Specialty Motors in Seattle rebuilt ours and aside from a small governor problem over a year later (which they fixed at no charge) our auto has run fine. I can't really give you a price b/c we had an engine and a pile of other work done at the same time. Dean Auve is the owner, did the rebuild on the AT. I go back to them for all maintenance, etc. Good shop, and I highly recommend. 12517 15th Avenue Northeast Seattle, WA 98125 (206) 367-4403
Hope this helps, Mark
