If it were my car I'd be happy to have a brand new engine.
I would be happier for them to have performed the job right the first time
he might get a rebuild, they may not go through the whole engine, he may end up with leaks, its usually snowballs into a big ******* mess

I work at a shop now doing aftermarket ****, hwoever work out of a full fledged service bay at a used car dealership (farily upscale.. rx8's, s/c'd mini's, got a datona etc)
bout a month ago we sold some truck and it came in for the finial runthough the shop before delivory, a mech decided it needed a wheel barring just to be safe, no biggy, does it car is delivered to customer and he goes off.
20min later.
service gets phonecall from the dunken d'nuts up the street, the guy just lost control of his truck, he said the wheel fell off? Service manager goes up to check out what happend, comes bvack and says it looks like the nut came off the spindel, nope it didnt, it was never put on, when talking to the mech is noticed it sitting on his work bench...
he got fired

True that. A Z06 with the original low-miles engine is a better car than the same Z06 with an engine swap. If the shop can't do an oil change without cooking the motor, how the hell are they gonna pull off an engine swap??!

Good call there...I'm sure they'd let the same kid do the engine swap. The stupid things people say...
