Best place for a new clutch on car.

Clutch on car has just died and need a new one asap. Does anyone know the best/cheapest place in Belfast for one?

Thanks

Yeah really, Helen's right.

When our clutch went, we phoned around all teh local garages, but Mister CLutch was cheapest by far...about £50 cheaper.

The bug bear is then you may have to travel further, which may be difficult in a car with no clutch.

I guess they're heaps cheaper cos they do clutches all the time so suppliers are cheaper for them.

Or alternatively they could use cheaper inferior quality parts and cut corners.

Cheaper is not always better.

Hi Freddie,

I think there is a place in Cromac Street (Ormeau Avenue end) called Clarkes that does clutches. Not sure if they are trade only, but you could try them.

I could be cycical or i could be someone who works in the motor trade and know about the company and how they operate.......

Motorcraft at merville quoted me £85 for a "blueprint" clutch for my celica which is a fair bit cheaper than clarkes were looking. If it's a jap car then blueprint are as good as OEM. I was quoted a good price for fitting by a mates brother who's just opened his own garage in Crumlin, not mates rates just a sensible hourly rate.
