See why I do it all myself? These guys were hacks. (which, unfortunately
I SEE all the time. And we wonder why the automotive business has a bad
reputation..... I digress.) 
Well, they went about it the long way. I can see $400-500 for a clutch
job. A really good clutch job. The kicker is their labor rates. They need
to check themselves. I dunno, if it were me, id be talking to a manager
about the cost. its a bit excessive. I could build you a kick ass 8v
motor for that kind of money and you got what again?!  
Sorry, I feel for ya.
