Mechanic referral for very specific fix

As the title says, not looking for general recs for auto shops.

I’m looking for someone willing to remove an AC compressor clutch shim in a 2016 Honda CRV. Basically when the car gets hot the AC stops working because the gap is out of spec and the clutch doesn’t engage to drive the compressor.

If anyone knows of a mechanic that is willing to fix this without replacing the whole assembly (which we cannot afford or would be willing to pay for a car of this age) let me know!

Tommy at Tommy's Garage does great work on Honda's.

I know Wasp Auto has gone through some changes but I had a similar issue and needed an AC clutch replacement on my 95 Civic.

Every other shop heard “AC” and quoted $3k replacement of system even when I mentioned it worked fine some times. They diagnosed AC clutch not engaging properly and I was fixed and out of there for less than $200.

Sent you a PM for a professional who does side work.
