Best Machine

Great work, reasonable price, ready when he says it will be. I appreciate Bruce’s taking time to discuss the options and get my heads back in time to make my client happy… Highest recommendation!

Called and got a flywheel resurfaced same day, awesome service and I was lucky he could fit it in. Pretty busy one man shop so be patient if he isn’t answering the phone.

Came here to get a flywheel resurfaced last month and Bruce was super helpful and friendly. He was also very, very knowledgable and explained to me what the different marks and patterns on the surface of my flywheel meant. I dropped off my flywheel around noon and picked it up a few hours later at a very reasonable price.
I have since installed the flywheel back onto my car with a new clutch and no problems whatsoever. I would definitely come back in the future.
PS. Parking may be difficult to find in the area.

Such Great service from Bruce I would highly recommend for all his Honest assessments.

was going to bring in my rotors to be bead blasted and Bruce educated me that was not the correct method to clean off excessive rust/​corrosion because it can cause pitting and inclusions. I’m going in tomorrow to see what he can do for me…
Thanks Bruce

I can’t believe there aren’t more reviews on this shop.
Bruce, the owner, has been around for many years. as far back as I can remember to my high school days (10 years now). He’s a perfectionist. and when I say that, I mean it as a complement because he will make sure everything is done correctly and that everything is as precisely as possibly can.
Over the years, me and friends (1 of them owns S & P auto on Andersen) have taken our parts to Bruce for all our machining (anything from flywheel resurfacing to head work). Bruce is an honest guy and is more than willing to take the time to chat with you and explain the whole process if you’d like to hear/​learn. He charges a very good price considering the amount of time and quality of work he puts in.
I recommend him with the highest regard and am pretty sure you won’t find a better machinist in Marin County.period.

I used Best Machine for a 4.3 liter Chevy V6 build for a jeep project. I had them surface my heads, do the valves, and install stiffer valve springs for the big cam I used. I also ordered parts through them for my motor. Everything went smooth and came out great. I also use them when I do my brakes (to turn down my rotors or drums) because its just easy. I drop my stuff off, he tells me when to come get them, and its done. Bruce has done a great job consistently.

Strange I thought there were more reviews of this place last time I looked.
Anyway, this is a great machine shop run by a great guy. I brought a number of items here for repair and the majority of the time he says they don’t need to be repaired and sends me on my way with the suggestion I spend the money on something for my wife. He also has lots of time to chat and offer you solutions. He has been very creative in fixing a number of things for me and when he has charged me he has been very very reasonable. He has stayed late on a Friday just to do work so I wouldn’t have to wait the weekend.
That’s about it. Great service, great work, honest and trustworthy guy who has been in the neighborhood for years. Can’t recommend him enough. Just wish the parking in the area was a bit easier to find.
Edit: Forgot to mention that a number of local auto shops I went to recommended this shop for machine work as well.

I’ve used machine shops in Marin for eight years and have found Bruce the premier machine shop in the county period. From brake rotor resurfacing to cylinder head repair, the craftmanship has been flawless for each and every challenge. Bruce has spent the money for fresh, state of the art equipment and has both the experience and knowledge to satisfy every machining need.
