Back in Mass, what shops to bring Mini to replace clutch?

Hey Guys,

I've moved around a lot and finally ended up moving back to Mass area.

My R53's clutch is starting to go, wondering if anyone knows a good reputable shop around the Milford Mass area?

Even in Warwick, RI area is fine, since I'm down there a lot.

Lastly, I have a 15% reduction pulley I bought 5 years ago that I have not had chance to install, would anyone know a shop that can do both jobs? (replace clutch and install pulley) for a reasonable price?

Thanks

Yep, from all I have heard over a long period of time the ride up to Worcester is well worth the time.

Cheers,

Charlie

Yep, go see Pete at Greasy's Garage. You will not be sorry.

I should add that Mini of Peabody has also earned my trust over a very long period of time. I have not compared labor rates, but assume that Greasy's might be less expensive. MoP however are a pleasure to do business with, and are my primary partner in the quest for autocross glory up here in New England.

Cheers,

Charlie
