Default Covina Swap Shop vs Autolink?

Im going to be swapping a motor into my 90 Integra if it doesnt sell by the end of the month...

I know you guys love autolink, but to tell you the truth the guy on the phone was a ****** dick. The guy at the swap shop sounded cool as hell on the phone, and I know they have been open a couple years, which seems to be a long time for a import shop.

Also if anybody on H-T wants to swap a motor for me IM me so we can talk....

Its never the guy on the phone that works on your car or installs your motors.

Remember that.

Spark gets for work but a for prices. Swapshop is ok, they do ok work. If you want your motor put in right the first time go with autolink, expensive but well worth it.

You're wrong on this one. The person on the phone has to be polite & sincere to the customers. You're never know he or she can be your new customers. This is the way me & my brothers run our business for the last 15 years.

i don't think sparks motorsports have any type of warranty... last time they did a crx for some guy his axle snapped by cause the motor was uneven.... yes they welded the passenger side mount incorrectly...
