Does anyone have a comparative experience getting a rebuilt engine or trans
from a parts store -vs- going to a local machine shop or trans shop to
have
it done? There are a couple of shops in this area - a transmission and a
machine shop who have great reps. The parts store units (Advance Discount
Auto Parts) are cheaper, but wonder if there's a reason. They claim to do
all the same things as the machine shop - new pistons, reground crank,
etc.
The particular units in question are for an '89 Cressida.
