The engine machine work most shops have forgotten how to do — rebuilt, reconditioned, and machined to exact tolerances by one man who's been doing it right since 2004.
"I learned about Carter's through friends that swore by him and how he knew the lost art of engine machine work… I give 5 stars to Tom of Carter's Automotive because I am a builder and know what to expect from engine machining. Well done Tom and thank you."Corey Canzoneri — Google Review
Carter's Automotive is Tom Carter — a machinist who still does the work that most shops outsource or turn away. Engine rebuilding, cylinder head work, block machining. The kind of precision craftsmanship customers drive from across North Idaho to find.
Tom has been at it since 2004 and every review says the same thing: he knows what he's doing, he's fair, and he takes pride in his work. When the dealer says "replace the engine," Tom says "let's fix it."
All I have to say is I wish Tom was younger again so he could provide his quality work for another 20 years, he knows what he is doing and does an excellent work. I learned about Carter's through friends that swore by him and how he knew the lost art of engine machine work.Corey Canzoneri
