Precision Engine Work in Waxhaw, NC
Complete Automotive and Diesel Engine Machining Services
Engine work often requires several machining and repair processes to come together correctly. Instead of limiting our capabilities to one narrow type of project, we offer a broad selection of services for automotive and diesel engine applications.
Our services include Custom Engine Building, Race Engine Building, High Performance Engine Building, Engine Rebuilding, Diesel Engine Machining & Rebuilding, Cylinder Head Machining & Repair, Engine Block Machining, Engine Boring & Honing, Engine Sleeving & Block Repair, Engine Decking & Resurfacing, Aluminum Welding & Engine Component Repair, and Cars, Trucks & Diesel Engine Services.
This range allows us to work with customers whose goals can vary significantly. One project may involve restoring an engine for dependable everyday use, while another may require specialized machining for a race or performance build. Diesel applications bring their own requirements, and damaged engine components can require machining or repair before a build can move forward.
Whatever brings you to our shop, we take the time to understand the project and determine the work required.

In Business Since
Custom, Race, and High Performance Engine Building
A custom engine should be built around its intended application. At South Shop Auto Machine LLC, we provide Custom Engine Building for customers who need an engine prepared around specific project requirements rather than a standard replacement approach.
We also provide Race Engine Building and High Performance Engine Building for applications where the details of the engine build matter even more. Performance projects depend on the relationship between components, machining, clearances, preparation, and assembly. Our broad machining capabilities allow us to support these projects with services designed to prepare the engine and its components for the intended build.
Whether you are working on a street performance vehicle, race application, truck, or another custom project, we can discuss what you are building and the machine work involved.
Engine Rebuilding and Diesel Engine Services
Replacing an entire engine is not the only path forward when internal wear or damage occurs. Engine Rebuilding can provide a practical solution when an engine and its components are suitable for restoration.
Our Engine Rebuilding services focus on the machine work and preparation needed to bring an engine back into proper condition for its intended use. Depending on the project, rebuilding may involve work to the engine block, cylinder heads, cylinder bores, deck surfaces, or other components.
We also specialize in Diesel Engine Machining & Rebuilding. Diesel engine projects require the same commitment to accurate machining and careful preparation, with the added demands associated with diesel applications. We work with diesel engine components as part of our broad service range for cars, trucks, and diesel engines.
If you are unsure what your engine requires, contact us with the details of your project. We can discuss the work you need and provide a free quote based on the scope of the job.
Precision Machine Work for Engine Blocks and Cylinder Heads
Engine blocks and cylinder heads depend on accurately prepared surfaces and dimensions. Our machine shop services address many of the areas that become important during rebuilding, repair, and performance projects.
Cylinder Head Machining & Repair is available when a cylinder head requires professional machine work or repair before returning to service. We also provide Engine Block Machining for projects requiring block preparation and machining.
Our Engine Boring & Honing service allows us to prepare cylinder bores as required for the engine project. When damaged or worn cylinders require another approach, Engine Sleeving & Block Repair may provide a way to restore the affected area.
Engine Decking & Resurfacing is another important part of our machining capabilities. Proper surface preparation is critical when components must seal and fit correctly during assembly.
By providing these services through one automotive machine shop, we can support projects ranging from individual component work to more involved engine builds and rebuilds.
Aluminum Welding and Engine Component Repair
Not every engine component needs to be immediately discarded because it has been damaged. Some projects can benefit from specialized repair work, which is why our capabilities include Aluminum Welding & Engine Component Repair.
Repair requirements vary depending on the component, location, extent of damage, and intended application. We evaluate the work involved and determine whether the requested repair is appropriate for the project.
Our ability to combine engine machining with component repair gives customers another resource when dealing with damaged parts or more complicated engine projects.
