I made the mistake of taking my '94 CSE to an independent shop that would save me a few extra bucks... total clutch repair cost was about $900, HOWEVER, the subframe bolts they didn't tighten cost me $150 (for labor and an alignment), new motor mounts (done myself to save), probably because I drove for too long with loose bolts rattling, not to mention when I got the car home I looked at the invoice and noticed they used DOT3 instead of DOT4, so I then had to bleed it again to get all that out. Long story short, I've changed my mind about saving some money and shopping around for a lower price. Sometimes it's worth the extra upfront.
