How do I know if my clutch is going?

Common signs include the clutch slipping under acceleration, a high biting point, judder when pulling away, a burning smell, difficulty selecting gears or unusual noises when pressing the clutch.

How much is a clutch replacement?

Clutch replacement costs vary by vehicle, clutch type and whether any related parts are needed. We price based on the correct parts for your make and model and the labour involved. You get a clear fixed price before work starts.

How long does a clutch replacement take?

Many clutch jobs are completed in a single working day, depending on the vehicle and parts availability. Some models take longer due to gearbox access and layout.

Is it safe to drive with a slipping clutch?

It is not recommended. A slipping clutch can worsen quickly, may leave you stranded and can cause extra damage if driven for long periods.

Do you repair brakes as well?

Yes. We carry out brake inspections and common brake repairs such as pads and discs. If you have squealing, grinding, vibration under braking or warning lights, we can diagnose and advise on the best action.

Do you do gearbox work?

Yes. We diagnose gearbox related issues such as difficult gear selection, noises, linkage problems and related faults. Not all gearbox issues require a full gearbox replacement. We diagnose first and explain your options.

What information do you need for a quote?

We need your vehicle make and model or registration, your postcode, the symptoms you are seeing and when you would like the work done. The more detail you give, the more accurate and faster the quote.
