I just purchased stock OEM clutch parts from a website - at a very good price (less than $500 delivered). Now, who in Houston can do the work? I seem to be somewhat limited to the Acura Dealers - John Eagle or Southwest, who both seem hell-bent on replacing the flywheel before they even open it up, burnt or not, with less than 32,000 miles on the car (blame it on slip-clutching in 1st - my bad). As well, bringing in my own parts means no guarantee, even though the parts are exactly the same as they would provide themselves, but at half the cost to me. I guess I'm trimming their profile margin, despite a labor quote of $1200, whether they do the work in 6 hours or 12.
Anyone know of a reputable shop in the Houston area who has actually done a clutch replacement, with somewhat reasonable labor rates? I have a quote from a shop in San Antonio (HNA Automotive) for a little over $500, but I'd rather have it done here than drive the 3 hours each way (yes, it's slipping but still perfectly driveable). I've talked to C&B here, but as yet haven't received a final estimate, but I suspect they'll probably come in near the Acura dealers.
I appreciate any advice y'all can provide. Thanks.
