THIS IS NOT MARIO.

What I know... Werks on Robeson St. closed years ago. A guy named Leigh who was a partner, I believe, opened his own shop called Leighs VW.
I have never used his shop personally but have heard really good thinks about him. I have spoke with him a couple of times and he was real cool and knowledgeable. I can get more info if you need it.

rezidu, yea if you could get some contact info I'd appreciate it. I own one of their sponsored cars and would like to gain more history on it.
Thanks,
Nate

i would be very wary of a shop that does "Motors" unless they are starters or wipers. Engine builders is ok in my book. :D

Both 'engine' and 'motor' are correct terms for internal combustion thingies.

An engine is a motor.

But in the automotive world I was always taught to call an engine, an engine and an electric motor a motor.

However a motor can be a multitude of different things not just electric or internal combustion.
