Default Need a mechanic

I need a mechanic in the Roanoke/Salem. My 98 Civic CX has sat for nearly 2 months at a shop waiting for a clutch and other bits. I initially wanted a shop to do it so I didn't have to deal with much down time. Even if I yank the car from the shop, it's too damn cold for me to work outside.

Here's the dirty bit. I have a clutch, axles and exhaust to go in the car. Obviously these jobs are intertwined, but every shop I find wants to charge me book time. So, they're not only trying to get 8 hours of labor for the clutch, but then they're throwing on another 2 hours to bolt in a brand-new factory exhaust and what ever book says to do axles. I also have a water pump and timing belt to go in.

If anyone can recommend a shop that isn't going to completely rape me on this, or if you are looking for some extra holiday cash, let's here it. I'll be able to judge your level of competence pretty quickly, so don't bother if you are a fucking retard. It must be done 100% by Sunday, no questions asked and no corners cut. I've already got parts.
