Hopsing’s Machine

Hopsing Machine is just down right awesome! Vinny has helped me on multiple projects! He has really good prices. He even drove to my house to do a repair! I am so glad I found this shop. His skill level about machining is unmatched.

I brought my Toyota 22RE cylinder head for a complete refresh. I am a mechanical guy but this is my first experience with a machine shop so i was scared.
Hopsing greeted me and understood my naïveté, instead of dismissing me. I dropped the head off on a Wednesday and told him i needed it by Friday 1:30pm.
Hopsing had the head ready at my pickup time, and charged me the original quoted amount. It was a great experience and I will most definitely be using his shop again for my other engines.

First impression of the Shop is «Hole in the Wall» Mickey Mouse machine shop. But i guess all the magic happens in the back. The front seriously looks like a gas station sceen from one of them «Resident Evil» films. This must be reason why the prices are so reasonable. In keeping the overhead low he can pass on the savings to the costomers. I had a Honda D16Y8 rebuilt and althought it took a week longer then promised, for the price i really cannot complain. The engine was installed and runs smoother then NEW. I would highly recommend this place for all your engine machining needs. I think he also provides machine services to alot of the local shops in the area. The reason i say that is the short time i was there, many different shop trucks either dropped off or picked up engine parts.

I am not satisfied. But I’m reasonable. I will return to the shop in attempts to find satisfaction. Stay tuned, I shall return.
Update
My 4Runner required a new head which I bought here. A 16 valve job which I got complete with two new camshafts and valves. The problem was that the new head had a hole bored into it for a camshaft positioning unit which the old head did not have. Another 100 dollar part that the local dealers did not have. What to do?
Spend more money for a 100. Dollar oil plug? I think not
The only non Asian guy at Hopsings suggested a Mickey Mouse job of fabricating a metal plate to cover the port which is what we did.
The aggravating thing was with the availability of my technician, this SNAFU delayed the completion of the job by another week for a vehicle we so desperately needed.
But the price was unbeatable, fast turn around and the advice from Hopsing himself was very useful. He is very knowledgeable. I would recommend him to anyone. Just make sure that as a customer you know what to look for and ask questions so that your project goes smoother than mine.
