hi, would anyone recommend any clutch service centres that supply and fix clutches in north or west london?

iv got a toyota avensis which needs its clutch changed, and am getting quoted prices from £270 to £350, bit out of my league i recogn.

if anyone knows of anybody who has reasonable charges to change the clutch, it would be excellent to know,

thanks in advance,
Skiddy

    http://www.mrclutch.com lots of branches - lowish prices, 'cos they, mainly use reconditioned parts.you still have a warranty, of course.

    Also plenty of independent repairers can be Luk clutch centres - this is a good brand, offering 2year guarantees, usually.

    Are there any geabox centres near you - they can sometimes be VERY fast - so should be cheaper.

  • Beware of Mr Clutch.

    I'm not sure that they use reconditioned parts, and they will use LUK parts if you ask them to, but they recently quoted me a price that was about £70 cheaper than the local main dealer. Half-way through the job they call to say that the flywheel needs skimming and the gearbox oil needs replacing which funnily enough comes to about £70.

    The local main dealer would have included that in the price anyway, it's standard stuff for a clutch change (I've since learnt!). Beware.
