That is what worries me the most. I'm all for a good deal but if he is basically just stock rebuilding and adding a couple of better parts and giving a big long list of durable parts that he really doesn't use then that is a big problem.
The general public does not trust anyone wrenching on their car. I don't agree with it, but that is a sad fact. Part of the reason is because there are so many dishonest transmission repair people out there. Almost no one will take a trans apart to verify content, thus it is very easy for a dishonest shop to fix them cheaply, and call them overhauled or performance built. This has affected me directly more than once, and I decided to build my own ever since.
If it comes to it, I'll do it myself too.... albeit, I've never done it before, its about the only thing I don't do myself these days, and thats only because I don't have the time to teach myself right now.
I'm committed to having my racecar on the track by this time next month.... don't know if I will do it, but will be February at the latest.
