Default My engine is done.. need help

I'm looking for any reputable shops in the Austin area that can put in an engine. My engine recently died due to the coolant tank busting and seeping into my engine and mixing with my oil. The stealership is going to charge me 1800 dollars for labor, so any shop other than a Nissan dealership would be of great help.

Thanks

If your willing to make a small trip to Houston I recommend Jtran studios they are good and quick. ...

What exactly was that quote for? Drop out the old engine and replace it as an assembly? At dealership prices, which are normally around $90/hr that comes out to 20 hours, which sounds about right.
You just need to find a reputable Z shop that has a lower labor rate.
