I wouldn't pick any shop without seeing some of their previous work first hand and talking to some customers first if possible, especially for major projects...I've learned in time to do almost everything myself because I have a deep distrust of 'ASE-certified' mechanics.

Good luck finding the right place.

Sounds like he really didn't know how to work on rotary engines . So he just gave you a huge number so that you would go away and he would not have to admit that he did not know what an apex seal is.

Perhaps you should post up his contact info so that others don't waste their time with him.
