with any car there can be problems. if they actually installed it, im sure they know what they are doing. of course there are some things that can go wrong. these engines are used and things can and will malfunction. the main thing is, if this is your daily driver just be ready to be able to get a ride to school, or work, in case your car is down. i remember when i was 15 and in your boat, i wanted an engine swap also, but i decided to save and buy my daily driver first then buy another car to have fun with. if something goes wrong i always have another vehicle that i can rely on.

Do it yourself, in the end itll save you money and you will know so much more about your car and whats happening with it.

will it break down, ummm, souldnt, if its a b18c it should run nicely, being newer ussually. As long as its installed and run correctly with the right ecu, it should be fine. Swaps are extremely commom, most people never have problems besdies normal maintence stuff...

no car is guaranteed to always work...

swaps are fine if you know how to fix them or have a shop that can fix it if anything happens to break...

cars will always break...thats why there are shops.
