Bob Forrest Engine Rebuilders

Wow am I glad I dont give a lot of credibility to online reviews : ) I have been looking for a machine shop to do some specialty engine work where the work we agreed upon would be completed quickly with the high level of quality and commitment to honesty/customer service I expect. After having been disappointed by a two other Willamette Valley Machine shops, I found BFER in Corvallis, I had read other reviews that were not all positive, so I stopped by the BFER shop and talked to Duane. I am very glad I did. We talked about what I needed done, cost, and timeline and I left it in Duane's hands. To my suprise, the work was finished days sooner than expected and at a lower cost than any other Willamette Valley machine shop. I know where I will be taking the rest of my machine work ! I also learned that the price/services list on the BFER homepage are not what is charged for each service listed. The prices in the list were entered as a guide without that being clarified and the web

The company is great and the work is high quality, but plan ahead because they are busy and backlogged. Just like most places that are quality first oriented you must be prepared to wait.

Bob and Duane are both super knowledgeable and totally willing to help. They do fanominal work and at a very reasonable price. I had them resurface a crankshaft that he didn't think could be machined. He did the shopping for me and found a brand new crank for a good price and had everything finished that same week. He also found some gouges in one of the connecting rods I gave him, called to let me know he had already found a new one and was working on putting the new pistons on them. Great service and would definitely recommend.
