpful. This was the first time I got any work done on a motor before and they answered my questions and helped me figure out what exactly I needed done.

Where do i start... I had my duramax engine built at hunter machine. Only to have catastrophic failure after failure. The block never got decked the machine work was meh and the reassembly was horrible. They put freeze plugs IN MY WATER JACKETS where they were not supposed to be which overheated the motor 3 times till i figured it out . i had to pull my motor out 3 different times trying to figure this problem out. Once i did i got the engine put all back together only to find a major oil leak that i had to one more time pull my engine out again to find a oil galley plug intalled incorrectly. Once i figured that out i had to repair the leak and put the motor back in the truck. I finished it up and have since driven it About 7000 miles, which i hesitated to drive the truck from fear of the truck breaking down. Only to lose oil pressure and lost all coolant. Where did it go you ask, well it came out another freeze plug that was installed incorrectly. Filling the crankcase with coolant which pressurized the oil enough to blow out the rear main seal. The freeze plug that came out was behind the water pump. The freeze plug got chewed by the timing gear an oil pump ruining both. And so as i sit right now my motor is out of the truck once again unable to drive . which in turn will cost thousands of dollars to fix once again.I WOULD NEVER USE HUNTER MACHINE EVER AGAIN.

Hunter machine is a joke paid as much for a rebuild as for a new crate engine red told if I put all brand new parts on that it would run better than when I bought it new 18 thousand miles it’s leaking like a water fall main seal

Red and the crew are the absolute best machine shop around. Id say Red has forgotten more about engines than most have ever known.

Did a great job on some Cylinder heads for my customers boat.Red or Bryan are the go to for High Performance or racing builds. And if they have something they know where to get it.

Took my 4.3L engine in for a rebuild and got a call from Red later on the week that my engine show a tiny cracked on the block and itll cost me way more to fixed than what is worth! They couldve putt it together and make it look new again and charge me and itll last me a year or so but Hunter Machine was truly honest with me and advise me to other options. I highly recommend Hunter Machine to anyone who knows nothing or pro for any machines work for their engines. Cheers and Thank You Hunter Machine.

I grew up next to Red and was great friends with his oldest son. Great family and great love a racing machining and repair. I knew when they opened their shoo that they would succeed. I am very impressed by the clean organized shop . Very nice! That attention will flow right into your quality and repair.

I handed the owner a small part. No matter what, there wont be a lot of money made, on this job. Instead of throwing me out, he says, is tomorrow soon enough? Excellent service, great prices and accurate work. My new favorite machine shop.....thank you, especialy considering how small time my work was.

They are awesome. Real price given up front and work done right. The gave great advise, knowledge, and friendly help all free of charge. Their machine work and labor was more than fair. The owner truly cares about his customers. They did the motor in my 69 Chevelle. Because of the owners superior craftsmanship it was 368 rwhp with old closed chambered heads. THAT IS AMAZING.

Review №29

Hmmm. They did a very good job. Its been a few hundred miles on my fresh head. Zero hiccups and I still remember how knowledgable the guy was, ibsay guy because Im only 70% sure his name was Red; its been a while. If you want a good shop dont think twice. When I used to work at the local Ford dealership down the street all my coworkers agreed they were the bees knees and shoot we even sent stuff their way to do work for us.

Redd and the crew are awesome. I have a repair shop in West Valley and have had at least 200 valve jobs done, only once did we have a problem with a valve and they not only repaired it quickly but paid me to re-remove the head and bought all gasket sets! It is great to have a true machinist that is knowledgeable and fair. Thanks for your hard work guys.

I have used Hunter Machine a number of times over the past few years. Their prices are fair, they do good work, and they dont do work that is not needed. Red the owner is an expert in his field. He is very knowledgeable. He takes the time to explain why the work need or does not need to be done.

There guys are great to work with! I had to find a machine shop outside of Elko Nevada and found them through a Google search. Judging from the pictures of there shop and other reviews, I gave them a call. I found them very knowledgeable and prices were more than reasonable. Furthermore, they could answer all my questions in regards to my engine repair! I recommended Hunter Machine to another friend in Elko. He called and found that they could do the bottom end work to his LS. It will be there soon. Great job guys!

Review №37

Spent thousands with him last year with two motors, had a problem with the one so I pulled it out of the car and he took care of the issue BUT was an a** about it, tryed charging to work that was covered under warranty AND did not finish assembly as covered under warranty. After discussing amount he told me to just take it but to promise to never come back. NOT THE WAY TO DO BUSINESS. Do it right the first time so you dont waste my time, your money.
