We have used Jim, and Dover Cylinder Head many times, and every single time the service is straight up, the price is right, and the job is done right the first time! HIGHLY recommended!!! Amazing craftmanship and quality of work!

Cool dude who does good work for a fair price. Definitely recommend him for all your engine machining needs. Had him skim 2 heads for a Toyota v6. They came back clean and ready to install.

Jim is a master at his work. You can tell right off that every detail is critical to him and it came through for me. This is the very first post I have ever done. But I am so thrilled with the recent build of my engine I had to say something. I bought a car that had a freshly built 454 in it. (NOT A DOVER BUILD) I knew the engine wasn't right so I planned on the rebuild in what I paid for the car. When we tore it down it was messed up in some minor and major ways. 4 rods had been put in backward, all exhaust push rods were bent, enough said about the mess. I had planned to get the machine work done and put it back together myself. The price Jim gave me to do a professional job was to good to pass. When I went to see my rebuilt engine I was blown away. Everything from the paint to the machine work far, far, far exceeded my expectations. The engine looks like it is brand new. There is no question in my mind that I will never even think of talking to another shop. I just wish I could tell more people, if you want it right take it to Dover Cylinder Head.

Total rip off on prices. Needed some heads shaved and cleaned and Jim wanted to charge 420$?!? The last guy I used to go to charged me 120$ for the same work and it was great work as well. If it wasn’t for his unfortunate passing then I wouldn’t have needed to go anywhere else. I bought heads in good shape for half the price still on top of that. And I was rudely questioned about the work I was planning on doing myself as if there were petty doubts about my know how of the engine I have. Didn’t appreciate it at all. And I was quoted almost 2500$ for a port and polish?!? No thanks bud. Keep the heads.

Dover Cylinder Head provided an exceptional service and stuck to its original estimate. Jim was nothing, but an honest man who had a great turnaround time. I have a 1973 Corvette 454, which desperately needed its first rebuild. It had low compression, a worn out crank, cam, and heads. Jim provided great advice for after market parts, which has made the car fun to drive while still being dependable as this car is my main means of transportation. I have and would recommend this shop to anyone in need of engine work as they produce reliable and high quality work.

I would like to thank Jim very much for the fast courteous service in helping me to repair my cylinder heads. I was able to drop them off on Friday morning and pick them up on Saturday afternoon. I had them completely rebuilt and they are perfect! Have them bolted on and running great! The service was exceptional and priced very fairly and the man knows his business. I will certainly be back with more project motors in the future. His motto serves him well with "Don't do it over,bring it to Dover." Thanks Big daDDy Dover!!

Regardless of some of the poor reviews here, I chose to use Dover Cylinder Head Services Inc. to machine my flywheel. I recognize what a machine shop is and that customer service, as far as friendliness/talkative goes, is usually not something they're known for. I've been working on cars for many years, and have dealt with several machine shops. Today was the first time I've needed one since moving to Orlando a few years ago. I was very satisfied with Jim's work! I walked in, toward the end of the day, but I had called first, and he immediately got on top of machining my flywheel. I tired to talk to Jim a bit, but he's a man of few words lol However, he was perfectly professional, and even bummed me a smoke. Ha I would highly recommend Dover Cylinder Head Services Inc. to anyone I know. If you're looking for a place that's going to hold your hand, this may not be the place(I can't say that for certain though), but if you know what you need and want it done well, Jim's your man.
