Lake Ponchartrain where we served the Covington and Madisonville, Louisiana area. Upstate and we continue to have affiliates in all locations. The limo was clean and comfortable and the driver could not have been more courteous. I will definitely contact you again if I need a limousine and I will recommend you to family and friends.Thank you so much for the best quality service and reasonable price.

I was told this place Was top-notch for engine rebuilding and cylinder head repair. Chris Dover treated me like I was the only customer there even though they have a heavy work load. What I heard about them impressed me so much that I drove 40 miles. I'm looking forward to them working on my engine and cylinder heads. Highly Recommend!

I have used Dover's for many years as my "go to" shop for automotive machining services. All work is performed by the book, the best you will find in the Upstate. Great folks, always happy to answer questions and take the time to help you with your project. We are thankful to have such a fantastic, family owned business right here in the area.

Took a bare sbc to have cleaned, they called me a month later, I went and picked up the block and it still looked the same on the outside. Got back to my shop and ran a small brush down in the oil ports for the crank mains and dirt and grease came out stuck to the small brush, looks like they just sat my engine block in the back and waited a month and called and said it was ready for pickup. Tried calling to get my money back for their "services" but they never refunded me or actually re-did what they never did in the first place. Will not be going back to Dover.

Took 2 heads for repair for Jim's Auto Repair. He has used them for years as they do quality work. Long drive but worth it. The only problem is it is going to be two weeks to do them. They are off our race car and we have a big 3 day race at Bristol Tennessee in two weeks. Had to find another set of heads. They are swamped with wok. That is the price they pay for doing quality work. I still highly recommend them.

I will never use this place again. I had them do all the machine work for my engine build. I found 4 major problems without even having the tools to measure all of their Machining work. They cross threaded 10 of the bolts on the side of my aluminum cylinder head. They clearly rammed bolts in that were the wrong thread pitch. I told them I was going to be using a speedi sleeve on the crank and without asking they polished down the front seal surface so much that I couldn't use the sleeve but not far enough to remove the groove in the crank.
They took off so much that I had to hunt for a different size sleeve. They also told me the cylinder head was ready to install and right before I installed it I discovered that the valves were not lapped at all so I had to completely disassemble and reassemble the head. I had them install threaded inserts for all the spark plugs. they promised me that they would use the specific brand and type that I asked for.
When I picked it up it had a different type of enormous threaded inserts in it that have a tapered seat instead of flat seat for the Crush Washer that goes on the spark plug.

If you're only getting parts cleaned, prepare for disappointment. Waste of a 2hr drive, uncleaned parts, damaged block and a weeks worth of time. Completely unacceptable work! Edit: The parts were never washed. Cylinder walls were left completely dry to flash rust. Duct tape still completely bonded to intake and exhaust ports. Mineral spirits spilling into the trunk as I placed them back inside.
If they needed to be media blasted, then why was it never suggested to have done to meet your customers expectations? You run the machine shop, not me. You know what 'clean' is, so that's too much trouble to even offer a simple explaination? Obviously a complete lack of communication\care because you can't make money off of machine time by just washing. Blatantly damaging parts, disregarded while handling them.
As someone who respects a company that's been around for so long, these people are still making entry level excuses while producing work that's worse than it started off to be.

I can't express the gratitude I have for the hard work and quick turn around time from Chris and his team at Dover Cylinder Head Service, Inc. not only did they have my head back to me in under a week but the service and communication through the process was impeccable. From the moment it arrived receiving a message to other things he recommended be done, to contacting me with shipping information when it was headed back. His prices can't be beat. Thanks again gents I will forever be a customer. Oh and their prices can't be beat.
