Lute Riley Honda Lute Riley Honda is not a reputable dealership Richardson, Texas

I have a great mechanic off 35 and Royal - not cheap but will not screw you!! Dealerships will and I learned my lesson about them.  Just go to AES at this location!! They are great and do a fantastic job - will give you a quote before any work is done.

A clutch is a part which wears out as it does it's job.  Under normal circumstances, the clutch is NOT covered by warranty just like brake pads/shoes etc.  You got about ten months out of this clutch.  If the repair was required the next week or month after the replacement, then perhaps you might have a case.  However, in the ten month period they could make a point the problem is how you shift if you were to take this to small claims court.  Can you prove otherwise? 

Also, $6000+ for a clutch and cat converter seems a bit high but typical price gouging for a dealership.  I urge you to begin a relationship with a good independent shop.  I don't mean Walmart, the quick oil change place or somebody who works out of a storage unit.  I do mean somebody who owns and operates a well equipped shop and works on anything.  Often times the owner still works as a mechanic.  What you will find is better customer service and certainly much better prices!
