You assume that the quality of boring is always the same and not depending on price ?

In most cases I have found that assuming higher price = higher quality has not been true. I will take personal recommendations into higher consideration

That being said. Is there any specific questions I should be asking to assure I am getting a quality job?

I don't say that a higher price is a better bore, I say you may have your priority's wrong.

I've used this shop since 2000 and always a good job.
I know that the chances that a real machine shop will cost a bit more as there is a shop of professionals doing the work. ....................lm

Before you send your barrels.............do you have the pistons and rings in-hand? If so, send along with the barrels..........a PROFESSIONAL SHOP will bore each hole to provide the proper skirt-clearance..........and will usually ask if the application is for everyday-use or some sort of high-performance application. A 0.50 or 0.75mm over-sized bore will usually cure typical scores and pits in the liners.

I use and always recommend MELLENIUM TECHNOLOGIES.........in Plymouth, WI.........look them up with GOOGLE...........Last year I had several bores completed at a little less than $50 per hole..........of course I don't have expensive shipping because they are about 6-miles from my door. Your price may vary...........?

I paid that amount when I lived in Fort Worth but that was back about 1995.
