Default Anyone in Colorado Springs I can trust for a clutch install?

European Performance Specialists wants nearly $700. I'd trust them to do the work, but have an issue with paying that much. I haven't called around to any other local shops yet, figured I'd check on here first.

I am likely going to use Jordan/CO AVANT up in Ft. Collins who said he'd do it for around $350, but getting up to Foco for a weekend is proving hard to schedule.

Can anyone recommend a person or shop in Colorado Springs or even Boulder/Denver that will do a good job and won't charge upwards of $700?




p.s...Jordan, if you're reading this...don't take it personally. I need to get a new clutch in my car within the next 3 or 4 weeks and getting up to Foco isn't as easy as I originally thought. If I can't find a shop more local to me, I'll still be heading up your way at some point.

Typically you get what you pay for man. I cannot vouch for this guy one way or another but there are 2-3 great shops in Denver that will do the work justice.

Keep in mind you should try not to focus on pinching pennies if you can avoid it. You'll need a new clutch kit, flywheel and pressure plate bolts and at a minimum will need to have your flywheel resurfaced. BUT, make sure you don't have any old machine shop do this, it certainly takes someone that knows what they are doing with them.

Good luck!
