I need to have new valve guides installed, the deck surfaced, and a valve job on some 1500 single port heads. Who would you recommend to perform quality work?
I am in SF CA area but they obviously can be shipped.
Thanks |

Hi.
Brothers machine is very good.
Another consideration is EMS (Engine Machine Service) is exceptional also. Muffler Mike Shelton uses them for his unique needs:

Your options within the Bay Area are to call the Buggy House in Hayward and speak to James to see if Jerry will do them, Jansen Enterprises as outlined above, or rick eichler in Sonoma.
Otherwise it is time to mail it out to SoCal. |

I was sad to hear that Bugformance in San Jose had closed.
All VW Shop in Mountain View Ca and Peninsula Automotive Independent Volkswagen & Audi Specialists in San Jose are both still around and have very good Yelp Reviews. _________________ Good Luck

Look all around your region. See what is being done at the shop. You want it done correctly for sure, do your homework. _________________ Volkswagen: We tune what we drive.
