About Wagamon Brothers

Wagamon Brothers (Minneapolis area) is the machine shop other shops use - Subaru cylinder heads get machined here, aftermarket Edelbrock carburetors leave with kickdown and cruise control fully operational, and bore-and-hone work comes back praised. Joey patches tires for people who work across the street, barely a wait.

Two dispute reviews about honesty on fix-vs-replace counsel and a valve guide job - weigh against decades of trade reputation. Minnesota has no emissions testing. Rated 4.4 across 320 reviews.

Thanks for your attention to detail. Brought in a couple of Subaru cylinder heads for machining and they found that a couple valves did not pass the test. Matt gave me a fair quote on repairs for valve seals and machining. Got the call that they were done and ready for pickup. Process was painless and cost came in less then quoted. Appreciate Matt and the team for a great service and quick turn around time.

I got a big nail in my tire, I work across the street from Wagamon, I hauled my tire over there and Joey patched it up for me, I barely had to wait at all and the price was beyond reasonable. Thank you Joey for your hard work and kindness, you saved my ass today!

I went from no Kickdown and Cruise Control to full operation on an aftermarket Edelbrock Carburator! Not only does it look clean, professional, and pretty, but the modifications work perfectly, unleashing the full potential of my drivetrian I was missing. Great service and more than reasonable- they priced this project affordable for the average guy. Highly recommended!

I had a good experience for a bore and hone, they were pleasant and had knowledgeable staff. Much improved from a decade old experience i had before, will use again. Edit: my block was sleeved for a performance application, so not your everyday engine work. Rotating assembly is balanced, will report back if it holds together!

Thank you Pat , Jeff and Bill. I talked to Jeff on the phone. Pat was there with him helping him answer all of my questions. I was so impressed I drove there to talk in person. Made appointment to have the engine pulled out of my truck to be rebuilt. We discussed pricing the best we could without having the engine out. Pat gave me a tour of the shop where the guys were busy building many engines. They made me feel so comfortable I decided to go with them . I inherited a truck from my Dad. This truck means so much to me. Jeff made several phone calls to me . Giving me suggestions to really bring this truck back to life. I won't lie it was expensive. You get what you pay for. The quality of work and the amount of time they put into my truck was amazing. The mechanic Bill who pulled it and put it back in is a man who pays attention to details. He took his time to make sure my truck was fixed right the first time. If anyone is in need of mechanical work call Jeff and Pat. You will not be disappointed.

I had five main issues with an engine and I was trying to determine if it was worth keeping. Water pump and starter were replaced but there is still antifreeze disappearing out the exhaust I believe and it now has a lot of blue smoke. The exhaust leak I can hold off on. I may not have put this much into this engine since they existed before the work was done.

The good: fair price, honest about work that didn't need to be done The meh: this is a no-frills joint, don't expect a comfy spot to sit and check your emails while your work gets done The bad: communication is significantly lacking. Updates were not forthcoming. They were already behind due to short staffing when I dropped off, but they didn't advise me of that until they had the car for 6 hours and hadn't started work yet. A simple brakes and suspension job scheduled to start Monday morning should have been done monday afternoon, The work was finished at the very end of the day on Wednesday. Conclusion: it may have been worth 500-700 more to get my vehicle back in 6 hours rather than 72

Brought my car in seeing if it was worth fixing or if I should just purchase something else, was hoping for some honesty being that I don’t know anything about cars. Quoted me 7k-8k then slowly went up from that to 10k. All I asked for was that the car was safe and operable. Got the work done. Come to find out a year later the entire frame is rusted out and everywhere else refuses to work on my car.. that would have been nice to know before paying them all this money for work to be done on a car with absolutely no structure..

Brought a head off of a diesel vehicle for valve guide replacement. I brought the valves still in the head (with springs removed). Magically upon disassembly, it was discovered that the valves had damage and needed replacement. I took excellent care in removal and delivery of the head and its components. I was very disappointed to hear that they had somehow damaged the valves upon removing them from the head yet they expected me to pay to replace them. When i picked up the head and the components they sat the head surface directly on the counter and I included a picture of the parts returned.. I would not recommend coming here.
