About Competition Racing Engines
Competition Racing Engines is an auto machine shop in Tallahassee, Florida. It is listed at 1905 S Monroe St, Tallahassee, FL 32301, which places it among the local businesses of Tallahassee that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by.
In Tallahassee, shops are busiest on Monday mornings and before holiday weekends, so a mid-week appointment gets a car seen faster. Labor rates across Florida vary by neighborhood and by shop type, from small independents to dealership service bays, and mobile mechanics now cover many routine jobs in the driveway. Before authorizing a repair, ask for the estimate in writing, whether the shop warranties parts and labor (12 months / 12,000 miles is common, some offer more), and whether it can provide a loaner or a shuttle. Check the listing for hours, the makes the shop works on and its Google rating, then call ahead, since walk-in capacity is limited at smaller shops.
Hours are published for 4 days a week. On most of those days it is open 8:30 am–5 pm. Note that it does not open on Wednesday, Saturday, Sunday. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. The listed phone number is (850) 224-0350. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone.
Its Google rating stands at 3.2 out of 5 from 21 reviews, which is below average for the category; consider the recent reviews carefully before visiting.
Tallahassee is in Florida, in the Southeast, where summers are long, hot and humid, winters are mild, and afternoon thunderstorms and the hurricane season from June to November can change plans at short notice. Getting around Tallahassee is easiest by car; street parking is metered in busy downtown areas, and most suburban businesses have their own lot. Ride-share apps such as Uber and Lyft operate across Florida's larger cities, and public transit varies from extensive to minimal.

This guy will lie to you and tell you one price.And when you pick up your part, it will be double that price. And he takes double the time.Then he tells you definitely not recommended to take any machine props.Tiered to get work done.

Worst experience ever he lied to us and charged us for a service that was not done. My engine block wasn't washed or honed or bored like he charged me. Took several weeks to get anything done then was told my block was bad when guess what it wasn't took engine to another person and they said it was perfectly fine. Do not ever use this company. I was taken advantage of and he took money for services not rendered.

Worst machine shop I have ever had the bad luck to give my business to. Charged over 300 for a simple wash and hone, took them three weeks, then I couldn’t pick it up because of their awful hours and opening dates. I would STRONGLY SUGGEST you NEVER take your engine or cylinder head here. Tallahassee Cylinder Heads will accomplish everything they can and more.

I called a week before I came in asking how much it would be to clean and mill cylinder heads. I was told $25 per head to clean and $45 per head to mill. Apparently fro $35 they will belt sand heads. So you can see, without knowing if either of my heads needed milling, I assumed I was looking at $150 max. When I was called and notified my heads were done, you can imagine my dismay when I was told the total would be near $300. Apparently instead of using a straight edge and feeler gauge, they pressure test to check for straightness, not something I was asked about, but I was charged $90 for. Why the manufacturers standard of .002" per 6" is no used, I have no idea. To add insult to injury there were huge globs of debris and gunk falling off the heads as I removed them from the bag. I don't know what they were cleaned with, but I could have accomplished the same (in less time) by filling my tub with simple green for less money. All anyone had to do was pick a few large deposits off so the head would be completely cleaned, but this attention to detail wasn't given. If I did it all over again, I would spend $100 on my own straight edge and compare factory specs, clean the heads at
