Resurfacing stock flywheel - quick question

I am going to do a clutch swap in a few weeks, and I'm going to have my stock flywheel resurfaced. My question is when I take it to a shop should I just have them resurface it, or is there anything else I have to tell them to check or do? Also, I heard some Napa's do it. Do they do a good job?

I'm sure any place that normally cuts flywheels can do it. Just tell them to cut your flywheel or "resurface" it. Thats all they need to do.

Use some brake cleaner, acetone, or MEK on a clean rag and wipe the flywheel down really well before re-installing too.

Make sure they know what they're doing. If they go too deep it can cause clutch problems because it changes the distance the slave cyl./throw out bearing has to travel. If they take too much off, the clutch will not release because the release fingers on the pressure plate won't be pushed in far enough. Most shops that do this have shims available to put between the crank and flywheel to bring it back to the correct location.
