On the other hand, look at the condition of the yard, and other engins.
Does it look like a scrap yard?  Look in the workplace if you can and glance
at the other work going on.  How do they treet there tools, are they using
torque wrenches etc.  Do you see them mixing up nuts and bolts?

Try and find a place with a chap who has an enthusiasum for your type of
car, and who would give it extra special treetment because they like it!
