On this episode of Rottler Featured Series, join us in El Paso, Texas at Mike & Son's Machine Shop.

Family owned and operated, Mike & Sons is an automotive-specific machine shop, focusing on engine rebuilds for everything from daily grocery getters to classic cars and performance work.

Machinist Chris Palumbo told us that as a family operation, every engine they work on they treat with care as if it were there own personal engine. To get the quality of work they demand, Chris and his father-in-law, Mike Garcia, rely on a quartet of Rottler machines including an SG9 seat & guide machine, an HP6A (precursor to the H85AX) hone, an EM69ATC engine machining center, and a classic Rottler F2.

Chris tells us he needs precision to maintain modern standards and the EM69ATC delivers. It has "endless capabilities," he said.

Mike backed him up on the quality of the Rottler equipment too. "Once you see the quality of the work the machine turns out… when I saw the first cut Chris made with the [SG9], I said 'I should have bought this a long time ago," he said.

If you're down in El Paso and you need engine work, you can be sure that Mike & Sons will deliver. Check out their story!
