Mike's Drivelines did a shitty job on my flywheel, totally out of spec when I measured and with a machine that was worn out according to the next guy we took it to. I walked out of there without paying the guy, which was good because the flywheel was in unusable condition.

I went to Automotive Machining Technologies and it was done right. It cost more, but they did it correctly.

Aamco was probably the one place in the Temple Terrace/Carrolwood area we didn't check as we rushed around looking for a place that could do it. Another shop that was recommended after searching here on tr (besides mike's drivelines- and that recommendation didn't work out well) was the NAPA on Florida. They have a machine shop, it's the place I almost had my flywheel done at. They closed an hour early for no reason that Saturday, so I don't really know how good they are.

where is aamco located? how much did Automotive Machining Technologies charge you?

i do go by "you get what you pay for" so money is not an option if it is of the best quality work, so i'll check out those shops get quotes and wait to see if anyone has any more suggestions

thanks guys

Baycity clutch on 40th street did a nice job on my flywheel. I've heard nothing but good things about them.
