Our shop

A shop designed around the work

PDM is a full-service engine rebuilding and machine shop built to serve automotive, truck, agricultural and industrial repair professionals across western Ohio and central Indiana — the region from north of Dayton south to Cincinnati and west to Indianapolis. Our operation was designed around one goal: delivering efficient, high-quality, full-service engine rebuilding from start to finish.

From shop design to machine selection, PDM's process is structured to provide the proper environment for each critical stage of rebuilding: teardown and cleaning, precision machining, and final assembly. Our dedicated work areas help ensure engines and components move through each stage with the care, cleanliness and accuracy they require.

Our approach

Inspect carefully, communicate clearly, and machine precisely to meet or exceed original manufacturer specifications.

Quality

Every PDM rebuild uses premium-quality, first-line engine parts and gaskets. Quality is never compromised. Our experienced rebuilding specialists take great care to restore engines to original specifications — and, in many cases, to specifications that meet or exceed original performance standards.

Environmental responsibility

Engine rebuilding involves components that can carry oil, coolant, grease and other contaminants, making responsible shop practices essential. PDM is committed to operating in a manner that protects the environment and complies with applicable environmental requirements. Our cleaning and degreasing systems are closed-loop and self-contained, helping reduce waste disposal needs and minimise the potential for environmental contamination.

BBB Accredited

Handing over an engine is a big decision, and you should not have to take our word for how we do business. PDM is a BBB Accredited Business. To earn accreditation, a business is reviewed by the Better Business Bureau and commits to its Standards for Trust: advertise honestly, tell the truth, be transparent, honor promises, be responsive to customers, safeguard privacy and act with integrity. That commitment is held by an independent third party, and our BBB profile is public, so you can check it yourself before you call.
