just like buying a part over the counter...you have a 12/12 parts warranty but no labor coverage...if its installed in the dealer then you have both parts and labor coverage

I'm guessing since his insurance covered it he would like to have it done at a place that will warranty the work in the event of a fuck up? Maybe I'm crazy, but this seems like a good idea to me?!?!?

It would have been a good learning expierence if he helped.

Car is back together and running again as of wed. Just apparently not reliable driving yet. A few parts were ordered on wed and came in today. One of them was the wrong part so they overnighted the right part and they said it will be all set to take home tomorrow. Hopefully everything goes alright and i actually get it tomorrow.

i'd do it myself, but i would have no clue on putting the car back together. The "new" motor is on the ground with the tranny next to it atm. It would probably take me longer to get it all back together then the tech anyways. no matter what i have put into the vehicle, i have always had a tech at work do it or watch me so i do it right

No damage other then the engine so far. not sure yet tho since my car is still in pieces. waiting on a few parts to come in and the tech is on vacation till wed now. So once he gets everything together, we get to see if she will run and run correctly
