Clutch slipping - looking for reputable shop in Richmond, VA

I appreciate everyone's inputs. The car is a 97' Civic EX with 123K miles.

The questions I need answered are:

1. Does anyone has a suggestion for reputable repair shop in Richmond, VA?

2. Has anyone had experience with "Wallace Automotive" in Richmond, VA?

3. Is $1,000 a reasonable charge for Clutch plate and Bearing replacement?

Thanks again,
- Pat

$1000 is a bit much. I got a brand new lightweight flywheel, performance
clutch disc, plate, plus bearings for about 400, and then installed a
little less than 400. If he's getting you an OEM clutch plate and
bearing, that's a lot of excess he's charging for labor. Albeit he's
probably going on his pre-calculated "hours" to do the job, charging you
$60 or more per hour. You'd have better luck driving to Barboursville
and visiting High Speed Auto. Ask for Rick. It's a little less than 2
hours from Richmond. If you want directions let me know.

The only thing I can comment on is the cost. One thousand bucks is way, WAY
too much.

Do you have a breakdown of the quote? If so, could you post it here, line

To make the roads safer, perhaps you shouldn't be placed in a position of
having care and control of a vehicle then. {;^)

400k+ driving experience, 90% of it over the speed limit, never even came
close to an accident. 2 reckless tickets and 2 equipment violations though.
Not too happy about those.
