Ive had my car in the shop since September of last year. I slipped a bearing and the entire engine went to crap. I saw them take it apart and saw that a few parts were missing that were essential to protecting the engine. The plate that went under the crank shaft between the oil pan wasnt there and the tube for the dipstick was gone. The dipstick broke off in my engine and they showed me a small scar in the cylinder wall. The crank shaft they said was ruined, the cam, and all my pistons/rods. So we got a new block and ordered all tge parts. Paid almost 6K including labor. Every time Id ask he'd say 2 weeks and itd be ready, but every two weeks were still waiting on parts, machine shop, whatever. Then over christmas he said itd be ready, then he got into a car wreck and we had to wait. Now its feb, we've got the parts, but he hasnt started yet. Said he'd be ready today but I called and he only just got the rods and pistons back from the machine shop. This is taking forever, its my daily driver, and Ive been getting a bad feeling for months now. Am I getting [censored] with? Theres no profit in keeping my car, so is he just slow, or is this normal? My dad is feeling bad about it too and he's been around muscle cars his whole life. Im in the Army and Im alone out here where Im stationed, so do I just ride it out until its done? Am I getting taken advantage of?
