Default Blew My Motor need you guys help

My motor had that #4 cylinder problem and last week my motor finally gave out. Now I need some help finding a shop that will fix it for me. I've been to a few shop and they said they will pull it out and then send it to a machine shop to have the work done. I would rather have a shop do all of this in one place if its possible. If anybody know somebody that might can can me out that would be hella cool. And once I get my car fixed I can take you to like D&Bs or something and you can get SHITFACED on ME (dont help me if your an alchie, cause I'll probaly cant afford the tab). Alright thanks

If it is a #4 cylinder problem why not just take it to the dealer? As long as it's not a over-rev they should take care of it if you are still under warranty.

Comptech knows how to do it, and their rates are reasonable

No more warranty, and the motor was just a little over reved thanks though

over reving has nothing to do with that #4 cylinder.
Comptech will charge somewhere around mid to high $3K.
Don't quote me on that, but let's just say I know someone who paid around that much.

Thanks everybody for replying. I found a shop that will rebuild for $2800. Comptechs price doesn't seem that bad but the problem is getting my car all the way out there. Anyways I might try selling the car as is to whoever wants to fix it themselves. You think 13K - 14K is reasonable with a salvaged title? Well we'll see, thanks for all the info.

Are you sure you don't have any more warranty? Drivetrain warranty is a lot longer than the standard 3 years.
