What we do
Machine work, start to finish
A complete array of automotive performance services — state-of-the-art quality at a great price.
Cleaning & Mag
Every job starts clean. We tank, wash and magnetic-particle inspect your parts so cracks turn up on the bench instead of in the car.
3 operations →
Block
Torque-plate boring and honing, align honing and decking — the machine work that sets ring seal and squares the short block.
6 operations →
Crank
Crankshaft grinding and polishing held to spec, with journals measured and reported before they go back in the box.
2 operations →
Piston & Rod
Rods resized and pins fit so your rotating assembly goes together with the clearances the builder actually asked for.
3 operations →
Balancing
Rotating assemblies balanced on our own equipment — smoother idle, less bearing wear and more usable RPM.
1 operation →
Cylinder Head
The deepest part of our shop: multi-angle valve jobs, guide and seat work, and head machining for whatever valvetrain you are running.

Our story
Same corner. Same family. Since 1972.
Arlington Automotive Machine Shop has been operating since 1972, when it was originally founded by Ed Adams. His son, Eddy Adams, joined him in 1978, making it a father-and-son business.
The company has continued to provide fair, experienced and excellent service to its customers in the great city of Arlington, Texas for over 50 years.

A new father and sontake the reins
Father and son partners Randy and Ty Fuller of Fuller Motor Sports acquired Arlington Automotive Machine Shop in August 2026.
54 years after Ed Adams opened the doors — and 48 after his son Eddy joined him at the bench — the shop passes to another father-and-son team.

Testimonials
What customers say
“These guys are awesome, and worth the wait. They did all the machine work on my first engine rebuild. They were knowledgeable, helpful, and did an amazing job.”
Andrew Krzemien
“Took my cylinder heads to this shop on a recommendation from a few guys at work. Best advice I ever got. Repair was minor but still couldn't believe the cost. About half of what I expected. Communication was great, called like he said he would. Would rate 6 stars if possible!”
Jeff Behl
“What can I say, these boys are world class. Great customer service and they were more than willing to help me bring my Land Rover block back to life. Most shops don't want to mess with Land Rovers. They know what they're doing.”
