Vertex Auto engines

Has anyone here purchased a rebuilt engine from Vertex Auto? If so how was the quality, service, and would you recommend them again?

I had a rebuilt tranny done by them on my 86 Cab.
They are ok but not great!.
They are cheap and of value, but I would not say they are not the best around.

The tranny worked fine for the further 1-2K miles i put on it.
The main guy there (Guiberto I think) has good work ethics and I believe will not screw you over, but they are not the cleanest most meticulous mechanics i.e if you have a white interior- do not let them have the car!

Hope this is of help

They stand behind their work, and that is good.

Send a message via ICQ to old_skul
It's not terribly polite to post about other retailers on this forum, since it's hosted by a retailer. Sorry.
