There are reputable shops around most areas. It helps tremendously to get out to car events, cruises, and hang around like minded people. The dragstrip is the best place, and just see who is using who.
That's how I found Paul. A forum member reached out to me, we talked, met in person, and discussed why Paul was better. When you live in the 3rd or 4th largest city in the nation with nearly 5 million people, in a classic car rich state and machine shops at every turn, and yet drive to another town for machine work, it says something. After I had tried a couple of shops in Phoenix, I went to Paul and never looked back. I could go on and on about why and what etc...
It's not that hard to look up accomplishments as well. Engine Master Challenge usually has the same big players at the top. Shops like BES, or Jon Kaase. Paul has been in that event as well. Other fields of accomplishments that says a lot about shops too if one cares to look.
