Looking for a good mechanic in North Jersey for clutch install
Hey guys, I'm looking for a mechanic in North Jersey to do a clutch install into my Pontiac Solstice. I asked over one one of the kappa based forums but I didn't' get any bites.
This place gets a lot more foot traffic, so I was hoping someone on here might be able to point me to a good mechanic/shop familiar with GM/Ecotecs for a clutch install.
I know that my solstice's transmission setup is different than a cobalts, but I figure any good shop that's familiar with cobalts and GM vehicles should be able to handle the job.
I usually do all my own work on my cars, but this is something that I'm not setup to do in my garage. I can't get the car high enough and I'm not sure I'd be able to wrestle the transmission out on my own without hurting myself, so I figured I'd let a pro handle this.
Anyone who can vouch for a shop or has had work done by a local mechanic they can point me to would be great.

Ok, thanks for the suggestion, the place is only about an hour from me so I'll check it out.
Unfortunately a couple of days after making my original post my car took some damage while it was parked. No major damage to the car, only a body panel with some big dents and also my door took some deep scratches.
I got replacement parts on the way, but until then it's sitting in my garage cause the way the quarter panel got squished I think the tire might rub on it.
