Clutch install in New England

For all you New Englanders (CT, RI, MA) I was wondering if you guys can reccommend a reputable shop that can do a clutch install for me. I am at school in RI and don't want to drive 3 hours home on my clutch to get it fixed.

Let me know your experiences....

Thanks
-RAY

I know about 3 or 4 cars that have gone there... and they do good work.

They have plenty of cars that would blow ours out of the water, so no need to worry about joyriders and punks.

They charge about $500 plus fluids for the 8, 600 or so for the MR and it takes 2 days.

*** hopefully that time frame doesn't hurt you, but they won't do it in a day, that's my main problem as well since it's my DD *** I think it'll be hard pressed to find someone that would do it in one day though (a shop that is).

Thanks a lot man....I think I will be calling them tommorow. They do seem pretty legit from what I've read. Thanks again.

And if anyone else has any other suggestions please let me know.

Yes, I had a few things installed at DSG. Bunch of nice guys and they stand by their services. I also saw another evo getting reworked by them, cuz another shop messed up the clutch install. Ask for alex if you call.

I highly recommend Total Autosports in Newington CT. 860-436-3195

www.totalautosports.com

They're a new business but the owner has been in the automotive repair and high performance industry for 10-12 years. They also have a lot of mitsu Evo/DSM customers and know the cars inside out and backwards.

Alex is an awesome guy, so are Bill and Q. They're a great group and I can't reccomend them enough. I trust all of my work to them, I was there today getting an inspection for a track day. Go check them out
