Happy/Happy customer OLYMPIA WA.
Hot Rod Company is awesome professional group of engine builders. Just purchased a custom ford 302 v8 and my neighbor has purchased a chevy 350 custom build.
I have been a motor head over 50 years, the quality work of this company outstanding . Customer service is great. Jim the owner does a excellent job to keep his customers happy. After 20 years in the U.S.
Air Force. I put my hobby cars. Went into the car business. Customer service is number one, but quickly found out you can not make every customer happy, no matter how hard you try.
There will always be that 3%-5% out there taking advantage of every possible angle to SCAM your business!! Jim and his crew took care of my every need and concern and went out of there way to exceed my expectations. Not trying to fluff up Jim and his crew, if I would have any issues with company you would hear about.
I have had some issues with other engine builders, this crew is awesome and professional. Happy motor head in Olympia WA.

Dude ..your not getting anything...get lost....my contract covers us from giving you anything..
Jim your just going to hit thumbs down. No response Jim.
Just so you know I haven’t written anything on this site about your company for about two months or so. I’ll always use my name Andre so you know it’s me I don’t need to hide. I just want you to fix the problems I’m have with the new motor I purchase from you.
Not here to bad mouth you or your company. If you read my other post closely I’ve stated facts only..
Hello, my name is Ryan and I am the owner of Bloch & Shelton Garage. I am very disappointed to see this negative review posted.
We are the shop that is installing this motor for Mr. Booker. We did not personally purchase this motor from them but our 1st time customer Mr. Booker did.
I had the pleasure of speaking with Jim @ The Hot Rod Company this morning regarding this issue and he informed me that this customer had called him to purchase this motor under our name saying that he worked for our company (which he does NOT and we were NOT aware of) Jim @ The Hot Rod Company was very pleasant to talk to over the phone and I can tell you that the motor he shipped and sold to this customer is absolutely beautiful and arrived to our business with zero damage. There craftsmanship looks to be very good with awesome attention to detail.
Jim I am very sorry that there is an issue between you and this customer I truly hope he makes right by it and gets it resolved. We don't do very many hot rods these days as we have shifted our focus towards fleet maintenance and repairs but if we ever do we will be sure to stay in touch with Jim and his crew at The Hot Rod Company.
I help write this....I think it works
yes and all of the anonymous responses are you Andre booker....
This is a lie just like the rest of your post. we spoke with you on the phone today and two days ago, we have also been in contact with your mechanic, If you have anymore question let us know..
They did reply. And thanks for contacting me.
So we’ve had the power steering pump break. Jim did have a new given to me, now the lifter are knocking loud on this new motor, Jim. and this is in the break in period b4 the 100 mile mark! not to mention the over heating issues I’ve been talking with Tj about.
I’ve done everything he suggested went to 165 psi thermostat two1800 cfm fans went form a new four row all aluminum radiator to a three row all aluminum radiator. And it’s still over heating Jim. So if I understand you want me to pay out of my pocket aging to fix another defective part/parts on this new motor I purchased from you . So I should pay for the lifter to be removed & replaced?
To Jim credit he said he would send out new parts, but he’s getting them from his supplier for free under ( warranty ) KEY WORD!!! This engine is still under warranty too!.... so ur not out of pocket any money! And I already had to pay for power steering pump to be removed & replaced, radiator removal & reinstall higher cfm fans.
Now lifter & your saying install new water pump too for heating issues. Jim at what point do you step up and stand behind your PRODUCT !!! and say I’ve got this you received a BAD ONE SORRY ? !!!
I Just want what I paid for no more no less. In real money that can be spent & used. I just want A beautiful engine that works FYI....
Jim not sure if TJ expressed this I’ve only had the car away from the shop twice and both time it was like for 5 hours and most of that time was waiting for a tow truck. I have tow slips two verify statement...
You get NOTHING.....NOTHING.......you gave me a bad review and hurt my feelings......you get NOTHING
Wow Jim I hope the whole world see’s this post so they know just what type of person you are and how you run your business. I will copy & pasted this on eBay ..
and the better business bureau I can’t believe ur upset for me tell the truth not one thing I said was a lie or negative about you as a person...
you’ll be hearing from me soon. Be blessed and thank you for your post....
thank you andre booker for posting false reviews..
This company sucks
The product looks great but performance wise it’s a pice of bull.... *** they make these claims of 440hp or 520hp....
lies you’ll be lucky if you get 200hp.... and if you speak to Jim he’ll tell you that you should have paid the 450 to them to dyno the engine... this place is a scam....
spend your hard earned money elsewhere. I’m sure you’ll get better service and better product
I would love to be involved in class action lawsuit!

YOU DECIDE
We filed a review for this company as everyone should share their experience and findings. Soon after our phones blew up with calls from this company asking why the review..Then we were informed that the ENGINE and TRANSMISSION that we ordered and paid for in full and was enroute to us was going to be cancelled and sent back to the Hot Rod Company.. Here is a text we received from them....
We will refund you 100% if you remove all negative feedback if you do not want to remove the feedback we will still refund you but we’re going to charge our normal 25% restocking fee let us know what you decide.....
After this text we informed them we would forward this text to the credit card company.....they then sent this text....
Well we’ll see about that we’ve done nothing wrong it says right in our agreement that all cells are final we will refund you but that’s not gonna happen until the negative feedback is taken down and I have your signature on the invoice agreeing to all those terms and conditions have a good day......
So They are saying you can buy their product, pay for it in full.. then they can cancel it and keep 25% of YOUR MONEY......does anyone see anything WRONG with this.......BEWARE people
- Thinking they can buy 5 star reviews misleading

minute ago I shared my information and this user hacked by computer I’m in contact with the site administrator to see if we can get information about the post a warning to all of you out there if you want them to *** your computer that’s a great way for them to get your information
ok little Jimmy....everyone knows
Nope all the negative reviews come from one single person named Robert Morrison a.k.a. Andre Booker just depends on which name he’s using at the time he has a known fraud person that likes to leave negative feedback and then call people up and try to get paid to take it off be where people Robert Morris and Andre Booker are the true crooks
You list 2 names then you say its one person.....your way stupid.....
sounds like one of those customers that is impossible to please.... sorry to you guys at the hot rod company looks like you have a loose cannon on your hands.
thats the problem with the internet these days just.... opinions are like *** everybody has one!
Yes , your right, AND Cecil Roby in WA. Is the BIGGEST...
Hopefully everybody out there says that Mr. Robert Morrison from overhaul contracting is leaving all of these negative feedbacks for no reason he has a malicious business owner that got kicked off of you ship.com for being on trusted transporter how can we Trust his review that he’s posting on here a good business owner would not do that to another business without giving them the opportunity to fix an issue if there really was one so the real question here is can we trust overhaul contracting in Alberta Canada

383 Stroker motor
They built my motor to my specifications including the color so that it matched the color of the car, we then added power steering pump and air conditioning pump as I am going to add vintage air later. We took a look at the cam versus the rear end gearing and decided on a full roller cam for drivability and able to drive long distances with no problems also added a 700r4 transmission and converter to the package.
These guys will really work with you on your build they really want to get it right the first time and I liked that about them they also keep you informed on the build and when is expected to be completed and shipped. It arrived as advertised very happy with how it turned out.
- I like the whole experiance

Bad business
The prices this company post on eBay are fake. Jim won't honor any of the prices. I hope he builds his engines A lot better then he conducts his business.
Funny u’d Say that the answer to that question is not at all they won’t even run well enough to get Through the break you I’ve had the water pump fail, power steering pump fail, air compressor failed, the valve are knocking, this company is a joke & a scam.... the only thing they do well over at hot rod company is take good pictures.

Terrible business
When I first spoke with Jim he made me feel as if I was dealing with a professional, passionate person that was living his dream and helping others with there’s. However, after he took my almost $5000 and I started to have issues (wrong oil pan, leaking intake manifold etc.) Jim changed.
After asking how these issues get taken care of under warranty, jim stated “we don’t pay other mechanics to fix issues (no matter ho minor), nor do we pay for shipping to resolve the issues. In essence, the warranty isn’t worth the paper it’s written on. Needing a simple question answered while in front of my mechanic (in NC), I tried calling Jim to get a simple but real important question answered while my mechanic was trying to diagnose yet ANOTHER issue. No answer from “passionate” Jim.
I left multiple messages, texts and emails and got crickets. Finally (while at a performance), Jim calls and I texted that I’d call him back soon. What happened after that was unfathomable! He tried blowing up my phone 10 times in a row at midnight and then when he didn’t get me the following.
Don’t ever do business with this man as he is a thief and very demeaning.
This is not someone you want to spend your hard earned money with. His total disregard and disrespect for paying customers is on acceptable.
class action....send your information to suehrc1@***.com you will be contacted ....
We bought a engine and transmission from these people...we paid for it in full...they shipped it then the next day they had it returned to themselves.....no refund ....this company is a SCAM...SCAM BEWARE

5 star
We have gotten several engine from them for our shop and had no issues and the customer service is always top notch.
how do you spell your last name ? ***
Morrison
Confused
Had to take intake off it was leaking and had to replace distributor he sold me with the engine and never responded to problems buyer beware.
Same starter is $84.50 at JEGS and sold me a $50 fuel pump you can buy on Amazon for $18.99. Now the intake is leaking anti freeze.
Not happy at all, I’ve spent a lot of money and shouldn’t have these issues. After I received the engine found out in the paperwork to qualify for the warranty is almost impossible which should have been told up front about all the stipulations.
- Talking to jim until he stopped responding
- Problems with product
