The shop is one I have worked with a few times before. Small town business, so there aren't many online reviews. My wife went to high school with the owner. They've been good to me in the past and I trust him. He said that they do several engine swaps, which is why he's able to get good pricing.
I'll make sure to get the terms and the paperwork on it.
The company I have the power train warranty with is Auto Advance. Claims process wasn't too bad, so far. They wanted oil change records and a visual inspection of the failure by their agent. My fear is the coverage, because they said they will shop used engines with the same or less miles to determine a value for the claim. Once they get a value, they will send a check that I can apply to the repair.
A junkyard motor with high miles will never equal the crate motor, but it's something. I'm just hoping that I get more than I paid for the policy back. The max amount would be great, but it could easily be less.
