- Price agreed first. Every job is quoted before we start. Anything extra, we call you and wait for a yes.
- 24-month warranty. Parts and labour, 24 months or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first.
- Keeps your car’s warranty. Parts to manufacturer spec and a stamped service record, so the factory warranty stands.
What we do
A slipping clutch shows up as revs climbing without the car speeding up, usually on a hill or when overtaking. A juddering pull-away or a pedal that bites near the top are the other signs. None of them gets better on its own.
Replacing a clutch means taking the gearbox off, so it is a full-day drop-off job. The price on the quote covers the kit, the labour and the road test. Diesel cars add a check of the dual-mass flywheel while the gearbox is out; if it needs replacing too, we call you with a price first.
Most hybrids and all electric cars have no clutch, so the quote does not offer the job for them.
What’s included
- Clutch plate, pressure plate and release bearing
- Gearbox removed and refitted
- Flywheel inspected (dual-mass flywheels checked for play)
- Gearbox oil level checked
- Road test through every gear
“The dealer wanted over £1,300. Fernley did it for £859 with a dual-mass flywheel check, gave me the courtesy car, and the van was ready at half three as promised.”
