Fixed my problem very efficiently

Nelson removed a stuck wheel bearing seal from the axle shaft, and put on the new seal in record time, interrupting his day to take of our roadside emergency at a super affordable fee. He was kind and caring and did an excellent job. I'd recommend him any day; this dude is OG steam-punk inspo, the real deal. Thank you Nelson!

I’ve used him twice and had good experiences. The gentleman turn my rotors for two different vehicles and did an excellent job. He was very prompt and called me both times to let me know the work was complete. Also very reasonable priced. It’s so hard to find someone with actual machining experience and the skill set to do this type of work. Will be using him again
