Default Reputable Shop Advice

Hey guys- I'm in Harrisonburg and today my clutch (2000 Honda s2000) has decided to no longer engage, pedal is super spongy and has to be pushed all the way to the floor to even feel any pressure. Car had a clutch replacement at 63k miles, now sits at 89k miles....car goes into gear fine when the car is off, and once RPM's are up, shifts smoothly through all gears. But have to rev-match to get into second to get started from a stop. Clutch fluid is pretty full but very black, probably has never been changed, so I'm hoping it needs a good flush/change.

I usually get all my work done back home in Charlottesville, I don't really trust anyone in Hburg and was wondering if you guys had any suggestions of people that won't rip me off or try to tell me 400 other things are wrong just because I'm a girl. Please offer up suggestions, I need this done ASAP as I have the busiest week of my semester this week and need my car back, stat.

Thanks
