Reliable shops in the Charlotte area?

I need to get my clutch replaced soon and Montgomery Mazda on 74 quoted me 510 in labor being that I purchased the parts...

Is this price fair? Are there any other reliable shops a reasonable drives away?

I have never had work done there. Brad is my brother (he has a WB 8) and he is way more capable and qualified to put in a clutch

Also they are a well known shop for EVO's and STi's...very reputable

I paid $280 For clutch replacement, I provided parts for them. I'm just saying this is the lowest, they can charge you whatever they want. Just how much you get out of their service. I got my car done within next day, I'd pay $510 if I'd get they car back within 5 hours or less and guarantee the work.

Had to get my car towed to Motion Lab today. Having serious clutch issues.

I was driving pretty hard and was going from 1st to 2nd, no higher than 7000 rpms. Went to shift and heard some a loud noise and felt car start to shake. After that I had to stay in 2nd and limp home.

Clutch has almost no pressure on it now. At about 1 inch from the floor there is some push and you can hear a slight noise from the transmission. Like a part moving or something.

Without looking at the car they said it might be the pressure plate. Lots of people have had trouble with their clutch brackets though.
