You're a braver man than I, Tom. :)  I don't go near those places ever
since one of 'em refused to touch my Mustang's 4-speed transmission
because they'd had some strange problem with a *5*-speed in a Mustang.  I
figured I didn't want that kind of massive intellect anywhere near my
vehicles, especially with tools.  Of course, all the horror stories about
leaving fill plugs out, etc., don't help my attitude either.
