I need to have a new clutch installed in my 1999 coupe. Has anyone had any experience with anyone in south Houston or Clearlake area? What will I expect to pay? Thank you

Default Clutch problems.

Sorry, can't help you with a shop in South Houston or Clear lake, but you might give Frank, at Frank's Vettes on Louetta in Spring a call. He
could at least give you a price and maybe refer you to someone in your area. Frank does great work and his prices are very fair.

Certain parts of Houston are known for shady used car dealers, and perhaps, mechanics. Get some ref from forum members before proceeding. Collect $200 when you pass Go.

Default Another option for you!

I have a '99 and just had Woodlands Performance install my clutch about two months ago. Sean will also treat you right and has very knowledgable mechanics. So now you have at least two great choices I would talk to both and weigh my decision on convenience and pricing because both are top notch. Your bigger decision in my opinion is which clutch? I would narrow my choices based on your driving needs matched to the clutch.

Let us know how it goes.

BTW- I would guess every city has a bad seed if you were to ask someone somewhere. Let's concentrate of the good ones who have been mentioned then the actions and results will speak for themselves.

Default Thanks

I have spoken to Jason at Gulf Coast and he will be installing the clutch next week. I have just bought a C6 and am selling the C5 once the clutch is installed. Thanks for all your help.
