550 clutch replacement

Looks like I finally need a new clutch after 30k miles in my ownership. The release bearing is whining away so time to get it done. Any advice on where to get a clutch? Eurospares seem cheapest so far.

I've just put my car away for the winter, and it's not long serviced so I won't be getting it done as part of a service in April when I take it out of storage. The nearest indie to me is 3 hours away, so it's a bit of a faff to drop it off for a clutch replacement, come home and then go back for it a couple of days later.

Would you trust a decent local garage to do a clutch replacement on your car? It is just a car after all, and there's no F1 electronics on the clutch etc, so how different can it be to a 'normal' car? Would be a lot easier for me
 
Also don't really know the 550 but on a 348 it can be a DIY job and I know a few people who have done their own. As such the only reason to have a Ferrari specialist do it is for the service record rather than for the work itself.
