looking for a 996 mechanic near Atlanta

I have a friend that needs a shop to change a clutch in a 2001 996. Quoted $3500.00 but I think that's absurd..any experience near Athens, Ga. or east side Atlanta?
thanks,
Ben

Graham Everett Motorsports at Road Atlanta is a fair and capable small shop. 770-965-5560. He rebuilt my 3.0L with clutch replacement. No complaints after nearly 30 track days.

I'd say Franz Blam racing. They do great work, and they are right off of 78. Unfortunately, I have no experience with the other shops mentioned here.

I think Ryland use to drive a 996 himself for what it's worth. I take my car to him, great work so far.
