    I need to know which independents in the TC are reputable for engine diagnosis and repair. I would be doing this myself but I need an estimate from an independent to submit to the dealer that I bought the car from. It's a long story. Thanks.

    There are a few other reputable independent shops, but they get my strong recommendation.

    Ooh! Look at me with my double posting droid!

    Yes. beers.

    Anyway, yeah it sucks. I basically need an independent shop to verify what the dealer has already diagnosed. The dealer knows it needs a shortblock....I know it needs a shortblock.......uh. If it was up to me I would have a 2.5 in the car already.

    Well, I hope the dealership buys you a new motor. Plus I want to see the bumblebee wagon. Hit me up, Wednesday - Friday night I am free, meet up after work.

    Why not just bring it to a different dealer?
