I think you and I are the only two people on this forum that understand that this is not rocket science and techs that work with engines all day every day can manage the task. Will the occasional screw up happen? Sure but the odds are in your favour that they won't. Any 13 year old with reading skills and a set of tools could do this job much less some trained and expereiced techs.

OK so now we will hear the usual round of "but they don't care", "they are rushed to much" or "They don't know THESE engines" from a bunch of guys that pull their own cars apart in the driveway using beat to hell old tools but figure they never screw up anything.
