So yea if your car sounds like this either gamble with your dealer and pray you don't have hot spots like my clutch and flywheel did as they may warranty it out. But you risk and insanely high bill due to dealer costs. Or just go to a third party mechanic you trust and have them do it at half the price. Or do it yourself and save a ton of money. You could also switch to geico, and use that money to cover the throwout bearing. Anyway link here.
This truly sickens me. Any mech worth his/her salt would immediately recognize that noise. Not to be inflammatory but you handed them the problem on a plate and they ignored it.

Only if it was adjusted improperly so the master cylinder pushrod is not kept from fully extending when the clutch pedal is released.
