Good luck. I find that when a customer is shopping price, and is just looking for the best deal, they usually end up with just what they are looking for, the bast price, with no thought of the quality of the work, or the quality of the people, and the "other" things that can crop up. Anyone can "low-ball" you on an estimate, and once the engine is apart...then what do you do.
If it all works out..then great. But if it turns around and bites you in the <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/butwiggle.gif" alt="" /> well, you had it comming.
