If you can get someone to go along with you and call in and pay him a visit. Sounds like he may have got in over his head TBO... 6 weeks is totally unnaceptable for a job that could be done in a day by someone experienced and competent with the 2jz engine If no one off here can go with you if it were me I would go down and pay them a visit. Most likely I would take the car back (on a trailer if need be) and try and get some money off them for inconvenience and getting it redone (unlikely I know) good luck with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it does come to that (having to collect the car unfinished), you should post up in the members section or here about 'recommended' and 'trusted' companies who could take the work on. Michael Lane is a good bet but Im not sure how far he is from you.... just remember though, you get what you pay for....particularly when it comes to engine building and repairs (usually anyway!) and there is a reason that quality outfits are usually more expensive than dubious or 'unknown' companies.(because they know how long a job will take do correctly...) hope it works out for you mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
