These guys are great! They helped me rebuild two engines. They were willing to answer any questions or give helpful advice throughout the process.

Bob and Mike offer quality work that is hard to find anymore. They resurfaced my BMW flywheel same day. They were the only shop in the area with the equipment to do so, they are extremely knowledgeable. The service was so good I honestly want to say so much more.

ICS Automotive Machines in Pittsburgh is the machine shop that would be on the Andy Griffith Show because they provide small-hometown service, reasonable prices and quality work. The work is only done by the two business owners. Engine was a BMW S54 from a 2004 M3. I called several shops and one told me that he would not touch my engine for $1 million dollars. Another was too busy and a third shop hung up on me. I choose ICS because Bob spent time discussing their work on the phone. I drove almost 2 hours to Pittsburgh and Bob explained their process for 30 minutes and showed me the blown head gasket that caused the low compression in the cylinders. I explained my budget to Bob. So, he called after he accessed the engine to provide the options and prices for the head, crank, and block but I was not sure about the valve job because of my budget. Therefore, Bob tested the head for leaks and called me back and told me that the head did not currently need a valve job. I decided not to do the valves but changed my mind within 24 hours because I was not sure how long the valve seats would last on a head with 186,000 miles. Bob reduced the price of the valve job by at least 25%

ICS is truly the best hands down. Bob and Mike are super knowledgeable and always offer the best advise. No disappointments what so ever. I had the original 396 for my 69 c10 built by ICS and it was top notch. Daily driven and raced for years with never an issue. That was in 2005 and the engine is still running strong. Ever since then, ICS has been able to do all sorts of machine work for me with the utmost professionalism every single time. I highly recommend ICS!!!

My personal experience with ICS machine has been beyond a satisfying one. They built me a custom 427 for a 69 chevelle and showed every attention to detail. Bob would call me at every step of the process and explain my options with pros, cons, and relation to price. Never once did he treat me like the meter was continuing to run. He would go over everything and educate me to make my best choice. After the motor was completed i had a shop install it and i found out 800 miles later they did everything wrong which caused damage to my motor. To say that Bob empathized with me was an understatement , he helped me through the process and spent more time correcting and diagnosing other people's errors which he did not need to do. The motor now is correct and car runs and sounds incredible. You get what you pay for!
