Yeah, but one engine swap isn't enough...

Shops are out to make money, so the quickest is cheapest, so they WILL do things wrong

Sounds like he's a bit stuborn, good luck...

WTF? I am sorry you feel that way about shops but i know a shit load of shops that do good jobs and don't fuck up.
You want quality work it's going to cost you.
You want cheap work it's going to cost you more.

Then say you're taking it to a shop... just don't bring your dad...

Maybe good supra or performance related shops, but I've had tons of bad experiences...

shops are BAD NEWS unless its a specialty shop that charges a crapload.
like others said, they shortcut and do stupid shit.

if you have it done at toyota dealership, your looking at quality and garunteed work.. but your also looking at a HUGE Pricetag.

No offense but lagged isn't just some random guy. Lagged has been around for a while and I know pretty much all of the older members would vouch for him.
+1 for lagged and offering to do something like that is just badass, shows what type of community we have here on SM.
