Portland Engine Rebuilders Larson & King’s

So I was looking for a engine rebuild shop for my 1962 car. So I searched and searched until I was recommended to come here by more than one person. They were nice, friendly and will teach you during the process. Ted been working there for quite some time (+40 years I believe) and he told me that since he was working there he worked on same engine as mine only 8 time because it was so rare. Coincidentally when I took my engine there they were working on the same engine he even showed it to me. Funny thing is they were having hard time to locate parts for it. So when I showed up they knew who to call. They were really close to the estimate they gave but it took a little bit longer which I completely understand because they were rebuilding an +50 years old engine. The engine is almost done! but I still don’t know how it will turn out. I’m having a good feeling about it.
Overall very nice people would recommend to others based on the customer service, might write another review after testing it.

Purchased a rebuilt engine for one of my company trucks. A month after the engine was installed we began having problems. Check engine light was coming on frequently. Turns out there was a part in the engine that had gone wrong. With diagnostics time, time to replace the part, and other related parts, the total for my repairs was $ 650.00. At the time, Portland Engine Rebuilders told me to go ahead and pay the bill and submit it to them and they’d «take care of me.» From that point it was all down hill. Communication was poor. They wouldn’t return my calls/​emails. In the end, they only covered just over $ 200 of my repair costs. They have a lot of fine print that you don’t realize is there until a warranty issue comes up. Basically, if anything is wrong with the engine after it’s installed — YOU will be the one paying for most of the repair costs. Their warranty is full if things they won’t cover and the consumer ends up taking the shaft. Take your money elsewhere!

I searched for a machine shop for months before I found Portland engine. I’m glad I held out. Ted king and his team are true professionals and know there way around engines. I have been incredibly impressed throughout this entire process.
