Will pay someone to do a motor swap in So Cal
Hello,
I am trying to sell my motor and need someone to take it out for the new owner. If you or someone you know performs this out of their garage fulltime or as a side job please let me know. The shops charge too much but I won't be cheap either. Please let me know asap. Thank you all

going to fly to California? Will cost you more to get there than you will get paid most likely.

First of all it was meant in humor, as in "anybody will do it" - especially in socal - guess it wasn't that funny then, eh?
Secondly, I have absolutely no intentions what-so-ever to fly out to cali to swap some dude's motor who's too lazy to do it himself.

Re: (Syndacate)
There's a difference between lazy and unable.
Like me, I could not physically have done my own motor swap. I live in an apartment complex, I have no garage, no hoist, and don't have the right tools for it.

I don't have a garage either, it's called a driveway. But I do see your point when it comes to an apartment complex which usually has parking lots instead. If you are unable to then you are simply unable to. No harm, no foul.

Re: (MattsGreenEG)
Shops in general charge more to compensate for their store front lease. A person who works out of their garage on the side hence costs less money and tax free. 
There has to be more people that can do it besides the people with shops, no offense to shop owners, but my friend needs all the money he can get at this time.

Re: Will pay someone to do a motor swap in So Cal (Maximus)
just take it to a lreal shop before someone rips you and it gets done half ***. then atleast you have a real mechanic to bitch at if something does happen
not sayin these people cant, but ide rather someone who does this kind of thing for a living at a lagitimate location before putting my vehicle in the hands of someone i met on the internet
