Most auto parts stores have a place that can have it done within a day. Maybe not in their store, but they usually have a hub that will do it that their trucks run to on a daily basis.

When doing any repair, especially some grunt work, you want to rule out all possibilities of doing it twice. Resurface your flywheel.

Resurface it IMO, if you don't, it'll probably wear out your clutch faster.

It takes about an hour to resurface (I took it to a local shop).

And what skcusloa said, you dont want to do the work Twice.

I did not resurface mine and it seems to be fine...going close to 2,000 miles after replacing the clutch.

You really only have to resurface it if it has glazing, which depends mostly on how you drive.

Considering the cost of a resurface, I'd just do it to ensure the new disk seats right.
