Below are a few highlights from the inbox and shop floor—unedited praise for JT’s work from real builds.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Absolutely Outstanding — Best Mechanic in the Business!
I had my Mercedes engine completely rebuilt by JT, and I can honestly say there’s no one like him in this industry. His integrity, expertise, and dedication to his craft are unmatched. From start to finish, I received constant updates, pictures, and videos throughout the entire process—something you just don’t get at other shops. JT’s video proof and meticulous attention to detail make it undeniable the level of care and precision he puts into every build. His work speaks for itself, and his integrity is unquestionable. Anyone who tries to run a hustle or refuses to bring a vehicle back to him is only trying to game the process, because JT documents everything. He stands by his work and always takes care of his customers. You’re not just dealing with a mechanic—you become part of the family. JT treats every car like it’s his own, and every customer like a good friend. If you’re looking for unmatched expertise, a trustworthy shop, and an incredible team, this is the only place to go. JT is hands down the best engine builder in Texas, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my car. Highly recommend!

Trackhawk Killer Build
JT turned my Grand Cherokee into a Trackhawk killer—this thing is an absolute monster. AWD grips hard, the supercharger screams, and nothing on the road can touch it. If you want a real Hellcat Jeep swap, JT is the only name you need to know.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Coyote Swap — Total Game Changer
I was on the fence about doing a Coyote swap for my classic Bronco, but JT convinced me it was the right move. He explained every detail, kept me updated, and built a truck that’s now a perfect mix of modern power and classic styling. It’s a whole new beast now.

Sent My BMW from Ohio — Worth Every Mile
Huge shoutout to JT. I sent my 2008 BMW 328xi from Ohio to his shop and got it back in no time. Now my car is driving perfectly thanks to his work. Great customer service and always gave me updates on the progress. I highly recommend JT! 10/5 stars if I could.

First-Ever LS1 Swap in a Jaguar — Unreal
JT did the first-ever LS1 swap in a Jaguar XJ-S, and it’s a perfect fusion of European luxury and American muscle. The custom mounts, wiring integration, and tuning make it feel factory-built—but with way more attitude. This is the definition of high-performance innovation.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Engine Builder Elite — A Hidden Gem
Best little engine shop in Texas. They used to have about a hundred 5-star reviews before Google changed formats. Communication before and during my project was clear and kept me informed. The expertise and attention to detail JT delivers can only be described as elite. On-time, on-budget, with the best quality one can expect. The end result of a smoother, stronger running engine than I’d hoped for has me back on the road with a smile. Highly recommended.
