"Richard's Machine Shop has been doing work for us for five years and the results have always been excellent."

"We took our BMW N54 head to Richard’s. They cleaned it, resurfaced it reseated and sealed the valves and pressure tested it. It looked like a brand new head when we got it back. We also took the block and some other parts down to have them inspect them. They are very knowledgeable. Talking to Richard about engines makes me realized how much I don’t know about engines. :). They finished fairly close to the original timeline. When I wanted an update I didn’t have any issues getting ahold of them. I will use them again. They are busy so plan accordingly."

"I took my Ford 5.8 complete basket case to Richards. Had the block cleaned/bored/honed, crank turned, and rods resized. I purchased the pistons and bearings from them as you should when you have this type work done. I didn’t have it assembled to save money. I am a professional mechanic but not a professional engine builder so I checked ALL of the measurements several times to be sure with proper tools…. Not plastigauge. Everything was spot on. If you go to a machine shop and they are not backlogged with work it’s probably because they aren’t good so yes, sometimes you have to wait. I have been to many machine shops in my 35yrs as a mechanic and this is the best one still open in the Indy area IMO. I almost didn’t use them because of bad reviews so I thought I should leave them a fair review so others could see. I also dealt with both of their receptionist. They were both very on point. I honestly don’t believe the reviews that say otherwise because they went out of their way to help me. This was for my father in laws truck may he RIP so it was important to me. These guys aren’t kids. They have been doing this a while. It’s also VERY IMPORTANT that a machine shop has quality machines. This place has quality equipment which is why I chose them in the first place after my go to shop closed it’s doors. They have their equipment listed on their website so you can and should check for yourself."

"You can not find anyone in the entire metro area to be more honest and on point with services, then Richard's. I've worked with JR and his wife since 2012. Nicest people. They deserve all the business! Efficient, knowledgeable, and very dependable. No other Machine Shop in Indianapolis for me!"
