Frequently asked questions about clutch repairs and replacement

The price of a new clutch depends on your car's manufacturer, model, and the type of clutch it needs. We understand cost is important to you, so we'll always provide a transparent quote upfront.

Look out for these signs:

  • Trouble shifting gears.
  • A slipping clutch (revs increase but speed doesn't).
  • A pedal that sticks, vibrates, or feels spongy.
  • Strange noises when pressing the clutch.

Experiencing any of these? It might be time for a check-up.

It's best not to. A faulty clutch can lead to further damage and might even be unsafe. If you're noticing issues, get in touch with us to sort it out sooner rather than later.

Booking is easy, just visit our website. We'll need to know a bit about your car to give you an accurate quote. Once you're happy, we'll find a time that suits you to get the work done.

Yes, all our clutch repairs have a warranty to cover parts and labour. We'll give you all the details, including the duration and terms when you book your repair.

Most clutch repairs take between 5 to 8 hours, depending on your car's specifics. We'll let you know how long we expect the work to take when you book your repair.

Absolutely. Here are a few tips:

  • Avoid riding the clutch.
  • Shift gears smoothly.
  • Don't use the clutch to hold the car on a hill.
  • Keep your foot off the clutch unless you're shifting.

Good habits can significantly extend your clutch's lifespan.

A clutch repair typically includes replacing the clutch disc, pressure plate, and release bearing. Depending on your car, it might also involve replacing the flywheel or adjusting the clutch cable or hydraulic system.

Several factors affect the cost, including the type of clutch your car needs and the complexity of the replacement work. Some cars require more labour to access and replace the clutch, which can increase the cost.

If we spot anything else during the clutch repair, we'll let you know right away. We provide a full transparent quote for any additional recommended work and will only proceed with your approval. We're here to answer any more questions you might have and ensure your clutch repair goes as smoothly as possible and you’re back on the road in no time.
