Just a little north of you. Exit 109 on the Parkway. Greens Performance Center, Red Bank 732-842-4383. These guys are excellent mechanics. It's worth the trip. Their shop looks like a car show half the time. Ask for Vinnie he is the owner. If you have a problem they can fix it.

Good info.
Are they a general mechanic or do they build engines?
I'm looking for a good local engine shop in Jersey that won't make me broke.
Proformance is too $$$$.

They are EXPERT engine builders. They do both. My father in law retired from his gas station/mechanic shop. I was referred to Vinnies by a car collector freind. Told my father in law the shop was filled with carftsmans truck, plumber, carpenters and all forms of hot rod, exotic cars. Asked him what that told him about the shop. He said guys who make a living with there rigs need reliable repairs on time, the guys with the $50,000. $100,000. cars by word of mouth find the best shop there is. They don't take chances with the specialty cars. These guys clearly do very good engine work. If you want I'll introduce you to the shop. They build/install engines all the time. If you want to call me send me an im and I'll give you my cell phone number.
