I had a new crate motor installed by a local shop in a 359 pete,went 20 miles on first run,lower radiator hose no clamp,blew all fluid out,engine sucked after.Why when we have an issue out of our own shop it is easily taken as one of those days.After that debacle on the crate motor we have never taken anything to another shop(we do use a local machine shop for lathe work etc)and get along quite well.
Dealers need to charge more for their labor?
