Default Machine shops

Anyone else having problems finding a machine shop that will do quality work? There is one of two or three problems:

1. They tell you when it will be done. When you call, they have no idea what you are talking about, then they remember and say, oh yea It will be done on Thursday, Thursday they say it will be done Friday and this game goes on for about a month or so

2. They work is not done properly!

3. You take them a nice 4 bolt block with main caps and you never see your block again!!!! I learned one thing by this, keep your main caps at home!!!!!!!!!! With out them they cant keep your block in there secret storage room!!!!

I live in a big city and there are about 5 "Good" machine shops, haha

I have no problem paying, i would pay double if it was done right and on time.

But now i am out of sbc block's because first they bored my block too big and then they Lost my second block???? I need a 638 casting 87-95 block honed to 4.030-4.031.... and some one to do it right!!!

And to make it worse, my one week motor job has now been Four weeks and i dont even have a block.
