I discovered and talked with another performance shop in the Spokane area. The guy was really nice and talked to me on the phone for quite a while. He has a large shop and my car would be stored inside. They seem to do mostly imports but are very knowledgeable with domestic V8's. They said they could take my car today and get working on it within the next 3-4 days.
My thought process is-
This new shop pros/cons are:
They seem nicer right out of the gate and are saying all the right things (like a guy trying to get in a girls pants)
My car will be stored inside (pro)
Their dyno is down and they'd want to use somebody elses dyno (this means my car returns to where it is now!!) (con)
This shop charges $95 p/hr, shop I'm at now is $55 (con)
New shop is relocating in 1 month to another bigger facility, this could be really bad.
I would have to tow my car from one place to the other and hope I my car doesn't become an ornament over there as well. Everything is a risk either way.
Allegedly the new shop just competed against OKC in an upcoming episode of Street Outlaws (i love that show).

Yes I did talk to the guy while he was wrenching on a beautiful old Impala and he said my car is next up. Is he lying? Quite possibly he is but that is the rock and the hard spot we put ourselves in when outsourcing work.
Anyone have a magic crystal ball they can lend me? I'd really like to know who isn't going to f*ck me over.
