Default shop for clutch change on Lexus

I would like to get the clutch replaced on my SC300. Looking for a detail orientated shop that would be gentle to the interior, put all the bolts back on, put the driveshaft the same way it comes out. 2JZ / Supra experience would be ideal. Would like the flywheel to come off, surfaced.. and change the rear seal as well.

Any recommendations..?

Precise Auto Repair and Four B are two places I've taken my cars to. Precise's labor rate I believe is cheaper and they seem to know japanese cars very well. One example - had to replace my water pump on our old 07 is250. dealer wanted $900, precise charged me $475.

They also R&R'd my coilovers, swaybars, and under brace for $375 - took them about 5 hours I think.

That's confirmed. They just moved in. There should eventually be some type of grand re-opening event at the new location:

71 A East 21st Ave, San Mateo

For now you can expect to see the Impact Vendor Booth attending the Amped Event.

Default Lowering springs shop recommendations

Hi,

Any good shop recommendations for installing lowering springs in the Fremont surrounding areas?

I checked with Sonic Motorsport but their prices are too high.

I am also considering installing them myself.

Thanks!
