I just had Z-Tech install a complete clutch and flywheel kit, along with a CMAK to take care of the crappy slave cylinder, and was very happy with the work and service. I dealt with Ari, who I'm pretty sure is an owner, and he was great to deal with. He personally texted me some videos of the old parts when they came out to show condition, and the new CMAK kit installed and ready to go back in with the transmission. They were also totally flexible on installing the parts that I picked out and ordered, which many shops will not do under any circumstances.
Another Orlando shop I can vouch for is Lemon Chasers. They're a standard repair mechanic, so not as performance oriented as Z-Tech. The owner's name is Jerry, and he's also very polite and patient. They installed the engine on my previous G37 when the gallery gasket blew and it spun a bearing. He found a good condition used engine, and completed the job with very reasonable rates and turnaround. Lemon Chasers was recommended to me by a friend who has been dealing with them for years on many cars, and I was glad I found them when I did. Jerry also took the time to email me quite a few pictures of progress showing the engine pulled, and anything that needed attention, without ever being asked.
You'll have no trouble going over details with either one of them, and they both obviously cared a great deal about the quality of what they put back out into the world. Lemon Chasers may be a little cheaper, but the last time I brought my car to them, there was resistance by his tech to use parts that I had provided, so definitely discuss that up front.
