Cresta Warehouse Machine Shop

First off, they moved to 190B Industrial Way in Brisbane which is just slightly south of the San Francisco county line. I dropped off a pair of bike lights last week that I needed ¼−20 threads tapped into the CNC aluminum cases. The holes were tapped perfectly and I got them back the next day for only $ 20.

The only complaint I’ve seen about this business is their hours. That’s because that is the ONLY complaint you can have about this business. OUTSTANDING!!!
I am in the middle of assembling a screen printing press and the center bolt got stuck in a part due to ill advised hammering of the ends. I went to Cresta and in a matter of minutes he lopped of the flared ends of the bolt, removed the bolt, and sanded the ends down. He then gave me great advice about how to best assemble my press. With great relief and gratitude I asked for a price and he says ‘What do you think?’. Love that attitude. He offered $ 10. I gave him $ 20 because the man straight deserved it!
If you are an average joe like me with a random need for a machine shop, this is the place to go!!!
p. s. The hours are not random or unreasonable at all.

No idea how good his work is as. As I have tried 3 times to take work to here and they always seem to be closed during the posted business hours. On fridays doors are closed at 3. And they never answer the phone either to make an appointment. Going elsewhere for my needs

No BS here. Knowledgable, prompt and affordable machine service while you wait !
Needed to have my worn AC bearing pressed out and new pressed in, done in 5 minutes flat.
Will def. be back !

Awesome shop went there today got my stuff done in 1 hour awesome I guess my other Machine shop partner just lose my business… I’m a mobile mechanic and need my stuff quickly done to have my costumers back on the road. Thanks guys

I needed to rout out the threads of a couple of floor flanges for a Burning Man project, and we were leaving in a day. In desperation, I went to this shop. Ed, the owner, said sure, he could do that, and would call me on my cell when he was done. 10 minutes later, while I was at the hardware store around the corner, he called and said he was done. The flanges worked great, and I was out just $ 10. This place definitely saved our project, and I highly recommend it.

The address for this place is a little off. 5050 Mission will get you there, but the entrance is around the corner, about two doors down, on Seneca. Ed, the owner, could not be a nicer guy. I went in there with some little stuff, «Can you drill some holes there; can you cut this here; can you sand this down there?» and he did the job immediately, did it well, saved me hours if I had done this on my own, and charged me a very fair price for the jobs. This is a «man-​space,» complete with girly calendars, cylinder heads scattered around, and aging but reliable equipment. In short, what else does one need? Fast, friendly, reasonably-​priced, professional service. Highly recommended.

Open 8 – 12 and 1 – 4:30 only. And strictly. Don’t even think of showing up at 4:33 on a tuesday, or let’s say 3:45 on a friday. In both cases you will find the door locked and nobody inside. Ask me how I know.
