Default Engine destroyed
To make a long story short, I need a new engine for my 2000 GS300. Any suggestions on what I should do or where I should buy? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

What happened to your old engine? If you need a new one, contact gazi on this forum. He has a few laying around.

My engine was being serviced and while the parts were off (ex: timing belt), the remote start somehow tried to start the car and destroyed the entire engine.

Whoever serviced your car is an idiot.

First and foremost whilst working on a car....disconnect the battery.

It's my own personal mechanic and he's taking responsibility for it so a lawyer is not necessary. Thanks anyway.
