My Father, Paul E. Gains had Retired after 40 years in the Machine shop business. He recalled that he had always wanted to open a Machine Shop with brand new equipment. In May of 1989, through his two sons, Randy and Paul J, his dream came true.

Engine Machine Service, Inc was established in May of 1989. Every piece of equipment from micrometers to the boring mill was new. We had something to offer our customers that no other company in the Mahoning Valley could match. Our years of experience in the machine shop service and the proper equipment to maintain the strict tolerances that todays engines require made us the preferred shop.

My Father was a part time advisor and sales representative for Engine Machine and assisted us in our growth. Sadly, Paul passed away in 1995, but he did see his dream come true.

We outgrew our location in Canfield, Ohio, and in January of 2003 we relocated to a larger facility in Niles Ohio.

In 2004 we also became involved with parts and rebuilding of engines for the Conquest and Starion automobiles. Even though it was just a sideline of the business, we grew a large list of friends from across the country that connected with us for parts and service. Many referred to me as "Dad" since My Son was a big part of the "Starquest" Community.

Sadly after 31 years in business we closed our shop in 2020.

I decided that I wanted to continue supporting the Conquest and Starion community and keep in touch with the wonderful people I met supplying parts once again, so I started Dads Engine Parts LLC.
