Seattle/Bellevue Clutch Shop?

I have a 98 4Runner SR5 who's clutch is starting in need of being retired. I am looking for some shop recommendations that will do a good job for me. I don't have time to do it myself for many reasons and would appreciate any recommendations people have out there for me.

I called Toyota Of Seattle for a quote and was sticker shocked with a $950 quote for all the parts and a fly resurface.

I don't really use my 4Runner hard. Mostly just use it to get me to some sweet climbing or skiing spots here in the Cascades.

Thanks in advance...
-Mike

Clutch Doctors~Everett

I had my Centerforce Dual Friction clutch *installed* at Clutch Doctors in Everett for $269. I ordered the parts at Central4WD for like $400 and made the appointment to have the stuff installed. They also do OEM type clutches parts/labor for $269 as well.

Thanks all...

I decided to just go with Toyota OEM and use my local Fall City garage for the install. They are buying the parts and not marking them up so the total clutch kit for everything will be $350. They are charging $400 for labor. Still costing me $750, but Toyota of Seattle wanted $950.

Thanks again...
