They were a good business in 2020 but now do not bring you car there. Scam artist, they will keep it and not work on it for months. Keep it in the elements. They have no respect for your property. I’m surprised they are still in business.

DO NOT take your car to this place! Just like the other review they owe me a lot of money! Still! I had to take my car back because my build kept getting pushed back! Kept getting the run around and blowing smoke up my butt! I’ve had my car back since January they never touched it and it was there from March 2023 til January 2024 more than enough time to start a very expensive build. I was told just like the other review that he would pay me back in full! Seems like a terrible pattern! They don’t build engines, they steal. I feel like they took my money and used it to stay a float. I don’t think they will be in business very long. I held back writing a review because if they would’ve paid me my money in a timely manner all would’ve been forgiven and I would’ve just went somewhere else. They don’t answer phone calls I would leave a message and they won’t call back. The only time I would speak to them when I drive there and speak in person. At this point I had to hire an attorney to get my money back. Which is a long process but it is what it is at this point. If I could give Zero stars I would.. it’s a shame good hard working people getting scammed!

I used to love this shop until trying to work with them on a big project. I brought my Nissan Hardbody in for an LS Swap in early April of 2021. They quoted me a five figure sum for the parts to get it done and I payed it upfront, as they had done well by me before and at the time I had no reason to not trust them. After a year and a half of no work being performed on the truck outside of them washing it, very little communication, and no confirmation of a timeframe for when they would even be able to start working on it, I canceled the build on October 21, 2022. They acknowledged the cancelation on October 25th, 2022 after a follow up request. After not getting a response to messages for a timeline for returning my money in November 2022, December 2022, or January 2023, I switched to trying to call. The calls were rarely answered unless calling from a new number, but no timeline for repayment was ever given. After a year of getting no response, I went back to requesting a repayment timeline in written form on January 8, 2024. After following up weekly, they replied to my message on January 25, 2024 saying that they intend to pay me back, but again provided no timeline. I have followed up monthly since with no response. It is now August 2024. I have attached screenshots of my written contact attempts since the build cancelation. If you are reading this, my money has still not been returned to me.

Had them dyno tune my truck. 1st time around it was not done correctly. Truck would stall. Brought it back a second time and they made it 10 times worse. I understand that things happen, but the worse part is that I called multiple times over the course of a few months to try to bring the truck back to them for thr 3rd time, and they would tell me that they will call me back but never did. Ended up having to pay someone else to tune it correctly.

I’ve used Rusty knuckle garage on both my vehicles with no issues whatsoever. They done an engine swap and the two minor issues afterwards were handled and repaired under warranty with no cost to me at all . I highly recommend their consideration for any vehicle repairs .

The manager was very transparent about the services that were needed for my son's car. He was helpful and the pricing was fair.

Great work repairing all my window motors and actuators in my 1996 Chevy Impala SS. The parts were not easy to come by and were a little expensive, but I wanted the job done right and all the windows are operating like new. Can't wait for the call to bring my car in for the engine swap. Gotta love more HP.
