Default Any shop recommendations for Gear install?

Does anyone have a viable recommendation for 4.77 gear install? I've been getting a couple quotes locally and up in OC and they seem pretty steep. So if anyone can chime in I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Hah, man you should have heard me. I told him I was your BFF from back in the day and made it so obvious that I knew you and I even described your car. Parts alone are going to run $660 from hardtop guy and the rest to me seems like he just wants to charge for the install. I was like WTF? That's not even including 90K maintenance or valve adjustment like I had originally wanted him to add to the quote. Haha. No bueno.

I'll be happy post a break down of your quote and what it included so that people don't think were 'nuts'. If you feel that the quote was out of line, I apologize. However I would really appreciate it if you didn't merely post that our quote was ridiculous instead of PMing me and asking whats up. It was a quote for exactly what you asked for, when we quote people we don't skip any parts in it like some shops just to beat the price to get the job. We put quality of work over everything else and in doing that we can be on the expensive side. However doing that we have kept and will retain a top notch reputation to our current and future customers.

We will be more than happy to provide any services on a S2000, or any Japanese Import car for that matter. The thing everyone on here needs to remember is that these aren't exactly a Honda Civic. The parts are expensive, the car requires special tools to repair them as well as knowledge. In the Honda repair business we have some of the longest knowledge in southern California. Infinite Motion was established in 1979 by my father, he worked as a Honda specialty shop for over 10 years as the sole mechanic. We still specialize in Honda's, however we have one of the best names in Japanese Import repair in North County.
