Default Throwout Bearing Went in My Baby :(

Well...the other night started her up and set out to get food. I got a little spooked when I wasn't paying attention and impulsively got on it a little hard. When i shifted I heard a pop, and now, that dreaded scraping sound of the throwout bearing Only shuts up when you have the clutch all the way in. Now...does anyone know of a good place to get it fixed? I want a place that will get it done quick, and not make me wait a week, and not cost more than it should. Let me know thanks guys.

do you have any mechanical skills, all you need to do is drop the tranny and replace it, hardest part is dropping it,if you have a friend to help it should take an hour or two tops.Only place i know thats good is wayne transmission but any shop should be able to do it quickly if its only the bearing

Unfortunately I don't have the necessary tools to do it myself, or the help. I'm new up here so I don't know anyone to help me. Probably going to have to bring it to a shop.

I miss my tools lol.
