Hubbard Al Machine Shop

I needed to have the head for my Civic resurfaced, and was sent here by my buddy. I’m glad he sent me here. Jimmy is knowledgeable and friendly, you can tell he puts a lot of care into his work. Really down to earth, too. I’ll definitely be coming back the next time I need metal work.

This is guy is so nice. He doesn’t do the type of metal work I needed but took time to listen to what I wanted and referred me to somebody who does do it. Thanks!

Excellent !! customer service, very knowledgeable, friendly and very fast turnaround if you ask me for what they do.
SUPER HAPPY CUSTOMERS HERE !

FAIR, HONEST, SMART, QUICK, ALL WITH ZERO FAILURE. From my race application to simple everyday head resurfacing, these guys are excellent… Down to earth. Highly reccomended

My son and I are restoring a ’69 Mustang Fastback. We visited Wade and Jimmy at Hubbard Machine in Hayward to drop off our small block Ford engine for machining and balancing. Hubbard’s was recommended to us by a good friend, a vintage auto collector and racer who has been a Hubbard’s customer since it was run by Wade’s father in law (and has known Wade since he was 7 years old). This shop is SERIOUSLY OLD SCHOOL: Wade and Jimmy are very knowledgeable, take great pride in their work, and charge reasonable prices for their excellent service. I wish there were more businesses that managed to these principles. Many of our fellow gear-​heads recommended just buying a crate engine and dropping it in, but we decided we’ll get better results by machining the block and heads we’ve got and replacing some of the components with new, precision parts, matching a new carburetor to the right camshaft and re-​assembling the engine ourselves. All in (and including the balancing), we paid less than ONE THIRD of what a low-​end crate motor would run us. And it only took Hubbard’s a couple of weeks to finish the job. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.
