They performed a smog-legal LS swap on my 1990 Blazer, and it passed the referee inspection and is completely legal to register and drive. The attention to detail with the wiring, and cleaning up existing wiring was top-notch. They also found solutions to utilize the internals of the transmission I purchased with an alternate case to not have to adjust the stock mount point of my transfer case. There were also some minor issues with a power steering and trans dip stick gasket leak, which they fixed at no additional charge after pick up. The engine and transmission run well, and are a fantastic upgrade at a reasonable price compared to other quotes I had received. From a technical perspective, I would give the shop 5 stars.
The reason for a lower rating is primarily due to the amount of time it took to complete. I originally waited 6 or so week for drop off to ensure there was room, and space in the schedule to complete the swap in 4-6 weeks per the original estimate. Two months after dropping off, I called to check progress, and I was told 4-6 weeks from that point. I would call and check in every month since then, and the estimates switched to two weeks each month I called. My vehicle was there a total of 11 months for a 4-6 week original estimate.
In summation, the work is very high quality, and they know how to perform smog legal swaps at a competitive price, but the time estimates may not always be accurate, and you may have to wait some time for completion. Overall, I am satisfied with the work performed, and would recommend them for anyone who is looking for an affordable engine swap, but is not in a rush for completion.
