Jeff Watts is the owner.
Jeff does high quality work. His services included rebuilding wheel cylinders, master cylinders, power brake boosters, makes brake lines ect. He relined my cylinders with Stainless Steel liners and workmanship is "Outstanding". This guy has a small machine shop just set up to resleave parts. I know other brake shops from all around the country send stuff to Jeff to rebuild. I was quoted cost of $200 or more from other brake shops who intern just send the parts over to Jeff to rebuild. I paid Jeff $180 for each rear wheel cylinder and 130 each for the front wheel cylinder. Not exactly cheep, but the parts are better than new from a spec perspective.
I recommend letting Jeff disassemble the parts since he has the equipment to do so without damaging the original parts. I also plan to have my Hydrovac rebuilt by Jeff. He has access to all the parts and if the parts do not exist he can make them.
