Default Engine Rebuild Shop Recommendation

Hey, I think I blew Tsx motor last night when we had a crazy storm come through my city. I ran through some deep water.

I've tried everything to see if I can bring this motor back but I think it's gone. I need a place in southern california that I can trust to do my engine rebuild. I live in the high desert (adelanto, ca) so the closer the better.

I would try to find a reputable person in your area that can work on the K's. Going to a shop you are pretty much going to get raped ( o )

I don't know anyone in my area. I've only been here for two years and it's a pretty small place that's still growing.

I'm going through my insurance for this and they just told me to go somewhere and get it fixed. usually the places they recommend aren't that great so i'm looking for another place.

Haha, that was crazy, I saw that shot of the TSX too... I think it was Channel 11. You might better off going to your local dealership to do the rebuild since your insurance is paying for it.

Sorry for the bad luck. At least you got your 15 mins of fame!!

well after looking for prices on towing and the time I have, it might look like I'll have to look for a place local to me. I'll call around tomorrow and see what I can find.
