To tell u the truth i was a bit pissed off at you but im over it. It just seemed kinda funny that it happened like it did. Made me think he was tryin to s**t me and then maybe put my Cartek in your car. Either way, i got my clutch in and im happy. Think you might could help with the Hooker's? I never got your mail i dont think but ill check it out.

Did you speak DIRECTLY to Mike and get that $450 quote? That seems a little inaccurate for the job and the amount of time involved. I would think it MIGHT be $250 or so. If you talked to Troy, call back and tell Mike your needs and see what he quotes you.

Sounds like you talked to Troy. Call back and talk to Mike. I think it's more like a 4 hour job, and it may have stay over night a day or two because Mike is short-handed right now.

I called Hoyts today and talked to a guy named Dave. Im definitely taking my car to them for sure. WAY cheaper than More and he took the time to answer all of my questions. Seems like good people. Thanks for the help guys.

I am over at MORE alot and they quoted me 480 for the labor on the headers. They do good work but are very slow. It took them 2 months to get my heads fixed and 2 weeks to hone in my pistons. But there is a guy named Jim Dehardt (think thats how you spell it) who does really good work. He knows what he is doing and usually does the work for about 1/2 as much as More would charge. he lives in Lincolnton.

I don't blame you. More has steadily gotten less and less customer-friendly. I don't know what the deal is. Glad you found somewhere to get them installed.
