SR20 Swap Good deal? Rickys auto

Hey all, I just went to rickys auto in miami for a quote as I live 5 minutes from the shop. He quoted me 2,200 for a black top and 2,400 for a redtop. and 1600 for all labor to install everything (motor, trans, smic all other ect.) so thats about 4000 out the door done. Does this sound like a good deal and has anyone had any good/bad experiences with this shop.

I know Ricky's does cost a little more than some other places but I think they have really clean motors.....

The swap and labor price does seem about normal but paying that $1600+ for an install kinda sucks when you can use that for more parts!!!

I would look around to see if you can find something a lil cheaper, but then that means your gonna have to find another shop to do the install for you......cuz Ricky would probally get pissed if you bring him a motor from someone else and told him to install......

.....or if you got the paper, just go with Ricky's and let him handle everything, this way you know you got a good motor and a good install, guaranteed.
