In Oakland, shops are busiest on Monday mornings and before holiday weekends, so a mid-week appointment gets a car seen faster. Labor rates across California vary by neighborhood and by shop type, from small independents to dealership service bays, and mobile mechanics now cover many routine jobs in the driveway. Before authorizing a repair, ask for the estimate in writing, whether the shop warranties parts and labor (12 months / 12,000 miles is common, some offer more), and whether it can provide a loaner or a shuttle. Check the listing for hours, the makes the shop works on and its Google rating, then call ahead, since walk-in capacity is limited at smaller shops.
The business lists hours on 5 days of the week. Typical hours are 7:30 amβ4:30 pm. Note that it does not open on Saturday, Sunday. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. The listed phone number is (510) 261-1590. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. Its website is americancylinderheads.com, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.
Its Google rating stands at 3.4 out of 5 from 41 reviews, which is below average for the category; consider the recent reviews carefully before visiting.
Oakland is in California, on the West Coast, where the climate ranges from foggy coast to hot inland valleys, wildfire season can affect air quality in late summer, and traffic is the main thing to plan around. Traffic in Oakland peaks on weekday mornings and afternoons, so allow extra time then. Addresses read from the street number up to the city, state abbreviation and five-digit ZIP code; the map link on this page shows the exact spot.

The energy there was awesome staff were friendly and helpful knowledgeable with great insight I pulled up ahead of a another car and brought it to him I noticed that the head had been firing but still needed to be pressure tested and the tech at the shop also realized that the head had been firing the small things matter when a mechanic brings something to another mechanic anyway big shout out and thank you to American cylinder heads much appreciation from Mike the mobile mechanic ππβ€οΈβοΈ

After 3,150 miles the head went bad. Warranty denied. Pay extra and get a good rebuilt. Donβt waste time and money

Warning: Avoid American Cylinder Head at all costs! They promise warranty coverage but fail to back up their work. I've had two cylinder heads fail within 2500 miles, and both warranty claims were denied. The company makes excuses and lies to get out of honoring their warranty. The owner is unresponsive, and employees cover for her. Don't fall for their false promises. Terrible experience, and I won't be returning." NO WARRANTY OFFERED HERE. THEIR WORK NEVER COMES OUT GOOD. They offer warranty, but itβs fake!!! Picture proves Second diagnostic at a different shop. A crack that was fixed before on that head from the shop was not done correctly, it was still leaking. Worst place ever

If you value your equipment don't come to them. Not even 2,800 miles and their rebuild head failed. I purchased all new piston, liner, head gasket direct from Freightliner ect. Horrible service took over 1 month to get feed back and Customer service was the worse. Do not deal with them. I have all my paperwork and miles to prove everything.

I took my block in to have the deck resurfaced, and to have my heads resurfaced and rebuilt. After 5 calls, and a week and a half of trying to just get an estimate, they finally told me it was going to cost me $900. It took 3 weeks for them to finally finish the job, and when I got there to pick up my parts, the block was covered in surface rust, grease, and fingerprints. I had to wait another hour for them to get rid of the surface rust, and the grease and fingerprints were still there. As a mechanic myself, I regret taking my parts here. Look elsewhere unless you have a couple weeks to wait with no communication from the shop, and feel like cleaning your parts after you get them back. I will NEVER go back here again....
