    Default Auto repair shop recommendation

    I need to replace the engine in a Subaru and looking for a recommendation for a shop. The dealer quoted $6500 for a 4 cylinder engine.

    Thanks.

    Just thought I remember reading from a Beyond recommendation, and I think manager is on Beyond. No personal experience myself.

    He is just being a smartass because of a previous thread where I did not recommend them.

    Allmakes (they specialize in Subaru's)

    Or if it's an older Subaru, do the research and see if you can easily put a JDM engine in, then get one from JDMsource.

    I swapped one from them into a '98 impreza outback sport for less than $1g. (Doing my own work of course)

    They're certainly big, but I don't know if they are the BEST I've tasted.

    It's funny.

    I vote put that money into lotto tickets and wait for the payout instead and get something nicer.

    LOL Can someone please post the "its a trap picture". I'm too lazy to do the 10 second search.

    If op could go online and trash a shop over a locknut that "supposedly" he left at a shop months before just imagine the drama an engine swap could cause.

    What's the matter? He's supplying the motor to swap with too.
