Local shop recommendations for clutch

I’m looking for shop recommendations for a clutch and flywheel instal on my 2012 WRX.
I called FW and got a quote but I feel like it’s a bit steep, at least in comparison to 5-7yrs ago when I went through this with my 02 WRX. Back then I opted to do it myself by pulling the motor. I’ve got too much going on now a days and am thinking it would be more advantages to have a shop do it this time around.
Im thinking about going with the ACT HD clutch and flywheel combo since I’m not making crazy HP but plan more mods down the road. That kit sells for roughly 900$ on rallysportdirect.
Any advice on other shops to contact or is FW the best place to go?
Any advice on clutch choice?
The 900-1000$ for labor costs is still making me think about doing it myself and pulling the motor to do it. I would need to find a picker and an extra set of hands though.

It's a hike, but M45 in Auburn does most of the work on my car that I don't do.

Thanks rob! I called and they were pretty close in price to FW.. guess labor costs have gone up a lot since 2011! Lol

When I did the clutch in my bugeye I pulled the trans instead of the motor.
