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.
