How much would it cost to replace a clutch in a Honda Accord?

My niece just bought a Honda Accord 1996 and it needs a new clutch, My friend who works on cars said he would do it for $600 including parts. She has a friend who said he will do it for $150 parts included. I don't trust her friend. So my question is....is $600 too much to pay an experienced mechanic replace the clutch?How much would it cost to replace a clutch in a Honda Accord?hi, i just had to do a clutch in my car. I have a few questions, are u just buying the clutch disc or the clutch kit. the kit comes with everything clutch disc,pressure plate, throwout bearing, alignment tool. if its the clutch disc then it will be cheap like $50, $60 bucks, the kit is a little more expensive like $150-$200 bucks maybe $125 if ur lucky. now thats on a stock clutch kit. but proformace clutch kit which is what i bought is like $250-$500 i paid $350. But, now lets get to the point $150 sounds like hes buying the stock clutch kit and putting it in with no extra cost meaning free labor. Now the other guy for $600 sounds like hes buying the stock clutch kit and $300 for labor. Now replacing the clutch is not very hard but it take alot time to do. Because you have to take the transmission out and pull the clutch out and replace it with ur new one. But if ur low on cash and the guy can do it for $150 that will be ur best bet, but on the other hand he might not install it correctly and u might run into problem later down the road so ask if he had on clutches before. hopefully this help sorry about the long story. good luck with your car.
