copterdoctor, it's like 3.5 hours drive to fort wayne. you can't beat dave's price on his build. if you take your car some where else here in chitown, that's not a 3800 specialist they probably rob you! they will charge you parts you don't need to replace or replace with some generic brands. i used to work at parts store so i know. my pop and i done many business with dave from installing to rebuild. six times all together for both of us. you can ask dave that we're like probably the most repeated customers from chitown. i think dave probably had 4-5 other chitown club members have their tranny rebuild/install right after us. yeah were the first from the chi . beside there's not many shops here that know much about the 3800 motor. i rather take my car to someone who specialize in the 3800 motor than taking to some a hole in the wall auto shop who rebuild honda. look around all the shops in chicagoland, you hardly see any more small shops that are gm specialize unless you want to take to the dealership? most of the shops here will have sign saying they specialize in foreign and domestic, but who know if they can fix your car??? you won't regret it if you have dave take care of you. look at Zach, he's one happy customer now.
