Hollywood Machine Shop

This guys Did a valve job for a 04 g35 and I can not be more happy. Did a great job and fast thank you.

First off I’m a little surprised this place has almost no reviews. Aldo, the manager and owner, is a certified aerospace machinist. He is friendly, honest, fair, and skilled. Years of experience behind him.
I saw how he worked while resurfacing my flywheel. He is very scrupulous and precise. Qualities you want in a machinist. He told me that he would rather have customers complain because he’s taking too long than complain because of the shoddy work. Very qualified. Would recommend to anyone.

I have had several engines rebuilt here: American V8’s, & British and Italian straight 6’s. All required considerable work, and all were completed professionally and for a very reasonable price.
Update Sept 2015: After several years (!) I managed to get the (unfinished) engine from my Citroen SM away from Baldo. He was great with the others, but this Maserati quad cam 3L V6 was waaaay too much for him. Be warned.

My head gasket blew on my 00 Tacoma 4cyl 3rz fe. oil and air was coming our of the radiator… head gasket replacement time and so i knew i needed to get my cylinder head checked.
I checked out Unilocal for a good machine shop in the area and was surprised that there was hardly any. i guess its not a common Unilocal subject.
A lengthy search outside of Unilocal finally yielded this little gem. he was the only one in the area that had a review! (that’s within 10mi of where i live)
I called. the price was reasonable for what he needed to do. (check for warpage, check for leaks (tech did up to 120psi, not the standard 15psi), also did a total valve adjustment (at max tolerances, it was time), re-​cut valve, re-​cut valve seats, lapping and cleaning plus change valve seals. The Tech was quite knowledgeable. i got my cylinder head back in 3 days.
I was quite apprehensive (of my work) since its my first engine job on my own but after i put the cylinder head back on the truck, it was purring like a kitten. its been 300 miles now and the truck actually has a little more power and runs quieter too!
he definitely will be working on my next engine project!
