Research other shops and find someone with integrity. They are out there. Good luck!

That's the hard part, with every single shop, I did my research. Transmission shop was the ONLY place that was honorable and did work they were paid for in a timely fashion. No shocker the shop owner was in his early 70's and ran the place with an iron fist.
As for the Jag, finding a place that works on classic British cars is to say the least HARD and to find one that will get involved in a concours restoration project are, as I am finding, non existent other than than East coast and west coast. Then I am back in the same boat with entrusting a vehicle half way across the country and unable to monitor and stay on the shop.
The last chitty part, is I have spent all the funds we had saved up for the project and so finding another shop is great, but then accessing more funds, that have already been flushed down the toilet, is a whole other issue.
