Good running engine
Ran into a few difficulties along the way with the fuel injection system but they did only charge for the new injectors but diagnose was included. Rebuilt my Yukon truck engine and it runs as it should. No issues so far. Thanks guys.

A professional business calls people names and makes false accusations.
Unreal, we came to spend over 5K to get our engine rebuilt and you say we stole an impact from you … and you have it on camera? We did NOT in fact steal anything from you- you stole our time and memories. We asked to see this said video in which you say we stole from you and you will not provide this. Why? Because we in fact did NOT steal from you. To say I am a BITCH is in fact… TRUE. You lead us along for 8 months with wild stories and excuses. But to say I am a Tweaker?! Is mind blowing. I am a large girl and in fact do not TWEAK. I am a 50 year old grandmother and not a tweaker. Name calling is so high school. State facts. Like I Am A BITCH.
You are completely unwell mind, body and soul. Maybe if you stopped smoking pot in your shop you could actually get your work completed in the time frame you quote and you wouldn’t forget where parts and engines and Impacts are.
You need to just stop. You did us dirty and we have moved on. No need to call names like kids. Don’t hide behind GOD when you are not a holy man. I just don’t want other people to be screwed over like we have. Period. I wish I had seen your reviews before my husband took our “shitty engine” down to you. I wish we never took our money to you. We lost out in this transaction. Money can never get back…. MEMORIES.
Now - may your god bless you

answer to recent questions
yeah so that crazy b##### I have her husband on camera putting my milwaukee impact in the back of his truck. I feel like the response should be scary because she is a typical tweaker and hopefully something will scare them enough that they stop stealing from others to support their habit. now, this guy, brett clements, installed his motor his-self and failed to follow oem procedures, was determined some time ago-months ago-that he was the point of failure for his motor, I have offered to fix it here, I have been denied the opportunity to help him, and do not understand the reasoning there... have a blessed day

Trash motor, 6 months late, now blown.
I had gotten into contact with Joe about a L86 reman build motor with the DOD delete via camshaft and lifter, said 4-6 weeks it would be built. Fast forward 4 almost 6 months later just received the motor with no paperwork on it. Been in contact about why it took so long so he extended my warranty out to 3 years. Have the motor installed and ran fine for almost a year, started to hear a tick or knock, contacted him about it and he wants me to ship my truck from Wyoming to his shop for diagnosis. Or pay to have motor pulled and he will go through it. He said because I didn’t go by his warranty or break in procedures (which were not provided) I did the standard what my mechanic did with his 6.2 that he installed and had no issues with. Now this motor is blown. Any person in their right mind would not want to ship their vehicle to him at owners cost when motor was 4 months late. How long is my vehicle going to sit at his shop? Im so unhappy with this experience and from what I can see from majority of other people are unhappy as well. I also ordered extra parts for this swap as advised from my mechanic and gaskets. Also had vehicle tuned and now I’m sitting with another blown motor, unknown as to what the issue is now, but to me seems like it is a bad rod bearing which under his description he goes through and does all that during assembly. To me, this work seems cheap, shady, and novice work done by a guy trying to make a quick buck, not to mention his demeanor over texts, quoting “ Not a single engine company provides all the installation instructions and information that I do. Because I am the best. Now, let me know how you would like to proceed and I will be glad to help you. Thank you.” although polite. Still can’t send any information, and also only sent the information to a completely wrong email address. No paper copy with motor. So my plan is to rip this motor back out. Send it on a pallet and get my money back. There’s far more professional and reputable shops closer to my area that actually have experience in building and rebuilding quality motors with better customer service. Overall. I wouldn’t recommend sending or let alone spending any time or money with Joe. Not to mention I never heard him mention any “techs” working on the motor. I hate to down this guy and his business but when this motor gets torn down the workmanship will show how much experience this clown has. I wouldn’t let this guy near another vehicle of mine in my life.

Run .. don’t do it
Not even worth 1 star. But it will not allow me to leave it empty.
This transaction has been a nightmare from day one. I just don’t want anyone else to have to go through what we have been through the last 10 months (we were given an estimate of 14 days.)
Please beware of this establishment. Everything has been a disaster. If he couldn’t handle this job he should have just informed us. Now that we have pressured him to complete our engine his unprofessional demeanor is very evident. He is now threatening and taunting us. He uses crude language and has a harsh demeanor when he can’t remember where they misplaced our parts and what the progress was on our engine. We always had to text him for updates that went without responses. Only the brush off and stories on top of stories with more excuses. This is NOT HOW A PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS should treat paying customers.Now he is calling my husband a thief?! My husband had to finish putting on parts to somewhat complete the job and get the engine back home. My husband had to work with Joe to get it where we could bring it back home. We do not steal. We just wanted our engine fixed and to enjoy our days on the lake. NOTHING was stolen from him. If anything he has taken time and memories being made from us for the 10 month long run around he gave us. I am beside myself with his actions and threats. To send us an Invoice saying our warranty is now void until we pay you $1500 is unbelievable. Not very Godly by the way Joe. You might find your tool around your weed tray in the shop. Not professional to be doing while working on engines. If I had known, we would have never have done business with you and BIG 3. Please don’t do business here. Just don’t do it.
Update: He sees the review and calls non stop and sends more threats. I get unwell vibes from this gentleman. Not cool

1 yr 5 months and 10days ago he got my suv!
It's a engine swap. There's no way in hell this takes this long. Your not building a Shelby roadster. Not rewiring a rocket. You came recommended by BTR. Yall he got our escalade march 3rd 2023. For a 6.2 dod delete, cam n bolt ons. There's no excuse. You say it wasn't in great condition. Hell never went to the shop. Now it will never leave the shop cause he won't finish it!!!!!!

free transmission fix
fixed my transmission at no charge except for the charge for the transmission programmer. I put a new transmission and did no programming. Joe at big three put me with his guys and they fixed it now no problem. I need my truck for painting and thank you for fixing.

Long wait time
Long wait time but the engine and tranny package looks and runs really well. Claimed to have issues and took a long time. No problems with the result, overall satisfied but communication could improve
