Clutch shops

Need to replace the clutch in my 2006 G35 coupe. Are there any reputable shops here in Vegas?

The way I found this GREAT shop here in Suwanee, GA was to Google search "Import auto repair" and my zip code. It gave me a list of shops, and reviews, and then I used YELP to read any additional reviews. I just did this for Vegas, and found a place that may be a good start for you called Charlie's Import Auto Service. It has great reviews. http://www.charliesimportauto.com/
Also... I determined my search of garages here in GA based on how long they have been in their location.

What shop in suwanee did you choose. And how long did it take, and how much were they asking. Good quality?

Hey! I went to Japanese Auto Repair (JAR) on Peachtree Industrial; just past McGinnis Ferry and before Lawrenceville / Suwanee Dam Rd. I spoke with them for 2-3 months; asking all types of questions and getting their feedback to all my different scenarios. They were very quick to respond to my emails! When I did go to meet them to discuss the work that would be done to my G, they had a G35 on the rack being serviced, so I felt better actually knowing they were not just doing service to old Toyota Corollas and "lower case" imports. The guys were knowledgeable, and the shop has been in-service since 1988.
Price was right on-par with my expectations. They can provide all parts needed, and have it done in 5-6hrs. They can put a stage 1 or 2 or whatever you are willing to pay for... and of course, you get their warranty for the work done. I was in a position to save as much money as possible, so I researched and stalked a Stage 1 Exedy clutch, and an Exedy lightweight flywheel through Exedy's Amazon Store until it hit an amazing price. The guys at JAR said the install of both would be only $450, but NO warranty.
It performs as it should, with a little chatter, but I'm OK with it. The ONLY issue I've had is that when I had picked up my car, my engine light was ON. It was not on when I dropped it off. I took it back the next day and they cleared it, but it came back on 10 minutes later. I am a little foggy as to the reason they said it was on. I think I heard vacuum issue, or an oil issue? I dont recall. I'm due for an oil change at Nalley Infiniti of Decatur in a week, so I will have them go over the car. Other than that, I would recommend these guys. Ask for Raymond (mechanic) or Pej who works the desk. Good guys! Send them an email and see how you feel about what you want done. I thought their prices for OEM and a resurfacing of the flywheel was reasonable. Here is a direct cut and paste from our conversation:
There is three options with the clutch replacement. Depending on what you are looking for I can replace with original clutch or get a stage 1 or stage 2 performance replacement. All clutch kits are O.E.M (Daikin/Exedy).
O.E.M clutch replacement w/ resurfacing the flywheel - $1015.00 P&L
O.E.M stage 1 performance kit (recommended to replace flywheel) - $1340.00 w/ resurface of original flywheel. $2353.00 w/ upgraded flywheel. P&L
O.E.M stage 2 performance kit (recommended to replace flywheel) - $1831.00 w/ resurface of original flywheel. $2845.00 w/ upgraded flywheel. P&L
I will replace your own parts if you wish to go that route. For your own parts (no warrenty on labor) - $450.00 + 65.00 to resurface flywheel if needed.
