The clutch in your car allows you to move up and down through the gears when driving. It is vital – without one, you wouldn’t be able to move the car at all. So, when issues occur with this important component, the results can be costly.

When your existing clutch gets worn down beyond repair, our experienced team at Axminster Autos can replace it with a brand new one. This allows you to take to the road without the worry of breaking down or significant loss of braking power, so you can enjoy every single journey once again.
Don't let the next journey in your calendar fill you with dread

When you might need us

There are a number of key signs that could indicate that your existing clutch is not performing at its top capacity. For many, the clutch pedal may feel harder to push down or cannot be released as easily. You may notice a grinding of clanking sound or the clutch pedal may vibrate when driving. In these situations, it is likely your clutch has become worn and potentially needs to be replaced. And we’re here to help make your car safe again while minimising the risk of breakdowns in the future too.
