Default has anyone used Blaine's motor company for machine work?

I was looking for a local machine shop that does good work, and a guy I know said he takes his lsx core motors to them for cam bearings hone, inspection ect. anybody used them or know someone who used them? I know of a good one out is springtown thru a friend, but just shopping.

their machine work may not be bad but i hate that place and will never give them another cent of my money. i bought one engine from them and it was junk before i ever got it in the car, they wouldnt do anything about it so i bought another motor from them and it was junk after about 100 miles and again they wouldnt stand behind their work. i had the same problem with ammco transmissions with the same car, an 88 camaro with a 2.8 and 700r4 there's no way i could have hot rodded that car if i wanted to. LOL
