Reviews Summary

AI Generated

Reviews are largely positive, with many customers praising friendly, helpful staff, quick MOTs and repairs, good value and a clean, welcoming garage. However, several one-star reviews flag recurring communication and booking failures — unconfirmed or ignored online bookings and unexpected closures — which undermined the otherwise reliable service for some people.

Your clutch maintains the connection between your gearbox and your engine. When you depress the clutch pedal, two metal plates come apart and separate the engine from the drive wheels, allowing you to change gear. Bringing the pedal back up re-engages the plates and reconnects the engine to the drive wheels.

Any problems with your clutch can lead to a lack of control while driving. If you notice this, you should book a clutch replacement as soon as possible. Otherwise, your car will be at an increased accident risk.

 

When Should I Book a Clutch Replacement?

 

A clutch should last 60,000 miles on average. If you drive carefully and look after the clutch, it can last much longer than this. Conversely, holding the clutch at the biting point for too long will wear it out quicker.

You should book a clutch replacement near you at the recommended interval or whenever you notice any of the following warning signs:

  • You struggle to change gear
  • Your car won't engage gear
  • The clutch makes a grinding, squealing, shrieking or other bad noise
  • You can smell burning from the clutch
  • Your biting point has become higher than normal

 

What Happens During a Clutch Replacement?

 

During a clutch change, a mechanic will inspect your clutch and gearbox condition to ensure the clutch is to blame before beginning the repair. Then, they will unhook the battery and disconnect the clutch and/or hydraulic slave cylinder before stabilising the engine. Next, they will unbolt the pressure plate, check for any leaks and damage and then clean everything and replace as many parts as necessary. Once they have rebuilt the front end of your car, they will test the clutch to ensure they’ve fixed your problem.

 

How Much Does a Clutch Replacement Cost?

 

The average UK clutch kit costs £325, but you can face a £1,000 bill for a full clutch replacement. You can save up to 70% on your clutch replacement by comparing deals from thousands of local garages through BookMyGarage.

 

How Long Does a Clutch Change Take?

 

A clutch replacement usually takes between 3 and 5 hours, but can take up to 10 hours to complete.

Flywheel Replacement

 

A flywheel is a disc that connects to the crankshaft and rotates to generate energy, storing that energy for use at a later date. When your engine struggles to provide enough torque to keep the car moving, the flywheel will use its stored energy to take over. Your flywheel also ensures that your gears are working properly as you use the clutch.

Quite often, your car will need a flywheel replacement at the same time as a clutch change. As a result, flywheel failure includes many of the same symptoms as a faulty clutch. You should book a flywheel replacement if you notice:

  • Your gears slipping
  • A burning smell
  • Clutch 'chatter' (the clutch stutters when disengaging)
  • Vibrations in the clutch pedal
  • Clutch 'drag' (not fully releasing)

The average dual mass flywheel replacement cost in the UK ranges from £750 to £1,500.

 

What do you need from your garage?

You may live within walking distance of a garage which offers most of the services you need. However, by sticking with the nearest garage in Bournemouth you could be missing out on a better deal. What if a garage with a collection / drop off service or courtesy car could do the same job at a good price, without the inconvenience of losing your car for the duration of the repair? BookMyGarage allows you to search for local garages which offer this facility, and compare their prices, all in one session.
