Jaime is the owner of CAMS automotive and it's a "mom and pops" operation. He has rebuilt engines from the mundane Chevy 350 to uber exotic Jaguar engines.
He is a super nice guy who stands behind his work. He is more than "fair" on his pricing and will get your engine back to you on it's deadline ( I've caught him sleeping in his shop to finish work)
Give him a pm or stop by his shop in the Foothills. He will take the time to speak to you about your needs.





ps. Throw him some business so he can buy some more Jeep parts for his XJ!

I highly recommend D&W for any engine rebuilding or performance work, I have a lot of friends that work there and have never had a problem with there finished products.
I've even been know to hang out there with the 4x4 from time to time. ;)

There is a badger, but he is alive and running on a wheel in the middle of that engine.  That is one angry badger!  The other badger is the one that came out of it.
I just can’t resist a good mud hole!  🤦
