If you know of/would like to recommend a good machine/body/parts shop and or junkyard around Southern AZ please post it here! An address or phone # if you have it would be great as well. Please NO debates, just info and recommendations. Thanks!

Bruce (90RS305)


As the other post had stated, what shops are we using here in Tucson? What Machine Shops, engine builders, junk yards, etc is everybody here using here? This information would be helpful for all the Tucson folks that don't/can't do specific things to their cars. Name, phone number, and the type of work they do would be helpful.

In the end we can have a list for both the Tucson & surrounding area along with our neighbors to the north.

Larry's engine and marine did the rebuild on my 350 (now 355) and did all the machine work and ordered all the parts for my dad's 396. they do real good work, im not sure how their prices compare to other people but you can always call them and ask questions, and they gave me a two year/24k mile warranty with my engine. they had a supercharged big block going in a boat there last time i was there that was as tall as me

If you need body work done, take it to Thoroughbred Paint & Body on 22nd between Craycroft & Swan. They do an excellent job. Just check out Amber's car now!

some of the best classic car mechanics are at Buck's automotive service center on wetmore and 1st and Buck's River Road Exxon at 1st ave and river road. Billy is the name of the good classic car mechanic at bucks auto, and dave brown is the name of the one at the exxon station. i dont know if anyone is familiar with the buckner family, but they race circle track dirt and pavement. and the manager of the exxon (mike buckner, son of frank, who is the owner) had a 91 camaro when he was younger so he knows the third gen stuff.


also if anyone needs their oil changed, or other lube like services, come to jiffy lube on oracle and fort lowell (next to the radio stations) and ask for jason (thats me!) if you want to get multiple services i can usually hook it up pretty good. also im looking at a promotion to a management position in the near future, so i'll be able to hook it up reallly good!

mang, APEX motorsports has everything do make you car **** or your money back dawg!

I'll recommend a place not to go.

Performance car care on golflinks by wilmot, next to raiders reef, they suck. I spent oddles for them to try and get my car to run normal when I owned my 84 and they would just throw in random parts and charge me. I'd stay away from them.

NEVER go to Machine Works on Stone. The guy Don who owns it used to be my dad's crew cheif and he screwed us both over with my dads and my engines. My 383 didnt last 2 monthes without throwing itself apart. We took it apart and there is all kinds of craptacular machine work and assembly. Just my .02

To anybody thinking about visiting our local "hot rod" shops, don't even bother wasting your time. Don's and Townsends (more so Don's) are by far the most pitiful automotive establishments I've ever dealt with. I think I speak for most of my friends as well. Unless you are "buds" with one of the nitwits working there, you'll stand in line waiting for a simple fuel fitting for half an hour while they BS with their friends who seem to visit them 24/7 at the counter. What horse $hit. If anybody from Don's is reading this....you suck.

Lets not even get INTO the pricing. My ***, can you say MARKUP??? They quoted me $290 for a throttle body for my mustang that I can get from Checker for $199 which btw has a better return policy and money back gaurantee, receipt or no receipt.

Ok my rant is done

Long story short, if you need hi-po parts, go to First/Grant Checker, which I just happen to work at and I'll get you the hookup, OR, better yet, have some ****ing patience and call summit and get your part in 3 days for 20% less than local prices.

I've bought a few things over the years at Don's. It seems like the stuff they have in stock will cost you what it would cost from summit once you figure in shipping...that is provided you're getting ONE or TWO items only. If you're buying a lot of stuff, Don's will be much more expensive.

ANother thing I've noticed there is that the mark-up they add is on stuff they do NOT have in stock. I don't know if that is really true in all cases or not, but in the experiences I've had that's what I've noticed.

As far as them not being kind and friendly and slow, I've been very happy with how friendly they were.

This transmission shop took more than tree weeks to "rebuild" a transmission. My husband and I had to return the car three times because the work was not performed properly. The last time the shop had the car for four weeks. The manager uses a demeening tone with customers and lies. We asked for the number to contact the district manager and he told us there was no number to give us. We called another location and the manager was happy to give us a number to reach the district manager. I would push my car before I would aloow them to touch it again.

Overall user rating: Not Recommended
--------------------------------------------------------
Apparently the company has some sort of district manager, so you can pursue resolution. If you let it go, they will sell your car for $$$. Call the city license and permits office, make a complaint based on deceptive and possibly illegal business practices. If you are not an adult, have your dad lead the charge. Bottom line is they are responsible for explaining what each part of the contract means and how it affects you. They cannot just shove it at customers and say, "sign it" then screw them over.

The manager for all the stores is James Marshall, Tucson, Yahoo pulled out this info, but dunno if it's him or another JM:

James Marshall
775 W Roger Rd
Tucson, AZ
(520) 293-1580

There's a JM in Glendale, email address is:
jamesmaz03@msn.com


Also contact the BBB:

Anyway, contact the city/county licensing agencies and BBB, let them work for you. Also send the trans shop a registered letter, signature required, notifying the company that you have filed a complaint, not dispose of your car, and you are open to settling out of court. Be aware, however, that the first order of business is to get your car out of there, in pieces or not, then pursue recovery of any monies.

Good luck, you'll need it, along with a lot of persistance.

I want those rims so bad....the more I see the stock Z28 wheels on my car the more I come to despise them. I think the Iroc Z wheels looked much much better.

I like townsends myself...yeah it might cost a little more but you are helping out a local shop!!! PLus I have never been to a checkers where instead of making me buy a whole set of bolts they break a set open and give it to me... Thats what stands these types of shops apart. Istill go to checkers and mervs at speedway and swan.. Guy there use to be a drag and circle track racer... Has lots of connetions for other things you may need.

Hi speed performance on 17th is a bad @$$ shop! Google them and look at their shop hell go check it out! Thy just completed an ls2/t56/ ford 9" set up in my friends 88 firebird!!! Looks like it came from the dealer that way!
