Done right the first time
A clutch job means removing the transmission, so we inspect the flywheel, seals and mounts while we're in there and tell you what we find. That helps you avoid paying for the same labor twice. For automatic transmission concerns, see our transmission repair page.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know if my clutch is slipping?
If the engine revs rise but the car doesn't speed up the way it should, especially in higher gears or going uphill, the clutch is likely slipping.
How long does a clutch last?
It depends on how and where you drive. Stop-and-go traffic, hills and towing wear a clutch faster. We can check yours and tell you how it's doing.
Should the flywheel be replaced with the clutch?
Not always. We inspect it and recommend resurfacing or replacement only if it needs it.
Is it safe to drive with a slipping clutch?
It usually gets worse quickly and can leave you stranded, so have it checked soon.
