Standard of Work Was Amazing

The experience we had with Southside Cylinder Heads was without doubt first class. Nathan and his team are very professional in every sense of the word. Their attention to detail and standard of work was amazing. Technically our vehicle has never sounded better.

Southside Cylinder Heads kept us informed and consulted throughout the process. Then there was the after-service care and the follow-up call. There are mechanical workshops out there and then there is Southside Cylinder Heads. Absolutely recommended.
