Yeah... I avoid saying the name of the company for exactly that reason.

The shop agreed to replace their first attempt with the engine we'd asked for. Then, after taking another two months, and refusing to budge on a discount for bad workmanship, I waived their warrantee to get some money back that I knew I'd need to replace parts.

The Ford was a full long block rebuild. The Chevy wasn't... a lot of parts were in the cab. Some they used, some they didn't. What they didn't... magically disappeared without explanation. They pride themselves on giving back a vehicle that can be driven out. Ours couldn't due to unrelated stuff like brakes, so they settled for 'sorta running'

I hope my dad doesn't read this, but that's where the 'original sin' lies. He's not one to think about looking for reviews online. Otherwise, he might never have used them.
