Mail-In Crankshaft Grinding

Ship Your Crankshaft to Us From Anywhere in the USA

How It Works

How to Ship Your Crankshaft in 6 Steps

Most shipped-in jobs go smoothly when the crank is packed well and we have your details up front. Call before you ship and we will walk you through anything you are unsure about.

Call or Request a Quote

Call 248-313-9685 or send a quote request. Tell us the engine, the crank and the work you need so we can confirm pricing before you ship.

Prep the Crankshaft

Clean off sludge and grease, then coat the journals with oil or a rust preventive. Wrap each journal so nothing can scratch the surfaces in transit.

Pack It to Survive Shipping

Use a wooden crate or heavy double-wall box. Block the crank so it cannot shift or roll. Large diesel cranks may need to ship on a pallet.

Include a Note in the Box

Add your name, phone, email, return address, engine and year, the work you want done, and any undersize or bearing information you have.

Ship It to Our Shop

Send it to Crankshaft Craftsmen, 22635 Heslip Dr., Novi, MI 48375. Keep your tracking number so you know when it arrives.

We Machine It and Send It Back

We inspect the crank, contact you with anything we find, complete the work and get it back on its way to you.

Why Ship to Us

A Crankshaft Specialist Worth Shipping To

Many towns no longer have a machine shop that grinds crankshafts in house. Instead of letting your crank bounce between shops, send it straight to a shop that has focused on crankshafts since 1962.

  • Everything under one roof. Crack testing, welding, grinding, polishing and balancing happen in our shop, so your crank is not farmed out.
  • Published pricing. Our price list is online, so you know the regrind cost before you pack the box.
  • Typical 1 to 3 day turnaround once your crank is in our shop, depending on the work needed. Transit time is extra.
  • Exchange crankshafts are available at no extra charge with an acceptable core.
  • Builder and jobber pricing for engine rebuilders and shops that send us regular work.

What We Accept by Mail

We grind and repair crankshafts for domestic and import cars and trucks, performance and stroker builds, Ford 6.0, 6.4 and 6.7 diesels and other diesel engines, tractors, ATVs, motorcycles, watercraft, golf carts and single and twin cylinder small engines. If you are not sure we can handle your crank, call and ask.

Shipping a Rotating Assembly for Balancing?

Call first so we can tell you exactly which parts to send with the crank for crank only, full assembly or zero balancing. Pack each part separately and label it.
