So I give them a job i could have taken any place and chose them they get a big job which should have been fully covered by safeco and then charge me over twice the amount of average. called tonkin parts and found out the cost for them is $500 and charging me $750 for it and want to charge me about $750 diagnosis which is same as estimate because i can put this part in about 5 minutes from what i saw on you tube. i have a buddy that has this part and will give it to me. then they quote me a $130 restocking fee for it after telling brian to hold up on ordering till i find out about this part from buddy. Is all of this insanity because i drive an expensive vehicle or could nt close strong enough w safeco to cover the fabricated numbers i need to cover. is it my fault it took them lots of man hours to diagnose a problem other shops quoted out from free to $99 to find it was a short in the abs module?? I am not happy at all and now i am paying for a rental at $40 per day till I come up w this money to pay them. Ive heard about practices like this but first time ive encountered it. thought it was to make a movie funnier had no clue this really happened.

A month after the engine was installed we began having problems. Check engine light was coming on frequently. Turns out there was a part in the engine that had gone wrong. With diagnostics time, time to replace the part, and other related parts, the total for my repairs was $650.00. At the time, Portland Engine Rebuilders told me to go ahead and pay the bill and submit it to them and they'd "take care of me." From that point it was all down hill. Communication was poor. They wouldn't return my calls/emails. In the end, they only covered just over $200 of my repair costs. They have a lot of fine print that you don't realize is there until a warranty issue comes up. Basically, if anything is wrong with the engine after it's installed - YOU will be the one paying for most of the repair costs. Their warranty is full if things they won't cover and the consumer ends up taking the shaft. Take your money elsewhere!

As of this date (June 13) I have not received the engine. He lost it in shipping, was an excuse for two weeks, and finally I requested a refund, so I can purchase an engine elsewhere for my customer who is becoming irritated with Cylinder Head Specialists. Greg Mahoney said he would give us a refund - which he hasn't done. As of June 11, his company charged my debit card yet again. So now, we are without the engine that was originally $2705 - and he owes me $5410!! Bad company!! I highly recommend finding a different avenue of service than these people.
