| Engine Swap Shop specialize in Toyota?
I seen many people recommend TSS for engine swaps, but are there any shops out there that specializes in Toyotas?
Car in question is Toyota Celica.
Not looking for answers such as "not worth", "better off selling the car and buying a new one", etc.

I don't think anyone locally really specializes in Toyota's since Toyota hasn't really made much in the way of sporty cars for years. TSS is a well known shop, and I've also had very good experiences there.

I think you need to be more specific and tell us which model Celica and which engine you are looking to swap in. If it's like-for-like, then pretty much any shop can do it.

Which gen Celica and which engine are you putting in? KO Racing is in the US but they're pretty familiar with the 4/5/6 gen.

A and A Japanese Motors
By the casino in Richmond
They specialize in older Japanese cars
Very honest owner and mechanic
I haven't been there in over 10 years as I haven't owned a Japanese car in over 10 years.
But he used to do good work on my RSX and my friends AE86
