My XJ has been sitting for almost four years waiting for me to come back to VA and give her some TLC. I figured if I could turn a wrench, then I could dodge, er I meant replace a transmission.
Anyway, after much internal deliberation I have decided that as long as the transmission needs replaced, I may as well have the engine rebuilt since it is noisy and leaks oil everywhere.
Now I'm at a crossroad. Do I:
1) find any old shop that can work on engines and transmissions
2) find an off-road specialty shop
Any shop recommendations in the Northern VA area?
TL;DR: I need recommendations for a mechanic
