Default Anyone in North Texas have Timesert tool for LS1??

Looking to borrow/rent Timesert to repair head bolt threads on one bolt hole. If not, any shops y'all suggest? What fair rate to pay for repair? Car would have to be towed to any shop so trying to avoid the added cost and do it at the house.

What do you think a timesert is? I own the whole kit and never had one fail! Just a different Co. designed of the same type thing. The Cheap Helicoil kits you get at the auto parts stores are a lot less reliable. GL to the OP.
