At the point where I need a new clutch installed. Can anyone recommend a shop in the Phoenix area?

See if DDM is going to be at Nationals in Flagstaff and schedule a time with them would be my recommendation.

Bobby I think he might actually be in Phoenix Arizona, not sure why it says eastern NC under his avatar.

Otherwise this could be a new game.  Hey I am in Central Hellinois does anyone know a good place to get their oil changed in Durango Colorado?  You do? Okay good I was just wondering.

Yeah, I just moved out to Phoenix from NC. Plenty of auto shops around but was wondering if anyone had experience taking their kappa to one.

They'll do a clutch at the mod meet? That sounds intense for a hangout but sure beats the 7+ hrs to SC.
hmmmm

They show as a Vendor on the NASSM site?
She's an 09 Brazen GXP.

Covered by Norms Fiberglass, DDM, WERKS, KappaSphere, Trifecta performance, Dejon performance, Solo performance, Magnaflow, Hahn, VDI, B&G, ASAP, WindRestrictor, Gravana, JPM, Santana, Madmod, HID pro, Second Skin Audio, mydipkit, Automotivetouchup.com and Smoothline.

To be or not to be hard, that is the question. I prefer my top off and still hard when I need it.

For what it's worth I used AAMCO. I was a bit hesitant but they seemed to have done a great job. I guess it just depends on the guy doing the work. I've put 800 miles on it and so far no problems. For got how touchy the clutch was on our cars when new though. Almost  stalled it a few times when I first got it back.
08 Brazen GXP.  GMPP tune + new IC!, Magnaflow exhaust, DDM backbone and brace, rear Z0K sway bar, Eiback springs, debadged (mostly) and dechromed(mostly), black door handles, Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110 on 19" MODA1 wheels, color matching boomerang.
