Q45 repair shops in Ohio?

[FastFreddyFour]

I posted earlier about getting my father in laws 92 Q with 46K miles on it and I'm worried about the chian guides (being the plastic cracking/breaking ones). I called the local repair shop and they said it calls for the motor to come out to do it, so he said don't worry about it and if you have trouble we'll source a used motor for it and fix everything then, would cost more but I might make 2 years with no issues (thats the planned time frame on keeping the car). I called the dealer that the car came from and the same Service Manager was there that sold my father in law the car, and he remembered it from the upgrades he got when he bought the car. He said don't worry about it, theres not enough miles to worry about it and worst case they can still get motors for those cars to replace it if I have a problem. So being in Springfield, Ohio - I'm proactively looking for a shop to work on it and get them replaced but it seems everyone thinks I'm throwing money in the toilet (and now my wife is too with everyone saying don't worry about it). I don't want a 50K mile car with a used motor already - I'd like to keep what I have. I'm 1/2 tempted to do the guides myself as I'm pretty handy with a wrench (kept a 87 Mustang under control and did everything to it excpet a short block replacement - heads, cam, timing chain, nitrous, etc... built it myself to 413 rwhp on the dynojet). Looking at everyone who has the how to and pics on what to do - the only things that scare me are getting the crank pully off, and chain jumping on the sprokets (which the chain jumping on the sprockets would bug me even if I took it to a shop as I'm super anal about who touches my cars).

So my question is... is there any where in the Ohio area that is a reputable Q45 repair place... I'm 1/2 tempted to try T3 in Atlanta but I'd spend a day driving there... maybe 1-2 days waiting for the car to get done there... and then a day coming home - so it could be a 4 day event. The wife wouldn't like it, but it would give me piece of mind about the car. If I could find someone closer I'd feel even better.

ThanksFred

If you can pre-stage it, T3 can do it in a day. Owners have come from Montana and felt the time well spent.

You have a lot more than 2 years left on the car if you keep it up.

IF your reasonably handy with a wrench youll have no trouble with the guides. Taking the crank pulley off is NOT a big deal. There is PLENTY to read on the subject!

Hopefully its not your only car so you can do it and spread it out over a couple days. Thats how I would do the guides personally, take one day to take it apart, one day to replace the gudies, and one day to put it back together. It sucks to do it at one time.

If you can do all of that to your mustang then you'll have no problem replacing the chain guides. Taking the motor out for the guides?
