good shop to replace clutch in bay area (cali)

ok.. i live in BFE northern cali and any shop around here wants to charge a lot to install my new clutch... i live about 5 hours north of the bay area but i'd be willing to drive down if i found a good experienced shop that wont cost so much.. the cheapest i found was near portland, for $350 - but thats even further away so.. if anyone has any reccomendations and any ballpark $$ #s please let me know! THANKS!!!

How far is Prtland from your house?
If you are 5 hrs away already, might as well go up north and save on tax too!

We install EVO clutches on a regular basis since that is what we specialize in.

We have installed everything from our own WORKS clutches to Exedy clutches to the extreme RPS twin carbon-carbon clutches.

We can't come close to the $350 price but the title of "good shop... bay area" is what caught our attention.

We are an EVO performance manufacturer located in San Francisco.

If you want to get a quote, give us a call so we can discuss your needs.
Thanks,
415.641.WORKS (9675)

Becareful of cheat labor. You want a quailty install on a clutch. Better to pay little more and get a quality install by experienced shop than have your new clutch fail faster than stock.

thanks for the replies everyone... it looks like a friend of mine wants to go to portland anyways so it will be a little road trip, plus hopefully a good clutch install.. from what i have heard theyve done a good job and they told me they have done 27 evo clutches so that sounds good to me. if i end up going to the bay area though i will definitely try WORKS, or someone else suggested the san rafael dealership.. anyways thanks!

Well, actually, I am out at school in Wyoming for another year, but I lived in Arcata my whole life. Crazy I never see any Evos in Humboldt.

damn well totally going off topic now sorry

ahh well there are 2 or 3 evo's in arcata (including me).. and i know about one in mckinleyville and another in eureka (silver w/ carbon fiber hood.. and fast hehe) . as a matter of fact i can hear him pulling up outside my work right now

a bunch of suby's now too, some people putting a lot of work into their cars... although someone in eureka just put down 470whp in their civic

here are some pics of our cars at my work here in arcata..
