Default Looking for a good and reasonable shop in SC/NC

I just picked up a 05 CTS-V and I'm making a list of things that I need done.

As you can see, I want to do LS7 fly, clutch kit and slave + CS mounts.

Any recommendations for shop with GOOD prices and reputation that would get this done for me?

Thanks,

PJ

I've been using Mickey's Auto Repair off of Bush River Rd. They do really good work and are relatively cheap. The build a lot of lsx's. In the past 3 months they have done my tick master install, MGW shifter install, Heads/Cam install, and my 12 bolt install.

Edit: I should also tell you that Mike Bruce the owner of B&B corvette does a lot of his work out of there so they always have big vette builds going on and he does all of my tuning. Its pretty much a one stop shop for me. They get the cars done pretty quick also.

The Tick and MGW install took one day.
Heads/Cam took a week
12 Bolt took 2 days

Thanks Tyler. Is that the Mickey's over near Irmo? I used to pass that place all the time and didn't know they did LSx stuff.

In all honesty, I'm not really that familiar with that side of Columbia, but I do know that it is about 3 miles from the Lake Murray Dam.
