A good garage for service and clutch Surry/Herts area

[timmyhol 0]

Hi Guys,

Im trying to find a good garage in the SW London/Guildford area for a service and clutch change, does anyone have one to recommend? I've had a look on the good garage/bad garage section and the nearest I can find is Wembley.

Is is right that the clutch will cost around £650 parts and fitting and the service around £200? I was also hoping to lighten the flywheel would it be best to get that done at the same time?

Thanks

Tim

What car is it mate? Clutches are around the 100 quid mark from GSF, unless you take the Sachs one which is 145+vat. I'd say about 4-5 hours labour to get that done. Dunno what garages charge these days, tend to avoid like the plague in favour of getting grubby :D

 

If you want additional work done, it might be worth taking a trip to one of the guys on the South Coast. Darren (g-man), or John Mitchell (16VG60) would be a good places start. I've had dealings with John in the past, and can say he's a good guy and very knowledgable.

Only use VAG clutches - about £100 depending on engine, 3/4 hours labour to fit...

Thanks for the fast response. I'll need it for a VR6, its the first time I've had the car serviced since I got it in March so I'll go a bit further if people recommend somewhere really good. I dont think my skills are up to doing it myself :)

If it's a VR then just go to Stealth, especially if it needs a clutch too as they do them mega quick so what you spend on travel up there you'll save on labour...
