Mechanic Recommendations

I am looking for a reputable mechanic for my 2005 R50 in the central Massachusetts area (Webster, MA)

I have started to get a slight clutch shutter when starting off in 1st gear, the shutter happens after driving the car a few miles, never happens when the car is cold. I'm wondering if the clutch could be on it's way out.

I bought the car used with 55k and recently turned 91k, 90% of the miles were highway.

I'm trying to stay away from the dealer, several threads have quotes in the $2k range
