I believe he did. But am not positive.
I know he got started fairly late Monday afternoon, and I picked up the car around Noon on Wednesday.
He is the owner of his shop, and as such, still gets side-tracked by either his fellow minions he employs, or by other customers either calling in and asking to speak to him, or stopping by the shop.
Not to mention, I had him doing a couple of other things besides just this swap alone.
I suppose it's possible to complete this in one (actual) full day, w/o interruptions.
But friend of yours, or not, I would say that's a tremendous amount of pressure to place upon any mechanic.
Especially knowing that unforeseen obstacles do tend to creep up.
You'd be better served, by preparing for a 2 day job from beginning to end.
