The clutch connects your engine to the gearbox, enabling smooth gear changes and controlled acceleration. Signs of clutch wear include slipping, difficulty changing gears or a high biting point.
A worn clutch can lead to reduced performance and potential gearbox damage if not addressed promptly.
We diagnose clutch faults and carry out professional repairs or full replacements, restoring smooth operation and reliable driving performance.
Clutch Repair
Our clutch repair service includes an extensive inspection of your clutch, including the clutch plate, pressure plate, flywheel, and the hydraulic system used for initiating engagement and disengagement, including the slave cylinder, clutch fluid, piston seals, and piping. Auto Service & Tuning Centreβs skilled technicians work to source all present faults before making recommendations relevant to remedial work.
Should clutch repairs be required, we guarantee the use of only high quality or manufacturer-approved parts and fluid, ensuring the longevity of the repair. For further information regarding our clutch repair service, or to book in your vehicle, contact Auto Service & Tuning Centre today.
Clutch Replacement
In the case of significant wear or damage, our technicians may recommend a clutch replacement. This is especially common in cases of ineffective friction plates, which prevent effective engagement. Though clutch replacements can be costly, they are necessary to vehicle functionality. Without a correctly functioning clutch, youβll experience a lack of acceleration power, clutch slippage, and a host of other issues.
Auto Service & Tuning Centre provides a comprehensive clutch replacement and fitting service at our centre in Hitchin. Our Bosch-accredited technicians provide clutch replacement across all common vehicle makes and models, and we guarantee our use of only high quality or manufacturer-approved parts.

Clutch Repair FAQs
Common signs include slipping (engine revs increase but speed doesnβt), difficulty changing gears, a biting point that feels unusually high or low, or a burning smell during driving. If your vehicle struggles to accelerate smoothly, itβs worth having the clutch inspected.
Most clutch replacements take between 4β8 hours, depending on the vehicle and whether additional components (such as the dual mass flywheel) also require replacement.
Costs vary depending on the make and model of your vehicle, as labour time and parts differ significantly, especially on German and prestige cars. A proper inspection allows for an accurate quote based on the exact issue.
Clutch slipping is usually caused by worn friction material on the clutch plate. Sticking or difficulty engaging gears can be due to hydraulic faults, cable issues, or wear within the clutch assembly itself.
